In Development*, but no ETA:

• 6 More Mech Chassis Designs are 100% Finished, awaiting announcement.

Flea, Highlander, Orion, hero flea, hero highlander, hero orion.

Or maybe they mean 3x highlander variants + the hero mech, and 2x hero mechs of another type.

I don't think hero mechs or variants count as chassis.

Too soon. Re-reading the old novels and I forgot how terrifying the Clan Mechs are compared to IS designs.

I'd still take an Atlas over the Dire Wolf. Despite the firepower advantage, it just lacks character, the Atlas is a classic for a reason. I will however, be loading my RS up on salvaged clan tech

The 6 mechs will be clan mechs. I am 100% certain of it. The quesiton is whether they will be IIC versions of what we have or omni mechs or both.

Remember the clans were kicking tail until the ilKhan was killed, there 2 victories, 1 at Wolcott which was a total victory and the Twycross which was a "victory" but more of an organized retreat. So on the DCMS really got any salvage. It was almost a year after the inner spear was it that the Dragoons Gifted 2 Dire Wolfs, and the Field upgrade kits starting getting out. So it was really until 3051 that inner spear started getting Clan tech.

Awaiting announcement means they have not been announced you..... Orion, Flea and Highlander have been "ANNOUNCED." The variants are considered "details" according to developers wording.

Never^TM

Seriously, though, I'm concerned with what little info we have on clantech to date - the only thing I have to console myself is the vain hope that the pathetically slow trickle of content into the game that we've been seeing is due to most assets being diverted toward CW and Clan development, and that the addition of Clan technology will bring with it an update to the Inner Sphere's tech, properly bringing it up to 3050 (whereas now, it's just barely qualifiable as 3025 tech).

But, really, I expect that PGI's just been scrambling to get stuff out the door month-to-month. Really, they only have successful implementation of CW and Clan technology as their remaining ace-in-the-hole. Hopefully they won't be dumb enough to shoot themselves in the foot here.

It's about the OmniMechs, Lebowski.

Dire Wolf Prime, has 50.5tons of pod space for weapons alone. go 54kph, with as much armor as an Atlas and can fire all these weapons with no problems, this is gonna be 1 scary beast. if it alpha strikes your mech probably have seconds to live. my Atlas wont stand a chance against this...

• 4 x ER Large Lasers
  
• 4 x Medium Pulse Lasers
  
• 2 x Ultra Autocannon/5s
  
• 1 x LRM-10

Yeah if I see this thing in the clan invasion (Which if i'm accurate the first wave should be happening in the next month or so) I'm going to **** my pants then proceed behind the biggest building I can and wait for someone else to take its attention.

[Dirkdaring]

Clans?

Dude look at the last month. They can't even get inner sphere weapons balanced.

And you want clan tech?

With a cockpit hit box that puts a catapult to shame, I'll be bottling the clanner tears before the can pop my RT (AC20)

My educated guess, May. Why May? Because they've already stated almost 1 month ago that they have 6 finished UNANNOUNCED battlemechs. Now, add two months that will put us beginning patch of May. That means its completely believable that 8 battlemechs could be UNANNOUNCED and finished. Also, CW's suspected to drop in May. Perfect timing IMO.
