So can we add "Garth'd" as a verb? Like "We just got Garth'd"

Good, I always liked killing Cicada. Now it will be even more fun.
(unless they will make something stupid, OP, P2W with this...)

I can not believe that they would put ECM and missile slots on this - there would be absolute uproar.

Doubt it would have ECM. That appearing on a hero mech would melt the forum servers down.


Cicada without ECM is basically dead already :)

I am somebody who has piloted almost nothing other than a Raven 3L (4X and 2X just to master the damn thing), and if they did this I might actually take it upon myself to learn how to use more than one mech.

Those are missile slots/tubes, just like the ones on the awesomes arms.

The headlights are actuated, so a launcher tube of some kind. I counted 5 total energy points, assuming the green one was also energy.

You mean those little green dots just above the headlights? Those don't look like weapons to me, just details. So that makes 4 energy (LA, RA, LT, RT). There's also a tiny possibility that those headlights are energy ports instead of missile, but they are not ballistic no matter what.

Three (or four) energy hard points (possible fourth on the left arm for symmetry with a (possible) two missile hardpoints? I'd buy it if that were the case. I'd even master the damn thing.

No offense but I really can't believe how dumb some of you are, that, or you just simply don't ever look at your own mechs closely.

Those are 2 missile hard points (2 tubes each), similar to the ones mounted on the Awesomes arm, and it clearly has 4 energy, one on each "arm" and one on each side torso.

Oooh man if it has ECM I am buying the **** out of it, it'll be an armored up Jenner with no JJ's basically.

I can spot 3 energy hard points so far (LT, RT, RA). There's a pretty good chance of there being another energy point in the LA. I dunno what those "headlight" things are, maybe missile ports (1 hardpoint per side torso with 2 tubes each?)? Maybe they might also be laser ports, but they definitely are not ballistic.

Yeah I think there missle points. I may have an interest in this as as straight shooter. 2 srm 4s with 4 med lasers.

Saved me some MC there, *phew*


Yes, it seems like my wallet will not be empty this month. :)

Edit:

On the plus side it should be 3,000 MC, so a flat $15 for most people.

Are we sure they are missile ports? They look more like ramming buffers to me. Kinda in keeping with the whole SUV monster truck camo scheme.
