It seems to have 5, which will most likely weight 2 tons each.

I'm sure that are 5 subwoofer.
The power of them is so high........you can blast a light mech in pieces with the basswave.

So how much is the thing? Hard to answer without the cost shown.

I'm fairly certain they will allow you to change the colors of hero mechs when the Heavy Metal is released, otherwise it would be a huge blunder on their part given that the majority of the players are males.


Hey now! Half of my mechs are pink.

I will buy it, most definitely.
Been waiting for a good Assault hero mech (PB can go sit in the corner and cry like the red-headed step-child it is) to spend some more of my Founder's MC.

And we either laugh at you Mister... or shake our head and think "why? dear god why? my EYES!"... mind you I've seen some bad paint jobs but they now seem to have disappeared courtesy of elo.

Myself I'm 50/50 on this mech and whether to grab it... it depends what else comes in the patch, and what exactly can be shoved into the chassis... ultimate Cataphract Poptart replacement!

If they stick to the current MC per ton it would be 6750 MC or around $35.

$40 for one mech is just insane.

However, I would buy it if it was available for $20.

Yep, will purchase. I wish it could be obtained for a single $30 pack, but that doesn't seem likely. If I know a few days in advance that it's going to be released, I'll set aside money from a paycheck for it. Otherwise I'll just grab it on payday.

No chance I'll buy this one until after all of the variants are released and I hear feedback on its quirks. One Pretty Baby is enough for me.

2500 would be appropriate, but I still won't buy it, I don't like the colours

Even after they allow hero mechs to change colors? It's coming you know.

I voted "yes" but I do not think I will buy it the day it comes out, however I do plan to buy it before I get the other highlanders. I simply have to wait for all my other monthly bills to be paid and make the deposit on the new house first. Despite my strenuous arguments my wife insists that that new house is more important than the Highlander Hero mech, so I have to wait.

BLASPHEMY, but such is married life. At least I still get my toys.

Without women we would all be living in an apartment filled with **** we never use and empty beers.
We would be happy though.

I have some MC lying around, and I do have a weak spot for the Highlander mech. However, I am also terribly allergic to pink, so unless I can change the color I am forced to let this one go.

As for anyone in a pink 'mech trying to take advantage of my allergy, the first symptom is insane berserker rage and a willingness to take any and all action needed to blot out the cause!!!

But it is still going to cost like 6000 MCs and I am saving those for the Daishi Hero

I am not really into the Highlander. I am a medium / heavy mech pilot by choice. I also refuse to own a PINK mech.

I guess it doesn't worry anyone that based on what we can actually see, this looks like a 90-ton Fang with a second missile hardpoint? Very few hero mechs have had more hardpoints than what you see on the surface.
