I signed up...no info yet.

Also, to tie in with today's other ISN update... I don't have my TROs handy.. but, didn't the Orion (or a variant) also use the Artemis IV FCS?


The ON2-M upgrade does.

Definitely a new mech. But which one?!?!?

@Mal: I don't know. Would be a break to their pattern of mech reveals so far. Most people think the next reveal will be an assault class.

So..maybe we are getting a new 'Mech (The Orion)..and a gameplay footage video showing the Artemis FCS being used by a lance to obliterate the opposition?

I had some friends down at the NSA run this through their SW and enhance the image. What you will see here might very well change the course of inner-sphere history as we know it!

Previous users are correct, it is simply a scrambled picture of the commando. The code name "Artemis" is a guidance system that makes LRMS more accurate, a somewhat vague description for the website.

The countdown seems likely to corroborate with E3.

What? 'Tis highly unlikely they would be revealing a revealed Mech, especially since the features don't align... the Commando does not have dual gun ports, the same pelvis, or "head" as depicted in the scrambled image.
But, I could be totally wrong and it might be a mash-up.. but there's no reason to release a scrambled image of released Mechs for E3.

EDIT: If you haven't done it yet, look above here and check the SPOILER...

Since it's pretty well established the scrambled image is released concept art, and the timer goes to E3, it's most likely going to be the E3 Trailer. I know GTA V put up something like this, just a countdown under a blank video player shaped box... Even so any more vids will be worth seeing!

@C0VVB3LL, hahahahah, brilliant!

Having looked at the arms as others have I suppose those could be hands next to the gun barrels.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. The scrambled boxes are random sections of all the released 'mechs so far. Either way, I've signed up and I'm just going to go about my normal business.

I bet dollars to donuts it's a Crockett. It's a 85 ton assault mech with JJ's (don't have one of those yet) and it has long thinnish arms. I've been looking at the scrambled image and you can see a foot and part of a leg, and something that resembles a torso with long shapes extending from the sides.


It's helps if you kinda blur yer vision by goin cross eyed. :unsure:

Honestly, the crotch region doesn't seem to match any of the currently known mechs, so that actually seems to be a legit part of the new mech, or simply not the pelvis of a mech.

Wether or not this has been posted, I don't know: But, I see the Med. Las. of the Commando, the Commando's head, a Centurion's Middle Torso and AC, along with a Catapult foot.
Wether this is just filler to hide a new image, or a full view of all the 'mechs thus far in one image, I do not know.
