3S looks interesting. Just don't lose that right torso :P

Just noticed the engine cap on the 3S, bummer.

It's likely to be available for Cbills this upcoming patch on Tuesday 18th... I'm looking more forward to being able to paint both my Griffins and Wolverines...

Did they move the laser to the top of the head instead of in the mouth? Same for BNC-LM?

I hope so, the Mech Pilot shouldn't be sitting on a laser, no matter how small.

Only the hero mech has the "flaming" mouth.

It's actually intended as such.

You know, as soon as that goes on sale, I'll have to get it.

These are awful late. Had they slipped in earlier I think it'd have made more sense for someone to spend the to have the head start in leveling one up.

Apparently the original artist intended that the La Malinche sport the weapon like a cigar. The others have it as a forehead weapon with an open mouth.

Now all I can hear are "Nya!"s instead of pews.

Nice. :D
Looking forward to buy one.
Nice Datachard by the way.
Short, informative, everything you want to know in one place. :)

Edit:
Has anyone else visions of Quad AC2 Banshees roaming the maps... or a Ultra AC5, AC5, 2 AC2 Version....creepy. Or....8 light Laser and AC20.....with 70kph topspeed and max armor....
There is a huge troll build potential in this chassis ..... see u soon :)

Far more annoying to lose your left torso, Unlike the LM you seriously don't want to bother with the missiles, but this like the BLR is a mech favouring the left side

Engine cap isn't an issue, the better builds for the S rarely have an engine bigger than a 330 and experience shows the sides go before the CT so you'd have to be brave to consider a XL

Looks like those arms are huge enough that with proper torso twisting, protecting those side torsos will be quite viable.

It never will be working properly IF people waste their money. Our money (or lack thereof) is the only incentive PGI, or ANY company has to do things the way we want them to be done.
