I think 20,000 tons is a typo. It should be 200,000 tons. It is used to deploy dropships into low orbit.

That's a Mad Cat foot?

Actually Titans are specific class of vehicle as in a Warlord Titan, Warhound Titan or the Reaver Titan

Eldar have titans too. So do the tyranids. The largest scale of chaos demons are vehicles are also referred to as titans. Ork gargants are reffered to as Titans by the imperium, and they're the only thing that even has a different name.

Titan(Super Heavy) class Mechs are from 110 tons to 200 tons they are "experimental tech" During the Ji had.

That would be a step backward, even for them. They should just hire FD instead.

Not like he's a stranger to Wh40k considering the use of dakka on the Jaggermech and this:

I find the arbitrary 100 ton ceiling in BT lore so silly.

I was making these back ten years ago. Dave McCulloch made these rules for "House Rules". I see some features were added to the original draft I have in a storage device somewhere.

Could it be perhaps the April Fools joke is that this ISN'T a joke!?!?!

My money's on this.

I'd actually kind of enjoy an "8 or 12 human players vs 1 CPU controlled Titan" mode. Kind of like the Patriarch fight in Killing Floor

[Inkarnus]

just putting this here it is said that a space marine is around 8 feet tall in armor
so probably they put here a reaver or max warlord class titan here
btw is that a Flea foot ?

I am so mad! MWO have announced Titan Class mechs on their facebook! I am taking my money elsewhere....

I for one welcome our new titanic overlords.

PGI went way overboard with April Fool's, this year. Gotta be subtler with these things. A simple "Battlemech #20: Urbanmech" would have done the trick.

[Applecrow]

Yes but can it mount an AC/20 in the arms?

[Infernus1986]

Its a cent foot btw

Regardless of it being an april fools joke, that foot does not look familiar....

Quick. Everyone take pictures of all the mech feet we have!

Nope... That clearly doesn't look like anything we have now. Since its rendered in engine its highly probable in my opinion that its a foot from some new mech, otherwise why go to the bother and expense of modeling it unless you can use it for something.

That would have had people crying blood once they found it was a joke. Better to be over the top.

[PoLaR]

I **** my pants for about 23 seconds.

[PappySmurf]

LOOK FAMILIAR? This is not something new Mektek tried this same thing the mechs ended up being one shot wonders for NHUA matches on there sever where im sure Russ and Brian gained there experience in MechWarrior from what I have seen of the beta I would almost say some in PGI are from the old Mektek staff itself.
