I can only think of one thing, Road Case! Something like this:

Sure, there are others out there. Most may be a bit larger on the inside for the smaller Mark VII combo. Same for the JP2C combo. Mesa used to have road cases a long time ago. Not sure how long it will take to turn a new amp into a relic looking one.

I have carried my Mark III combo around for some time, never had a case for it. Sort of wish I did. I managed to keep it like new, so it was still in mint condition when I sold it. Back in the 90's it was just a change of location for the band to practice. Never made it to any gigs as I quite the band to pursue my college education since I had to move away for that.
 
I don’t know if I could pick it up if I put in a case - sucks maybe have to get the head ? I think the head is 40lbs. Great tone is heavy
 
I would not say it is a requirement. Just some insurance for protecting your investment, it is nothing more than a suggestion. I have managed lugging around a Mark III combo amp for years, no case but wish I had one. Much heavier than the Mark VII combo by at least 10lbs. The Mark III had an EVM12L Black Shadow speaker so that added some weight to it.

Just pointing out that when you travel to various places, egress may be difficult with some amps to carry into the establishment. I heard of the stories but never experienced some of the issues many have encountered. Combo or head with cab will still have its challenges. Probably does not make much of a difference. Not like you can carry the amp in one hand and the guitar in the other as that may not always work out.
 
My mkIIB combo is heavy too but compact- makes it easier to carry. I’ll have to compare the specs to the VII. I’m just a lot older now - when I was young I didn’t worry about this stuff- thxs for the info
 
Personally I’ve never thought the 1x12 combos sound as good as head and cab. And pushing a head that’s sitting on a cab (with wheels) is easier in most situations too. Or if all you want is a 1x12 get a dolly and a couple bungee cords for the cab and head. You win sound wise and portability wise.
