Thank you, I would have gone nuts trying to remember which one it was. For those that don't know, when Battletech (the table top game MWO is based on) was brought to Japan they had to make new art for many of the mechs (because most of the art in the original US version was licensed from known anime/manga sources in Japan), and a few mechs (like the Hunchie) got a facelift to fit in with the new art direction. Honestly, some of the Japanese art could be normalized a little. I recall someone once took the Japanese Stalker art and 'shopped out a few of the extraneous fins/flangs, and it looked great... A little like a submarine, but still great.

Plus the art was done by Studio Nue (makers of Macross); they also did redesigns of mech that were originally using Macross designs.

Naw, need something way more than epic to pull the wool over our eyes.

An UrbanMech with long range nukes isn't epic enough?

^It's a Hunchback.

How about making an anachronistic hero version of the UrbanMech-AIV called "The Kell Hound's Bane" a trial mech for a day?

Should a been a hollander, out has a similar design
Isn't there a heavier later version, something like 40 tonswith more then just a gauss rifle?

Introducing the Urbanmech IIC
You can buy it in the new IIC package. These mechs come with the same engine cap as their IS counterparts but can customize them. This pack also comes with the Hunchback IIC, the Orion IIC, and the King Crab IIC. Bring the fight to IS harder than ever!

An Urbie IIC would be hilarious for all sorts of reasons. The ultimate troll mech, as in the Devs trolling us by making it the first non-omni Clan mech.

It would be glorious!
