I'll just leave this here for posterity. Time to start placing your bets!

We assumed he meant american days, but what if he actually meant canadian days? I've heard a single one can last up to 6 months, depending on which part of Canada you're in.

As a canadian I can vouch for this. An average day where I live is 1 month and 5 american days.

Not even "today or tomorrow", since today is the 30th day.

[Colddawg]

there is a huge discussion about this in the http://mwomercs.com/...-announcements/ thread.

Popular possibilities are: Zeus, Victor, or Banshee

Hopefuls are: King Crab, Cyclops

PGI said in Ask The Devs #38 that they don't plan on crit-splitting for quite a while if ever (I don't remember the exact words), so King Crab is out of the question completely.

This is going to get really confusing for the Yanks when your Chinese overlords force the Lunar Zodiac calender on y'all.

Not exactly...

IMO the KingCrab should be an exception to arm rules (rather than fitting rules). Rather than having typical actuators like most armed mechs have (letting them aim up/down, left/right), or having the room for an AC20 but only having up down aiming, IMO the King crab should have only have left/right aiming, and rely on Torso up/down to hit targets above or below it.
Going head to head with a Kingcrab in anything short of 100tons should be a death sentence, BUT use of terrain/JJs to get above or below would turn the tables.

[Monky]

Most likely - banshee

Most desired - Annihilator.

ZnSeventeen: In regards to critical slot splitting, as happens in the King Crab, will you ever consider having different numbers of critical slots in specific mechs as their "quirk." Ex: King Crab gets extra arm crits and fewer torso crits so the problems of slot splitting would be allayed.
A: It’s a very specific TT rule. Right now we’re not looking to add it.

It means no King Crab.

[verybad]

I really don't see the point in another 100 ton mech. another 80-90 would be more interesting IMO. Personally I want a Hakamoto (80 tons) or a Mauler (90 tons) part of that's from the Kurita in me, the Mauler won't happen however. It's a great looking mech, but there aren't enough variants at this time. The Most SUITABLE mech at this time would be a Zeus or Banshee IMO. Steiner really deserves an Assault mech, cause that's what they're about. Banshee is definitely capable of going head to head with an Atlas with it's slower variant, it's also got some faster variants that might be viable in game. Problem is that it kind of looks a lot like an Atlas...

Or it could mean they are going to treat it like the Highlander.

They also said no Coolant. At any point if a King Crab is added or thought about adding it, it equals one thing -> Money Potential

It'll probably be an announcement that the 30 day announcement was that in the next 60 days there will be new mech art announcement.

nah, look what they did with the highlander 733c they just take out the actuator but dont change the look of the arms. However, I think it will be Banshee.

They said no coolant as it appeared in MW4. I love how people gloss over that point when they cry about coolant.

That AMA was an estimate. I doubt we will see announcement for another month or so

Dwight thinks that tomorrow is Saturday. And that's what I'll be working on today.

Tomorrow for Canadians is Friday in the Spring season.
