Can anybody sell me on why this mech is worth it?

I can't honestly see the point in another clan light, for game play purposes, your not likely to beat the Arctic Cheeter.
Both I.S and clan now, your pretty much buying for the look

I think is a bit underrated actually. Probably not CW material due to the tons cap, but still a fun striker for public queue. A lot will depend on how tall it is (shouldn't be too much) and the ortho.
Also, if they ever release the heavy laser version (H), we would have access to 6 JJ, 3 in each side torso.
Personally I am waiting for ortho and scale before purchasing.

Why the archer? I don't see much resemblance. From the front is more a Warhammer: squared defined side torsos, low arms. From the side looks a bit like a Marauder: long pronounced head and those "spoilers/wings" side torsos. The arms are really similar.
Well, it's a squared, fat Marauder. However this could be a plus: since it's lighter and fatter, probably it will be quite lower than the former.

I never said it was pay to win it is no quite there yet but the fact is pgi over quarks all mechs that you can only buy for mc or real money is a fact it is a well known fact. It is also a well known fact that right before a mech goes up for sale for c-bills( free in game currency) it gets nerfed. If you can not reconcile these two obvious facts I can not help you.
No, you said just exactly that - that you have to buy 'mechs to compete. You justify this patent falsehood with a conspiracy theory that PGI nerfs 'mechs after they come out for c-bills in order to force you to buy mech packs. I'm... still waiting for my Marauders to be "nerfed into the ground."
This is precisely what you said, and trying to spin your earlier statement with weasel words ("not quite there yet") - along with shameless appeals to common knowledge - isn't going to fly. No matter how many times you string the word "fact" into a meandering, run-on sentence, these opinions will remain untrue.

So far as the game it would be great if they actually balanced it instead of this rolling nerf bs.
They need to get off their A$$ and fix lights , fix the vast junk yard of mechs that they have created by nerfing them into the ground. and instead of nerfing mechs that are good. Bring the junkyard mechs up to that standard.
Nerfing everything down to the crappiest most inefficient option left is what is happening look at lights now.
Look at the locust now as it is ...it is fine
Then look at it after they get done with it on the 19th
Just look at how this game is run and you will see exactly what I do.
As for the game I like the game I dislike the way it is managed or I should say mismanaged.
I just do not take actual game-play as serious at most anymore I just can not . I play what I want when I want and I do not play the "meta crutch" mechs that so many play and then ***** about it being under powered.
If you want to play this game and have fun do just that do not expect pgi to fix anything that is all I am saying.
If mech packs are pay to win, why was the PXH panned for having shite quirks? Why would they release the Viper, instead of simply pushing the Huntsman? Why have all the unseen mechs been complained about upon release for lackluster quirks? The MAD works simply by virtue of hitboxes, as does the Warhammer, but I have heard plenty of people verbally defecating all over the Archer.
Every single one of the mech packs they have released recently have been whined about as having lackluster quirks. Even the PXH with its absurd engine cap hasn't seen much action at all once the first few days died down.
Stop with the PGI pay to win spiel. It isn't legitimate. I've been called a shill before and you'll likely try that line - go ahead with the ad hominem since reality fails to support your actual argument.
PGI has also screwed the pooch so, so epically hard. I call them out for it too! Look at the Long Tom. Look at the mess with big units in FP phase 3. Look at anything and everything spoken by or otherwise related to Russ. Spawn locations for Alpine, spawn locations for Alpine Domination ten times over. The redone Forest Colony is bad and the redone Frozen city is appallingly, unapologetically utterly fetid, stinking, slimy, rotten garbage!
See? Legitimate things to focus your negative attention upon.
PGI fails hard in many ways, but selling single-mech packs is a *good* idea because you can pick and choose instead of putting down $120 for four mechs only to get the HBR (good) with the GAR (pretty terrible), IFR (I enjoy it but everybody else hates it and you probably do too), and finally the MLX (the name itself is enough). You can pay for shiny camo if you so please. You can pay for more variants (PXH reinforcements were appallingly bad so that's not pay to win either). You can pay for heroes like the Legend Killer (the only Rifleman I never bothered to even finish basics with).
And best of all you can buy the base pack and then wait to see the quirks and such before going for more variants!
You'll probably bring up the Black Knight being castrated via rescale. But guess what? The Grasshopper is now better than ever! So by your logic when the Knight was nerfed the next 75-tonner should have been super-quirked. But the Marauder was unchanged and the *previous* heavy mech from Resistance 1 came out on top. How is that pay to win? Plus with the rescale the Nova and a lot of other mechs that were totally useless are now viable.
As to light mechs, there is little that gives me the willys (spelled properly is censored?) in a heavy let alone an assault as a good Locust, Oxide but JR7 in general, or Raven pilot. To say nothing of the Cheetah - though I don't scare as easily with those as a Locust or Oxide.
Finally, look at the Hunchback. One of the first mechs released is currently one of the strongest IS mediums by quirkage. Same for the Blackjack. Nobody's having to buy those for cash - they may *choose* to, but that is *their own prerogative*. Their choice.
I could go on even further but your argument has been thoroughly eviscerated, so I bid you adieu.

Why do I say this? Whatever mech you buy will not stay the way. So what are you buying it? So you can be a wallet warrior for a month or so. PGI should work on actual balance and fix the mecks that are not used instead of nerfing everything into the ground so they can fill the vacuum with mechs that you have to buy.
relax broseph and let the discussion happen

So no, there's not a lot lot of reason to be buying mech packs right now, aside from the Kodiak.

By that logic no heavy should have ever been implemented after the TBR or med after the Crow. Diversity is a good thing, not everyone want nothing but one easy ride.

Locust IIC would wreck ****. 5 tons heavier than the IS Locust, with a much higher engine cap. Stock 200 rated engine = 280 max, but they'd actually have to cap it around a 245, as any faster would break the 170kph threshold speed tweaked.

Why do you need people to convince you to buy something? Especially when you know it's going to be subpar. There's no way to sell it, it's objectively not good.
The only reason to buy it is if you really want a Linebacker.
