* TheAce: The ''Atlas'' is considered to be more versatile and more armored than other 100 ton mechs. While the ''King Crab'' might outclass it in sheer firepower, the ''Atlas'' usually has better reasons to be on the battlefield.

* TheDreaded: With Quirks active the ''Atlas'' is "Distracting", causing enemy 'Mechs to suffer accuracy penalties if they aren't attacking the ''Atlas'' directly. Nobody wants an ''Atlas'' around that's not in their sights. In-universe, if you're facing down an ''Atlas'' in anything that isn't an assault 'Mech in its own right, ''run.''

* TheDreaded: Kerensky himself wanted a mech that was "as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally." The ''Atlas'' IS that mech; no mech in the setting produces such fear, save for maybe the ''King Crab''. However, the ''Atlas'' has the quirks to go with it.

* MightyGlacier: The 'Mech carries an enormous amount of weaponry, enough heat sinks to keep heat under control, and almost twenty tons of armor, but its cruising speed is pretty lousy.

* TheWorkhorse: It's simple design, versatility, storied history of reliability and numerous productions and variants has led to the ''Thunderbolt'' becoming a staple in practically every army across the Inner Sphere and beyond, and is probably more ubiquitous than other common heavies like the ''Warhammer'' and ''Crusader''. The ''Thunderbolt'' is designed to take and give punishment, and they're (relatively) more expendable than losing some of the bigger and more tech-heavy mechs in a lance. This has lead to the distinctive silhouette of the ''Thunderbolt'' lumbering across the battlefield to be a common sight in the Inner Sphere.
