I was wondering what mech is that to the right in the canyon pic.....

[Lokust Davion]

thats not a mech thats a structure/building...

[Shadow Beast]

The mech in the middle is another story, it doesn't match any of the current mechs in the game. Given the outline I think it might be a Dire Wolf.

[DocBach]

looks like a cataphract

[Tennex]

the one on the right is a building

[Onmyoudo]

You can see another one of the structures in the background that has legs that match the part on the right, and can see parts of the aerial/tower going up. The mech in the middle is a Cataphract.

ITS agreeded......ITS URBANMECH (just gimme false hope)

Urbanmech is protecting the rail roads..........and he has uav balloons floating above him......

Buildings are rectangular.......Urbanmechs can be round.......so its prob a urbanmech.

Look people you know if you hold down your control button and move the mouse wheel you can zoom in and out of an image....helps too when you need to read tiny words.

Well what I did is zoom into the Urbanmech.......and after using very powerful program(paint) to enhance the image......its quite clear..... That is an URBANMECH and he's about to shoot that cataphract!

So turns out the data contained what happened. (3 second rule)

So using very powerful programs (paint) We extracted the frames of the next 3 seconds.

At a glance it appears urbie would be a gimmick, But after running some spider and raven urbanmech clones which attempt a urbanmech loadout it turns out its suprisingly effective. At the moment the spider 5k urbanmech clone is my favorite mech. Having urbanmech would be a way better mech. When I fight with a spider i've gone toe to toe brawls even vs assault mechs and come out winning.

Now I did some comparison I looked at a MW4 dragon the combine armor for its center torso and rear was an 84 here in MWO its 80. I looked up an urbanmech in MW4 and its combine center torso and rear was 63, which would prob place urbie around a 59 at worst center torso here. Now I like the spider that shares same weight as urbanmech and its 40 armor total.......but with urbanmech 59-60ish armor I would be a beast. Coupled with urbanmech has a 360deg torso twist means he can always face his target, so I can devote more to the front torso and he comes with more jump jets.

Now your going to see a greater advantage as the meta game changes. For example in a drop ship mode where you might be given a limit based on tonnage. I rather have 3 urbanmechs then one atlas. or if its done by cost vs atlas As7-d I rather have 6 urbanmechs.

Now from my experience there is a good skill to learn in urbanmechs you learn to take cover, every map has great cover, when you fight urbanmech your not just fighting him you fight his cover too.

Finally this is the beutiful part is all these urbie clones merely attempt to recreate a stock urbie, Who fights with stock mechs? That means when I get a Urbanmech he's going to get souped up, endo, engines, ammo, armor.... This mech is a killer. the aura of underestimation comes from judgement of slow speed or from a TT's pov.

Every mech brings something to the table, some have speed, some lots of firepower, Everything that a mech doesn't have adds to the best weapon of all, a dangerous pilot.

It's a space station

It was my kite

[Oppresor]

Its a hard one. It looks to compact to be an Atlas, so I would tend to go with DocBach on this one: Cataphract

Is that a guitar in that picture?
