If you look carefully there are two twin barrelled arms, claw feet and boxy structures....possibly a clan mech of some sort but what?

Warhawk?

[Goldfish]

what if the whole closed beta thing was a joke and in 5 days it will be the open beta?

[WM HellRider]

its a cyclops by my estimate, look near the bottom right, u see a red eye staring u down

[PainGod30]

Well I'm gonna say the current image won't be the same image we see when the timer runs out. So I'm gonna take a guess of the most random mech possible and say it'll be a nightstar. Close to a Marauder to appease the the unseen club, far enough from a marauder to not get a lawsuit, fits the time period because they had come back into production and became popular within the Fedcom, and it's 95 tons so it's an assault. Seeing as how they want to throw random mechs at us like the cicada I figured I would be ahead of the curve lol!

Pfft. You guys done been trolled.

It's clearly a map to the Artemis (Greek) restaurant PGI have started by embezzling investor funds.

Thanatos?

The more i look at it the more it looks like it is a new mech. A Mad Dog/Vulture to be exact, but that can't be right since it's a clan mech.
Do you know any other mechs that have double gunbarrels on both arms?

Rifleman?

Interestingly enough, I found this on the FB page of one of the TT's PTB. It's purported to be the true image of today's Artemis message.




After seeing the thread that this image generated, I'm genuinely afraid now...

Clan Sex Panther is on the loose.

What... In the hell... Did you do...

[neodym]

I find it funny that people think its Annihilator or Cyclops when even my grandmother could recognize its just Commando

[ManDaisy]

I think its a picture of an orion with some of the commando mixed in.

In this thread, http://mwomercs.com/...g-down-artemis/ the OP breaks down some of the images used in this particular puzzle. Bits and pieces of a Catapult, a Dragon, Commando, and Centurion. Please notice, this puzzle is called Artemis. Every one of these 'Mechs carries missiles. As we all know, there is a piece of equipment in the Battletech universe known as the Artemis IV Fire Control System (FCS). What does this mean? Either we'll get different types of ammunition for missiles, or PGI is messing with us for no other reason than to keep people from asking about Clan 'Mechs. Not that it has worked. Just my two C-Bills.

[ManDaisy]

don't forget the orion thats in there.

I didn't do anything, I wasn't joking when I said I found this on the Battletech Line Developer's FB page. The sad part is that if you build this thing as a 150 ton `Mech with a 300 rated engine, it can actually be built.

Plus, it's not like this is the first time that a 100+ ton design has came out. The original 100+ tonner was the grandfather of the Clan Tech Stone Rhino / Behemoth.

Also, it's not like this is the first frankenmech. Even MWO has used one of these (Cataphract), so I think we really may be looking at the first 100+ ton `Mech in the game. By my count, I see a PPC, an AC of some sort, an LRM 15, 8 Medium Lasers, 9 SRM-6s and 2 Machine Guns as well as a hatchet.

Want to get really nasty? That hatchet already does 30 points of damage per hit, so let's put Triple Strength Myomers on it and up the damage even more.

Now, who wants to pilot one of these bad boys?

[faithless]

[Vampyr]

I would love it if they revealed a whole set of Unseen mechs when the countdown ends.

Hatchet also auto internal damage. Tho I like maces better

Actually the hatchet doesn't do automatic internal damage, it does damage just like a normal attack.

ok so if we are going missile mech as it does seem that way, look up the definition for REDACTED...re·dact (r -d kt ). tr.v. re·dact·ed, re·dact·ing, re·dacts. 1. To draw up or frame (a proclamation, for example). 2. To make ready for publication; edit or revise.

What about the Warhammer as in the unseen (reseen)

Im getting kind of tired but, the numbers 13 37 43 137 followed by the mention of Comstar reminds me of something...

Arent Comstar Religious people ? How about we look at Mathiew 13:37-43 and Psalm 137 quickly ? Artemis also a Godess afterall, right ?

Spoiler

Matthew 13:37-43

New International Version (NIV)
³⁷ He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. ³⁸ The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, ³⁹ and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
⁴⁰ “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. ⁴² They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

Spoiler

Psalm 137

¹ By the rivers of Babylon—
there we sat down and there we wept
when we remembered Zion.
² On the willows^*
Happy shall they be who pay you back
what you have done to us!
⁹ Happy shall they be who take your little ones
and dash them against the rock!

So I either need some councelling sleep or this could be interpreted as the arrival of the Clan...

I'm spoiling the joke, but that looks like 'leet' writing to me, and while I can't write in leet, given a few moments (well, minutes ) I can read it.

133743137 would translate directly as "leet for elet" = leet for elite.


Unfortunately, if i can read leet then to many people can for it to be used to successfully 'hide' a message.

Maybe they should try something different^ next time?


^ am I a bad person because evey time I see an aerodyne dropship I think of those movies?
