The only hint you get is that it involves the Hunchback.

-= edit=- NM some one got there 10mins before me

Its a variant Hunchback demonstrating how different variants will be shown on in game models
BK-4P - Also called the Swayback, the 4P Hunchback is modified to carry only energy weapons. The Autocannon/20 was replaced with six additional Medium Lasers. In order to handle the incredibly high heat load, the 'Mech has twenty three heat sinks. While this may seem like a downgrade of the design, the combined firepower of all eight Medium Lasers can do twice as much damage as the Autocannon they replaced. BV (1.0) = 960, BV (2.0) = 1,138

Just go... Commando.

As for comments on the video...


I have work to do, but maybe I'll have a coherent response later tonight. When it's at page 25.

This?

Looking at the image, I'd put my money on the Swayback (6 meds) like Midgie said. I do not see where would the other SRM-6 be and I suppose that 6 missile tubes don't need all that shoulder space.

Edit: Okay, ninja'd by The Artist.

Oops, I gotta pick my jaw up, one sec...

Oh, but now at least I don't have to bribe FD with anything. So, that's good. For me. Not for him...

Ya should've held out a little longer...

I think the Hunchback is this variant:

• HBK-4P - Also called the Swayback, the 4P Hunchback is modified to carry only energy weapons. The Autocannon/20 was replaced with six additional Medium Lasers. In order to handle the incredibly high heat load, the 'Mech has twenty three heat sinks. While this may seem like a downgrade of the design, the combined firepower of all eight Medium Lasers can do twice as much damage as the Autocannon they replaced. BV (1.0) = 960, BV (2.0) = 1,138^[7]

So i'm thinking this is the lead up to some sort of in-game footage of Paul being blown up in the atlas?

At least that is what i'm hoping!

[Dirk Le Daring]

that is an ATLAS video, love the scaling, detail, and ....welll all of it great job on it to the dev team <S>

only problem is i am even more ..... well i want it NOW !!

[Tsen Shang]

So essentially what you're telling us is that refits of mechs look DIFFERENT from the base mech?!

YES!

THANK YOU!

BUT, I am not moderator, so I do not have to.

BUT I do it and I am still pretty oriented, only thing that ruined the beggining for me was the fact I posted about this trailer on other site.

Negative. Easglesham is in East Renfrewshire, just South of Glasgow.

How it got transported to the future is beyond me...but then, if I was that close to to East Kilbride, I'd probably want to leave for 3049 too.

Fair enough.

I already knew it was the laserboat variant, I just didn't want to kill all the fun you guys were having with the guessing.

Did anyone else notice the 'Hula girl' in the bottom right of the cockpit as it pans around (last part of the cockpit image you can catch it)

Cant Wait, looks awesome

Every true mechwarrior must notice it.

The prize is your knowledge that you are better than everyone else
