There would be rage the likes of which you have never even dreamt of.

The Urbie is an IS 'mech; those vat-bred racial supremacists can't even come up with original designs.

At least we did not rip off all of our designs from an anime cartoon... We just "improved" on the ripped off designs :)

That which is Unseen we do not talk about, lest the devil Harmony Gold's lawyers hears.

You know... there was an Urbanmech IIC... Even the Clans decided to use urbanmechs!
What if the Urbie was Clan only? That could make it more playable, though I'd still miss the original...

Do you WANT the dev team to get linched?

There are exceptions to that rule already. It is not a technology issue - it is a design choice.

True, I forgot about some of the hero mechs. Like the Boar's Head which can slap a 400 engine while the rest of the Atlas line goes to 360.

One of these days the Devs are going to actually put this little sucker in the game.
Over 700 posts.... obviously there is an interest.

Oh yeah. I will guarantee that I will pay money for it. They put that walking trash bin in the game, and I will be very happy, and missing some cash. They add the Piranha in, and I'll stop playing anything that isn't these two.

I really dislike lights, even after having mastered over half of them, and even I would get a very unsettling amusement out of the Dakkaranha!....

I'm both terrible with lights and dislike playing them as well... but I'd be all over both, immediately and with MC.

We're excited to announce the UrbanMech UM-R60! This little guy packs quite the little punch with 1 AC/10 and 1 Small Laser for popping off those Mechs you know are hiding in an urban area. With a top speed of 32.4 kph, you won't be expected to chase down those pesky Jenners. Finally!

The UrbanMech UM-R60 will be available from April 1st with a Premium Skin. This unique Mech is available to only the most loyal MechWarriors, including 2 variants and the additional Hero variant.

A new Hero Mech arrives on the battlefield! The UM-CUB "Urbie Curby" comes hot from the manufacturer with two rear mounted AC/20s for pummeling at close range. Grab a partner pilot to join the glory, this Mech has no need for an engine! Ask a lancemate to tow you around (Attach hitch with "E") or stay put at your base like a defensive turret.



most people i WANT it :)

been seeing people complaining in game about needing more ecm mechs. ECM urbie- watch urbie haters heads explode over the dilemna of "urbies are useless" and "ecm is the best".

though actually it would be a good addition to it since, unlike everything but the ddc, there's a 0% chance of the urbie running off and leaving the rest of the team ecm-less.

This thing might just cause a quantum collapse that swallows up the universe.
It's an Urbie, but it has ECM. Is it OP, or UP? It obviously can't be balanced ... Oh dear lord, I think a black hole is starting to form above me. Nope nope nope. Gonna think about other things now.

ECM Urbie would be like Linda Blair... it would unexpectedly reveal itself as a Satanic abomination, spinning its head around and projecting the devil's evil upon everyone around her.

Can we make that the hero variant? Actually nvm, that might get Pay2Win arguments in there.

yeah ecm and dual AMS- call it "Lurm'sbane" but you're right, that could break the balance model completely. "yeah i could get a timberwolf with my MC but it doesn;t do anything compared to a hero ecm/dual AMS urbie. they make my LRM boats UP!"
