Thank you!

[StandingCow]

Yea, I bet they are having to work on clan mechs as well as the newly announced mechs.

[Gozer]

Fun read. From your keyboard to the Devs eyes.

[UnseenFury]

They will torture us hence there will be NO Timber Wolf in this first 4 Clan mechs.

Prosperity Park is a ROM agent? What a plot twist, I totally did not see that coming.

Not new. S.A.F.E. discovered this when they onlined their new douche detectors.

He was lured by their mystic ways and the promises of riches, fame, and women awhile back. But before that time he was a proud mercenary and the premier man for conspiracy theories in the Inner Sphere. We worked long and hard to uncover the treachery of Comstar, Nubnub, and the Closed Beta. They were trying times, with redactions appearing at every corner and turn as Paul censored our every move while still submitting garbled intelligence across open comms. This was an intelligence war not seen since the Shadow War of '39.

But now Comstar has cemented its power, and rules with an iron fist. And they took one of our finest men. In fact the entire Deaths Hand Brigade may be a proxy field unit for these intelligence fascists!

It's why I have returned to do battle and retake the Inner Sphere from treachery

They have been gathering up people for pre-patch testing; essentially beta beta testers. I do not know if they have signed NDAs or not, but they are advanced testers for unreleased material.

And we're a month or two out from the Clan Invasion. We may have lost ISN because the HPG network is down. All I know is that my Ghost Bear brethren are coming to rescue me from this hellhole they sent me to recon. At least the Federated Commonwealth have respect, unlike the Draconis or the Cappelans, and have common sense, unlike the Lyrans. I have not ventured into the "Free Republic" or whatever, it is protected by Draconis and Lyrans, so I assume it's a disrespectful place where military commands consider assault mechs scouts, and light mechs battle armor.

Anywho, I think the OP is right. It's extremely unlikely that the graphic designers would be laid off or transferred into other areas, so it's likely that we'll have an unlocked storm of mechs. My prediction for BattleMech 20? Probably Victor, with Zeus and Wolfhound also getting my support. 20 IS mechs, 4+ Clan mechs, likely omnis although they could also be IICs, such as the Hunchback IIC and Orion IIC, which in turn means less programming from scratch, as these have near-identical bodyshapes to IS mechs. I didn't know about the rest, but I noticed the ISN blackout over this past week, and I've been getting suspicious myself.

I think thats beutiful and in keeping with the MWO style. Can you make a urbanmech out of Jagermech please!!

[TheFlyingScotsman]

BattleMech 20, the grand, unrevealed masterpiece that will rock the foundation of MWO to the core, and set a fire to our tactics and gameplay for all time.

Wait for it...

Almost there...

URBANMECH!

What? A gal can dream, can't she?

[Enig]

If I don't see a clan mech soon, I'm going to lose my ****.

[PoLaR]

I think this scenario would be cool for how the Clans could be dropped on us...

You start a match with your friends.. you start battling the enemy, when all of a sudden!!...

8 drop pods fall from the sky and 8 Clan Mechs step out, containing all Dev pilots, and then they destroy all the IS pilots.

[Elizander]

Oh no you don't! Stop building up your mountain of hype! Mech #20 is definitely going to be an Unseen.
