. honestly forgot about the Devastator, it has 2 variants that are similar, so I would be surprised this mech would even be considered. prefer the Banshee because it can go 64kph in stock config. we could use a fast 95ton Hunter/Killer...

Looks like they're going for a mech for each 5 ton milestone, from 20 to 100 tons. So I'm guessing Banshee.

That said, I wonder why there are no 55 tonners announced yet?

No. We'll have the 4th 50ton mech soon in the Blackjack, so clearly not the case.

This does make me hopeful it won't be the Banshee. Given the other options, a 95 ton Atlas with no arm lasers isn't something the game needs desperately.

The 55 mech slot is pretty slim pickings, the Dervish, Hoplite, and Kintaro is all there is to chose from, and of those only the Dervish is really firmly in the time line. Possibly the Kintaro if they are including the Comstar mechs.

The reason this game will never go out of beta is because if it fails they can say well it was (ONLY IN BETA)---> The Papernator--->

They always change some hardpoints to make these variants unique. The Devastator has atleast 3 variants anyhow.

How about the Annihilator?, how about the Dire Wolf? etc etc etc. It's inevitable that there will be some mechs with powerfull configurations.

a cyclops would be a easy headshot

the head of the cyclops isnt the actual cockpit. its the sensor array. iirc the cockpit sits directly under the head inside the torso.

Yes! The light mech with the heart of a heavy. You may core out his center torso, but you will never core out his spirit!

And the jump jets.

Late returning to the thread, but I thought about the jump jets on the Victor and decided against it because the Highlander is going to have jump jets when it comes out.
I'd like to see the King Crab and Crab come out at the same time as a packaged super-update or something, but the King Crab takes advantage of some of the more obscure hard point rules from TT in order to fit AC/20s and actuators in the arms, as previously discussed in depth in a Crab discussion a couple of weeks ago. I'd really like the Crab even though the Crab is yet another 50 tonner and I'm going against my previously stated stance on too many 50 tonners. I just want that torso jutting out ahead of me like the hood on a muscle car.


This looked more awesome when I was a teenager.
