Blackjack or Rifleman is my guess. Duel mounted weapon arms, no apparent lower or hand actuators, on either side. No defining dish for a thou for Rifleman thou it could have been left off because that would stick out.

So either a Rifleman or Blackjack is my guess for this.

Edit: plus they already released the Commando. The head in the scramble does't look like the Commando they released already.

IMAGE DECODED!!!

Damn them!!! Look closely, it's actually just a chopped up image of a Commando, so attempts to reconstruct it before the countdown finishes will be futile.

The head/visor is in the bottom right, flipped upside down.

The Commando's left arm is a few squares above it. It is actually copied and rotated just to the left of the head square, you can tell because of an identical grey fragment by the tip of the lasers in both squares.

The easily-identifiable hip section is in the column to the left of the head square, and all the way up.

The only thin I can't explain is all the yellow shapes in the image, but it kinda looks like the drop harness on the Atlas in the background of the Artemis site.

Just my thoughts, but maybe they're releasing more info on how drops are going to work?

Leaving aside the missile system reference, Artemis was, IIRC, the greek godDESS of the hunt. Associated with the moon.

Make of that what you will.

If you think about it, it could be a tranmission from a wold attacked by the clans and the fuzzed up pic could be a clan mech?

I'm afraid the fuzzy image highlighted is just the stock damaged atlas from the typical background 'mech release image.

I'm really hoping this image shows a Warhammer under the commando bits when decrypted.

(seeing a tank'd be an interesting turn of events though!)

What assault has a double barreled arm? Looks like there's one in the right side.




Cheers.
Its not a mech... at least the mixed up pieces are not a new mech. Its just pieces from other concept art. Once its all taken away, there may be a new mech behind and if they are going in order it should be an Assault mech... unless we get the Assault in the next day or 2 and whatever this is, may be something of a surprise like an unveil of a first UNSEEN.

It's actually a picture of e3 swag. Everyone gets one of these at the booth, but of a mech.

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.



The scary thing to me is that it can be built using mixed-tech.
