So there's a rumor that the next 'mech could be the Kintaro.
http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Kintaro - It's a 55 missile-oriented Medium.

Deleted, just like yours will be ina few hours.

There's that russian thread up now with 3 images of the hero and 2 variants, as well as stats. It arrived in the last patch, so you'd assume it's coming soon.

I just can't wait for Alex's art!

Moving to Upcoming Features

wow no deletion, thanks

well the pictures are there, even the variants with loadouts. Just google it, you can't miss it.
This thing will pack a lot of missiles!
Finally a brawling medium with more than 4 SRM6s
But it looks like it has a huge CT with tiny, jenner-like side torsos. Good for XL, bad for everything else.

My only gripe: again....sigh....again a humanoid mech...can't see em anymore. It looks like a treb from far.

I'm surprised by the number of deletions really.

If you put the files in a patch SOMEONE is going to spot them and say something about it.

Might as well announce it and be done with it.

Communicate with us devs. PLEASE

[MonkeyCheese]

No thank you, give me the flea without masc over a "bad treb" as people are calling it.

[Belorion]

Did they give up? lol...

NGNG shame on you.

I think the mech design might contain a NSFW pun.

Kin (金) has a double meaning in Japanese, it could mean gold or when combine with Tama (玉) could refer to dem "family jewels".
Hence the 2 dangling bits on the crotch.

Kintaro 金太郎 is also a famous folklore hero in Japan, about a young "Tarzan-like" boy who live and communicate with animals and have inhuman strength. Often portrait as a butt naked boy in red and gold belly cloth, dangling bits may be included depending the artist.

at this rate it seems as if we won't ever get the orion, unless they plan to go to a 2 battlemech a month schedule like they said they would forever ago

Sigh... another commando/atlas style 2 arm 2 leg style humanoid mech...

That's what the kintaro is.

[ICUBurn]

Great another crappy medium. Weres my orion already?

[Tennex]

they're censoring these

[VtTimber]

Wow, check out the hardpoints - that is ALOT of missiles

[Zyllos]

It's not a bad looking mech, considering.

Niko moved this one to upcoming features, so perhaps they have given up trying to keep it secret.

Looks like posting the content might bring about the ban hammer... at least temporarily.

That thing looks like a piece of junk. Hardpoint layout is pretty terrible, depending on hitboxes either that CT is huge and the side torsos are also huge, or the CT is HUGE and the side torsos are pretty small but due to positioning still really easily hit, high up on the shoulder there. What's worst is that the legs look almost exactly the same as the Quickdraw, and the energy ports look of a similar size to the QD too. I would be completely unsurprised if this 55 ton mech is once again as tall as an assault.

Edit: As per the post above, I am of course referring to some hypothetical 55 ton mech that possibly might be in production if they were to develop the Kintaro. Which they may or may not be.

What for a disappointment... I don't care for the Orion, but for another light BattleMech!

It's the second time the light to assault circle is broken and no new Light is published.

That's just disappointing.
