But... but... but it was the light's turn for a hero mech. Why do the assault mechs get two in a row? *stopms away from the sandbox*

Lights already got the cicada hero.

Edit and death knell now i think about it

and the jenner is a founders mech so likely wont get a hero and the raven is OP and can DIAF

Pseudo light, but I can see what you mean.

You mean the Death's Knell...

Cicada is a medium, but by that token then it should have been a trebuchet.

Also, only the Raven-3L is anywhere close to OP (which it really isn't now that you can hit it with weapons). A hero version would be a different variant (and probably wouldn't even have ECM).

More than anything I would want to see a hero spider (missiles maybe?), but maybe they were planning a hero flea, thus the break in rotation.

I forgot about the spider tbh.

I dont think they'll do a hero raven anytime soon because it'll either get no use at all if like the 2 useless varients or it'll totally flood the game for a couple of weeks if its better than the 3L and a lot of people will go on a 2 week hiatus.

As for the spider, its probably hard for them to come up with something worthwhile and unique when they're limited to like 4 hardpoints, with energy being the only ones that are really usable.

Apart form the fact that a founders mech is very little like a hero mech.They will prolly be last on the list though.

This thing looks badass!

I can't wait for the rage threads!

[Lege]

Unless they put jump jets or ECM on it, I probably won't bother. 4LL + Gauss on the RS is better otherwise.

4PPCs I'd believe. 4ERPPCs + Gauss (and the small amount of space left for heat sinks) is going to cook the pilot alive.

Never stopped any of the 6 PPC boaters.

For hero mechs:

Lights have the death's knell
Mediums have the wang and x-5
Heavies have the ilya, fang, and flame
Assaults have the pretty baby, heavy metal, and now the misery

So ya, where's the light heroes?

[mekabuser]

this will be their best selling hero.
Consequently will have to make, how to kill a stalker thread.
The battle damage is beautiful.

I'd think the Stalker's weaknesses are well known - being an Assault with poor torso twist and no elbows. Still, I'm sure there'll be demand for a thread like that.

[jakucha]

Make battle damage "paint" available for all mechs, it looks neat.

Not 150. Closer to 250XL.

See? I left out the 15 tons for Gauss and 3 tons of Gauss ammo. There is enough space as well.

Stalker with an XL engine?

[Raalic]

Looks like Bullet Bill with legs. I'm down.

[Dyson Ring]

If we go by just the visible hardpoints (there may be missile hardpoints in the arms), Misery will only have 7 hardpoints.

That's 3 less than all the other Stalkers. If there's missiles in the arms under the covers, 1 less.

Giving up up to 3 hardpoints to get a ballistic hardpoint may or may not be an appropriate tradeoff, but we'll have to see how it all pans out after it get released.

i see this as pgi cashing in on the meta, i don't care what they're doing this month, this mech right here is my new can of worms to open.

Yes.

But of course, Misery loves company.

J. Elliot Jamison, commander of Wolf's Dragoons' Zeta Battalion piloted a Stalker for most of his career, serving with distinction during the Battle of Misery and the Fourth Succession War. ^[10]


Battlemechs
For most of his career, Jamison was a renowned Stalker pilot. ^[4] After the reorganization of the Dragoons in 3055, it was strongly indicated that the Colonel upgraded his machine to a Clan Omnimech along with the rest of the unit, though the exact 'mech he used at this point was unknown. <sup>[13]

OMNIMECH?</sup>

Thanks for re-posting this, it would have been nice if PGI posted the lore, but, to be fair, they usually do it when the mech is released.
