Urbie because they are funny

Its time to unleash the Trash Can!

[Kanatta Jing]

Urbanmech. Slower then an Atlas with 8 ballistic points in the one arm and a torso twist like a Cat.

[Phoenix Branson]

360 degree torso twist ftw!

I think that the reason that I want the Urbie besides that its a different style of light mech is something a little more symbolic.

The urbanmech is an underdog, with no advantage in this world other then the tenacity it would require to be successful with one. Could it be done? absolutely. Its totally possible to succeed with this mech, but to do this its not going to be like running around with an AC40 jager, those guys can take a foot at a time of the battle with an easy stride. I did this sort of thing with a quad AC5 JM6-DD.

The urbanmech on the other hand, its slower then my jagers all are. It has less firepower, it has less armor, it has less everything.

But why would I want to play it? Because with a mech like that you have to fight your head off to take an inch, you won't have that inch handed to you, you are going to have to really think hard about how you are going to win those inches. But when you do, I promise with a mech like this you will enjoy fighting for those inches, and make the fight for those little inches easier will be much more rewarding. The reward will be greatly in the effort, in the small victories.

And surprising people in the process.

That is why I want to play the urbanmech.

Petitions are not allowed and Un Mechwarrior like.

....All we are sayin'.... is give Urbie a chance....

Wow, with so many fans voting for it I think PGI should give it a shot.

[General Taskeen]

PGI should apologize about the UrbanMech joke, in the way EA had to apologize about their lame April 1st joke.

[FinnMcKool]

The April Fools tease was very bitter, worse than the cockpit item

[Bhael Fire]

If it was as small as the locust (or smaller), had an ultra-fast 360-degree torso twist and an uber small CT hitbox, it could be viable in this game.

In fact, it could probably be better than the locust.

[Ovion]

I love lights.
I love locusts.
I reckon I could have fun with this despite the slow speed.
(Tabletop is a different matter again xD).

But it's one of those things, those ideas that a community just gets behind and that almost everyone will buy.
Why aren't we funding this?

[Dark Jackal]
