Wonder how many people noticed the easter eggs in the concept art. Here's what I found:

Hellbringer(Loki)

Pilot name is: Hiddleston
As in Tom Hiddleston who played Loki in Thor and the Avengers, fairly obvious but nice touch. Apparently he's a Ghost Bear Star Captain, of Alpha Galaxy(aka: The Golden Bears - Loki(Hiddleston) had gold armour?), going by the bars on the arm and the torso insignia.

Not sure if the 07 has any significance.

Gargoyle(Man O War)

Pilot name is: Doug
This one is a bit more subtle. Doug Spata created an orchestra arrangement called Gargoyles.

The left arm auto-cannon has "Goliath" on it. I believe this is a reference to the 1990's Disney animated television series "Gargoyles". Where Goliath is the name of the main character who is a gargoyle. Yay nostalgia!

Not sure if the 13 has any significance to either.

Jade Falcon Gamma Galaxy (aka: Jade Falcon Galaxy) for the insignia.


Ice Ferret(Fenris)

Has "will find you" written on it. Ice Ferret. Phrase: "To ferret something out". Fairly simple.

Shout out to Wolf Delta Galaxy (aka: The Snarling Wolves) for the insignia.

13 shows up again *shrug*

Left arm gun has "ZP2DXTRM", "zap to the extreme"?


Mist Lynx(Koshi)

Has "Irate feline" written on it. Possible reference to Grumpy Cat (Aka: Tard, short for Tarder Sauce, yes that's the cat's real name.)

"Irate feline" is a possible play on "Mad Cat" - PhoenixNMGLB for the idea

Smoke Jaguar Delta Galaxy insignia, aka: The Cloud Rangers.

4 on this one, I'd say 4chan but Grumpy Cat originated on reddit.


Unfortuneatly I can't see the Mad Dog art as the carousel images cycle to the in game invasion, prime, variant instead of the concept art. All I can make out is a Clan Wolf logo and 03 from the small sale image and variant list image.

Thanks to Monsoon for pointing out the main page image.

Mad Dog(Vulture)

"Beware of Dog" - Found down in the 'groin' area. - Monsoon

See a Wolf Beta Galaxy insignia, aka: The Arctic Wolves until 3058 where they become The Shadow Wolves. The same galaxy that Khan Natasha Kerensky commanded up until her death in the Refusal War.

Number 03, again *shrug*

Wow great post, never would have caught these.

"Beware of Dog" - Found down in the 'groin' area.


Found this off the main image where they have their group photo. What I'll affectionately refer to as the '5 Deadly Vemons' page, or for the Tarantino crowd, the 'Fox Force Five' shot. Mwhahaha


Beta Galaxy (Wolf on Silver Star) aka The Arctic Wolves. (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Nice catch, I didn't think to check the main page image. With that I see a Wolf Beta Galaxy insignia, aka: The Arctic Wolves until 3058 where they become The Shadow Wolves. The same galaxy that Khan Natasha Kerensky commanded up until her death in the Refusal War.

[PhoenixNMGLB]

I see 'irate feline' as being 'not quite as bad as a mad cat'.

Cool, updated my response while you were probably writing, so it seems we're in agreement about it being Beta Galaxy.

I don't think Dough is very lucky....

Nevermind - I read DBUG rather than DOUG

Cool findings!

About the Mad Dog.. Why did they use the "old" heavily modified Clan Wolf insignia?

[Pariah Devalis]

Probably had the art done that far back? I mean, it seems like the mech is all but ready to ship already, anyways.

True, but well, i would think that it does not take so much time just to change the insignia. Anyway, it looks really cool..

I am just sad that we never see a Alpha Galaxy paintjob

[Pariah Devalis]

You mean the alpha galaxy paintjob from the preorder bonus for Clan Wolf?

Least you get the option. Clan's Nova Cat, Diamond Shark, and Steel Viper need to twiddle our thumbs for another year and a half, and the Hell Horses and Adders are just SOL.

Sorry for you, i feel your pain

However i actually meant concept arts. If nothing else, you got a Nova Cat Alpha Galaxy concept art in wave 1

Back to the pre-order colors.. Sadly, we got the worst-looking pattern (at least with those colors) lol.

Well, my opinion is that it should represent a wolf's fur, but i am not quite sure. The olive might be a good Star League color, though.

The Nova Cat warriors are patient. Your time will come, and your Clan will rise!

[Pariah Devalis]

Yeah, until then I have a pile of worthless Clan Wolf (and Falcon, and Jaguar, and Bear) paraphernalia collecting dust in my mechbay.....

[General Pete]

Saber, you found the Hiddleston easter egg and missed the more obvious Marvel one- Jade Falcon loves green- Gamma Galaxy (as in the gamma irradiated Incredible Hulk)? I know all the clans have gamma galaxies, but they picked that one for the falcons on purpose I think.

[CoffiNail]

Alpha Galaxy is blue and slate mottled iirc with white and black crescent. It is actually a very good representatives of Alpha' camo and I hope we get it as well as beta galaxy camo soon.

The CGB rank insignia are stylized gold bars in a shape similar to the CGB head in the logo. No golden armour.

[CyclonerM]

I came to terms with it a long time ago, at least I can run the Dagger Star and not be some filthy Inner Sphere scum. It would be even better if it would show in game...I guess baby steps, baby steps...

Very cool!! Excellent catches, well done!!
