Lopsided, ugly paint, etc.

Looks like 2 missile racks in the RT, 3 energy and 1 ballistic in the RA, and oddly, no trademark head laser.

Looks like leftover graphics from Phranken and the Urbie Special Model.

there been any other info released/hacked on it?

So far, gotta say long as I been waiting for new Heroes, not seeing anything too interesting with "Quarantine" or "Top Dog" (the Tallman TBolt Hero).

No DoA, etc...just disappoint. But then, since that's how I feel about the base chassis in mind, not a shock I reckon.

I like the way it looks (a cool ugly) but I can't see what it can do except split the difference between the 6R and 6K and...meh.

The T'Bolt will need quirks to make use of all those hard points effectively.

Looks non-competitive. Maybe Lplas + mlas + 2x SRM6+A + JJ?

Do we know the hardpoints? I am assuming 1B, 2E, 2M.

I love my Wolverines.

I love Hero Mechs.

I will not buy this one.

That should explain my opinion about it.

Yeah its three energy.

Not really interested in this one. Will probably grab the T-Bolt though.

No, look at the angle, the fisheye kind of effect; compare with the forearm. It's not unusually long. (And, honestly, long barrels > short barrels, if it has to be one or the other!)

Just a perspective problem.

It's ugly-smexy. I kinda like it. I don't own any Wolverines tho, so not sure about how it would perform.

The T'Bolt will need quirks to make use of all those hard points effectively.

I vastly prefer hybrid loadouts to one-weapon-type loadouts, so that's awesome - ballistics+lasers, lasers+srms, both fine.

But ultimately I can't see it coming out sufficiently quirked to make me want to use it instead of other the 6R or 6K. I don't mind using "non-optimal" mechs, but when you've got vastly superior variants (as the 6R and 6K look to be at ballistics / lasers), well... *sighs*

Stupid quirks.

Realistically, I'd probably run something like an AC10; a brace of mediums, a standard 260, 2 JJ and 3xSRM2. Or go with an XL, and upgrade to SRM6's... something like that.

I love how the Wolverines look. All business, all ugly. Like an Orion, it's a war machine, it doesn't care what it looks like.

Someone at PGI thinks crazy wide POV with lots of fisheye distortion is good for showcasing and previewing.

in other words... barrel is not that long... its just... PGI has not yet figured out how to show case something un-distorted and in normal POV

That's one ugly paint job. Though a pseudo-6K with 30% C-Bill bonus is pretty good deal.

You wot mate? I'll take on your 4G with my 6R any given day. In fact, that's precisely what I am gonna do if PGI gets around releasing Solaris mode.

F***...another hero mech that looks good and makes me very tempted

I already had issues resisting the Grey Death, Yen Lo Wang, Heavy Metal, Boars Head, and the Loup De G.

Now I have another hero on the list of temptations and I do not even own a wolverine...

I dislike WVRs, deal with it, "mate". Without tard level quirks they are nothing. With those quirks they become gimmickboats.

Same can be said of the HBK-4G, 4SP, the 4J, and Grid Iron. ;)
