[iminbagdad]

Wait are they releasing the hero before the normal chassis?

Sneaky marketing move, may have to break out some mc

Yes. Bioshock Infinite was a great game. It doesn't do anything new, but what it does do is done extremely well.

Looks kind of silly that it has 6 tubes in the big launcher and 10 in the small one attached to its waist. They got it right on the atlas.

ATM I am going to guess no. the 3 highlander variants we are going to see have JJ but this would be the first Hero with JJ. So I doubt it will have them.

Ofcourse it has jumpjets. Heavy metal has JJ exhaust in the back and shock dampeners in the feet.
Jumpjets are Highlanders signature anyway.

Highlander Burial... that is all.

The main reason I'm not buying Heavy Metal haha. Unless this hero is on a special sale due to it being out before the actual 'mech variants are released, I won't be getting it today.

If PGI lets us play custom music on this mech (hopefully), this is what i would play, with an accompaning white paint scheme:

Compare it with the Artwork - it has DEFINATELY loudspeakers around the cockpit and is pink.
Therefore: CONFIRMED

Painting your fridge in a certain red colour, set it on wheels and paint a black horse on a yellow shield on it's front won't make it a Ferrari!
Judging by descriptions in official publications* Rhonda Snord pilots a Star League-Era stock HGN-732 HIGHLANDER:
15,5 tons of FF-Armor with CASE (1 each in the left and right torso), 1 Gauss Rifle in the right arm, 1 LRM20 in the left torso, 1 SRM6 in the left arm, 2 Medium Lasers in the right torso, a standard GM 270 engine and 3 Jump Jets.
As you can already see the Highlander in the vid carries 3 Medium Lasers in the left arm, which will make it a completely different variant of the Highlander than a stock HGN-732. How much you wanna bet MW:O's "Heavy Metal" configuration differs further? And spare me every "artistical freedom" crap, that's just a poor excuse everytime someone can't get his work properly done!
You may confirm that this HGN is called "Heavy Metal" and it's got a pinkish paint job; but it is in no way Rhonda Snord's Highlander!

* = (of FASA fame; I give a f. about any successor, especially FanPro is known to f.u. the rules set of any good game they got their hands on. Thankfully they retired from development and considered to just run their store!)

I can confirm that the left torso graphics change based on what missile weapons you equip.
As example:

If i equip LRM20 and SRM6 there will be 20 tubes on the larger section of the left torso and small SRM pack on side of the torso. The smaller missile pack goes up to 10 tubes.
