I'm excited to see PGI adding heroes to the missing chassis, but it is heartbreaking to see some choices there.

• Warhawk: Diana Pride's would canonically have jumpjets!!!
  
• Dire Wolf: you skipped the most legendary mech of all time, the Widowmaker?
  
• Timber Wolf: OK, that was not the most piloted mech by Aidan Pryde, but imagine a TW with falcon painting (like the Jade Kite)...

I would like to say that Lauren Did an absolute wonder with the camos.

I will be enjoying the Summoner-M camo especially when we get to see it.

all i want is the missile arm for a splat NVA

So wait...are they $10 to $25 dollars each or is 25$ to including all 4?

Individual prices... all eight are $140.

So, since the art is not final, I would ask if these heros would have special geometry like the invasion versions.

What will be interesting to see is if the addition of these hero mechs for Clans will finally lead to Clan Mastery packs in the near future.

Jeeeesus people.
Complaining that they're cheaper than hero's have been previously?
Complaining that you're getting unique omnipods AND you can still swap them around?
Complaining about which pilot is in which mech, when this has zero in game effect?
Complaining they're underwhelming when they're nothing less than what hero's always are?

No one is making you buy this stuff guys, if you don't want it, move along. Let the people who fund and keep your game alive buy in peace.

No special geometry planned for these Heroes.

That's the plan; lack of Clan Heroes has been the main obstacle toward Clan Mastery Packs.

I'm actually glad they gave us a Aidan Pryde's Summoner considering he almost exclusively piloted a Summoner until his final battle.

Shame that Vlad's T-Wolf wont have a weapon slot in the center torso like in that screen shot, I would spend the extra $20 if it did (already gave PGI a fair amount of real money) Still, it will be satisfying blowing up Vlad's ride in game.

[RabidNinja64]

No quadmechs? pity

Subject orientated; What a waste :/ you can just as easily retrofit any of the stock builds and come to a close similarity, camo your mech and PRETEND your aidan Pryde without dropping a penny :/ If it's opening floodgates for a bigger expansion in terms of gameplay (I.E: kill the leader gametypes or even PvP historic scenario playlists like Tukayyid) then i'm all for it, but just because it has shiny colours? no thanks.

A little sad there's no volume discount, like all 8 for $100 or something...

It worked to get me to buy Wave I and Wave II, you know.

[Shimmering Sword]

Yep, I did just say that
This is a game first and foremost, and this game already has most of the omnipods to make your favorie pilot's mech. If PGI had simply gone with the most famous pilot for each mech, then you'd all be complaining that they're selling you omnipods that are already out for cbills.
Don't whine that you didn't get the lose lose option.

[Big Tin Man]

So now the dakkawolf can achieve its final form with 8 ballistic hard points. 8 uac 2's with 12 tons of ammo is very possible...

[Taffer]

So help me if these don't go for MC later

So the big reveal was ... YAMP?

Mediocre.

I've no objection to mech packs. I'm all for them.

But, as he'd said "not another chassis" I was excites that it would be something more... New. Not heroes for existing chassis.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see clam heroes. Just disappointed that it wasn't something more... New.

They should, all other hero mechs are MC-accessible. As to whether the cash or MC price will be better...

The Wave 1 Clan Hero FAQ covers this. The Heroes will be available for MC starting May 16th 2017, as per the usual MC release schedule.
The MC prices for each are listed in the FAQ as well, in accordance with the standard MC pricing structure for 'Mechs.

Acquiring the Heroes through the web store would be the better value.
