I am not going to look, and am going to believe VERY HARD in the Mongoose.

It seriously bothers me that - with impending arrival of the the Firestarter - the two iconic Steiner designs we have in the game are both lights.... i mean, come on... a light Steiner mech should be very a rare sight. House Steiner is famous for its assault mechs, the wall of steel. Where are the zeuses and banshees?

Still - I'm getting one of those little buggers - as a suit of battlearmour

Well, guess that confirms it then.

Looks pretty good. I think the chest protrusions are the MGs.

Need more photos...

Note that the Venom is named SDR-9K not VNM-something, it is also stated on sarna that it is a Spider with few modifications.

The original 75-ton Marauder and the 100-ton Marauder II share the same "MAD-xx" designations (e.g. MAD-3R Marauder vs MAD-4A Marauder II), but I suspect that you will find very few that will agree that the latter is simply the former "with a few modifications".
Moreover, the Dragon and Grand Dragon are considered to be separate chassis (with the latter not appearing in MWO), despite the shared "DRG-xx" designation (e.g. DRG-1N Dragon vs DRG-5K Grand Dragon) and (unlike the Spider & Venom) being the same tonnage.

That the Spider and the Venom share the "SDR-xx" merely shows that the two 'Mechs are related, not that they are necessarily either interchangable or able to be intermixed.

Don't be silly, *sniffle* the Mongoose doesn't have machine guns.

Could be AC2's.

You want a controversial mech? I say its the Spector. ECM AND Light Polarization Shield. You think a spider is hard to hit....

[Jenkss]

I'll try again then.

I would very much like to see a hero spider mimic the venom loadout. That would be very cool and not necessarily break the game. All it would be is another 30ton spider with side torso lasers.

Like a beefier 5V (possibly my favorite spider)

Oh I knew why. I'm just surprised all of them we're gone. Some of them weren't even spoilers. But since I've seen it I'll just keep my mouth shut till you guys post it.

The Moderators Ninjas are awaiting your sneek peek posts! I've seen a few vanish, will this one make it? !

To the wolfhound I swear enduring devotion. It's totally going to happen.

TBH, epic reveal the day before or the day of isn't even epic. Most games have patch notes or up coming content at least a week in advance. Unless you spring CW on us, a Hero mech isn't even that surprising. It's a light, will not even be buying.

Well, now that it was outed... Are they just going to announce it or will they try to hold off until Wednesday?

This whole thing happened with the Kintaro as well. If they just put stuff out there earlier then there wouldn't be these issues. People with the know how will dig it up and post it if the devs don't

Exactly my point. Why even bother revealing it the day of or the day before. You don't generate any interest or buzz about it before it goes on sale.
