Despite of "Canadians being good guys", look at around Minute 19.

They are clearly working on the wolverine! Soooo awesome!

19min 44secs to be precise.. thx for this

That (possibly unintentional) sneak peek was cool. Sharp eye OP. The news about Sarah's Mech, or at least the fact that it got IN the news, was cool too.

[Lonestar1771]

They misspelled Bryan's name too.

I hate to break it to you but that is just the Orion colored differently...




Sorry don't know how to resize.... and also sorry if I ruined anyone's day.

Yeah, they showed both of them. First the Orion (woot woot) and then the wolverine....
In the left you can see the same picture posted on sarna. In the right, it seems to me that it was reworked and transformed into a design more silimar to mwo (more mature you could say). It's a 55'er along with the shadow hawk. So to be greedy i'd say that we're gonna get both shadow hawk and wolverine at the same month

Now that's a cool surprise. I'm excited about the Wolverine now as well.

Probably means that when we get further into the Clan Invasion, we might see the Conjurer, which is really a Wolverine IIC

As an old TT player, the med mechs were the bread and butter of a unit. So pleased to see another one of the veteran designs making its way ingame. Hoping for the 2K Shadow Hawk as well, so I can have an ersatz Griffin!

[Dragonkindred]

Nice to see good coverage of Sarah's Jenner in the Canadian news.

Cool sneak peek too. Well spotted.

I'd love a Wolverine and a Griffin for my mech bays.

[Accursed Richards]

I hear it's the best there is at what it does.

why are they still coloring orions at this stage?

alex possibly making the default camo pattern for orion? (since the one in concept is clealry free world)

Is it just possible that the Wolverine would replace the Flea (for now)?

If the engine upgrade doesn't go as planned, the Wolverine seems to have MASC as part of its design. It is possible to replace the Flea with the Wolverine w/o having to change the engine AND debut MASC.

One of the stock designs of the Wolverine has MASC (and also has the weapons we have currently), so I wouldn't look past the possibility.

I think its a leap to say it'll replace the flea in whatever line-up they have planned.

Their artists are probably just leagues ahead of their modelers in mech creation, or they just like to trickle out content thats good to go.

However, I'm excited to see the Wolverine

Wow, another 55 tonner, and this with an autocannon in the arm (here's hoping it can mount an AC20 AND use an XL ).

Finally someone else who sees that AC!

Altough he's got a more evil on it's possibilites. Thankfully, AC/20 won't fit into an articulated arm like that.

[DoubleD]

One of my favorite mediums. Thanks for adding it in

[Odanan]

I suppose it will be one of the last IS mechs to be added before the Clans - surely they will release it just after the Phoenix program is over, or it would take away much money from the Shadow Hawk sells.

I wouldn't rule it out, but consider the fact that we know exactly when the Shadow Hawk debuts to the rest of us.. so releasing the Wolverine now doesn't exactly eat into that... and I don't think $40 is worthwhile to get that early access in the first place (but, that is an option).
