Looking forward to finally get the Hunchback IIC, just an awesome mech in general but with this new type it will be much more fun! But the title icons could have been worked out much better indeed.

What do the titles mean? I get the "boombox" one but not the other three.

Why is the HGN's crest depicted with a cross with two roses?

I don't think the Jenner's comes from anything specific... But I believe it is referring to a messenger of death. Death will come on swift wings indeed!

Boom Box is pretty self explainatory, plus, the Hunchie kind of resembles a boom box with stereo speakers.

Orion, the hunter, like the constellation.

The cross and roses is for the Highlander Burial. Highlanders proved so effective at Death From Above, that they had their legs specially reinforced so they could do it even better, and this became known as the Highlander Burial. A 90 ton mech jumping on your head burries you in the ground :P This is also where the Undertaker name came from.

I will not be aurprised if they get some backlash on the cross, though... It might get changed to a generic tombstone... I guess that all depends on the diversity of the community.

Ah, that makes sense! But the constellation is kinda unrelated to the Mech.... And I thought the HGN Burial was popular only on IS HGNs.

The constellation/mythical figure is the mech's namesake o.o

You're probably right. The Clans abhor melee combat amongst mechs. But it's still awesome, so I'm not complaining :P

I am predicting that those new mech will cause a wind of panic among the new player flux coming from steam.

they'll get annihilated. and quit.

Well the orginal Highlanders where SLDF royal mechs meaning only SLDF members from planets around Terra, not SLDF great house units. After a while the highlander was upgraded and the 732s where given out ot non royal units, while the Royals got the upgrade 732bs alot of them orginal mechs left with the exodus hence the upgrades to IICs.

Massive Launchers on the Jenner IIC?

Huh. That. Kind of works to balance it against the Oxide, I guess? If it's bigger overall, but moves at around the same speed.

I will use my Hunchie with dual gauss builds, I swear I will never ever sell those Gauss rifles or swap them for UACs.

With the Hunchy IIC dropping, I expect to hear the phrase "Quad Ultra Auto Cannon" a lot more in the near future. Coincidentally, the old Jade Falcon colors from the BT cartoon remind me of the old Mighty Ducks colors (white, green and purple). Time to practice flying V formations with lance-mates Posted Image Quack, quack!

It's possible. They might see the swarms of Origins mechs as a pay to win thing, rather than a huge number of players mastering up their new rides upon release. Hopefully they aren't over-quirked, as I don't think many of them will need big quirks to be successful. The pre-order bonus variants especially have some nasty hard point numbers.

At least there will be new mechs in every class, so we might not see 60%+ more lining up heavy queue like we have now with the Marauder :D

Kinda hard to do a highlander special when PGI removed melee after the infamous dragon bowling fiasco.

My wallet remains closed for now no matter how much I want the shinies.

PGI fix the game, give us a balanced working CW, and I will gladly spend more.

Can't wait to see these 'Mechs out on the battlefield! But, "The Boombox"? I like the idea, but with warhorns still not working properly? Salt in the wound, PGI. I also agree with some that these badges don't look very professional and look out of place. I mean, we're not casuals and I shouldn't be able to recreate them in MS Paint in 10 minutes... >_<

I has a sad that the only variants I want are the pre-order variants (except the Jenner). And those don't offer the CBill boost, pretty much outside of the omnis the CBill boost variants have been the weakest with a few exceptions.

It's cheaper to just buy the Orion pack, and get the Jenner, than it is to buy the Orion and Hunchie A La Cart. Plus, then you get faction unlocks and such too!
