I noticed that the MechWarrior 2 intro video features a Clan pilot saying things like "I'm in bad shape!" and "He's got a lock on me!"

Guess that's one reason why the games aren't considered canon.

Hold on wait what? Am I missing something?

Clanners don't (erm, 'do not') use contractions. One of those goofy little things that I can't stand about them.

Yet they use words like Quiaff, and Quineg. Which mean Question Affirmative, and Question Negative respectively. Used when they expect the reply to be an "affirmative" or a "negative".

Silly clanners.

Many freeborn Clansmen use contractions, the best example here is Horse from the Jade phoenix books.

Trueborns also use them to show anger or frustration.

The emblem looks merc

His computers down, his leg and arm are damaged = he's in bad shape. It's got a lock me = the enemy mech is gonna kill him in his damaged state

What so hard about this?

As he is about to die, I think we can forgive him for using bad language.

I went through the 905 Battletech logos I have on file and did not find any that match the logo on the side of the Timberwolf in that intro clip. Of the 10 logos I have with any type of skull on them, 7 are Mercs (8th Orloff Grenadiers, Grave Walkers, Grey Death Legion, Hansen's Rough Riders, McGee's Cutthroats, Larsen's Loners, Narhal's Raiders), 1 is a Freeworld's League unit (2nd Free World's Legionnaires: The Stygians), 1 is a periphery region logo (Circinus Federation), and the last is the logo for Helmar Valasek's pirate world Santander V.

*edit for typo.

I didn't go that far looking for icons decals......It could've been a small no name merc unit but im pretty sure it was merc....

[thelasttrueborn]

905 logos? Really?

[Orzorn]

Its still the best damn intro that any of the games have had. It oozes awesomesauce.

Great with fries.

[RL Nice]

I'm going to have to re-play the tutorial missions to see if the instructor used contractions, too.
