Nope. I think R2-D2 deserves a chance to defend itself on the battlefield =)

I vote that one of the things in the game store should be the infamous hello kitty paint scheme for the Urbie.

I want this more than anything imaginable.

I personally think the Urbie is better suited to being DLC, if they're not releasing all of the 3025'ers in the initial go.

It's kind of a quirky design, and those that love it love it a lot. I'm sure they'd be willing to pay the whatever for piloting R2s' crack-baby.

I will have at least one Urbie in my stable if it's in the game, and I am sure most everyone that's going to be in my Merc group will too.

Give me 1000 Urbies and people brave enough to pilot them, and I will give you victory (or at least the most entertaining defeat in IS history).

They are ugly and useless; stupid looking things that were designed when the game designer was obviously on PCP or meth or something.

They should totally be in the game.

It's a game about excess, at least in part; What's more excessive than a large, walking, steel ********?

i can even use the word ********? you know what i mean, Man part. Ball.

BLASPHEMY! They're finally going to have urban combat! The Urbie was MADE for that :)


the one mech that ever was.

i mean , come on, who the hell ever said that using a mech in urban combat was tactically sound doctrine?
sure.. it might work ingame...as a game mechanic.
but is it realistic? or are we suspending basis reality here ?

simply put, i'll fill a town full of infantry, heavy weapons and armour, sow the whole surrounding area with vibro mines, HECK! i'll even go so far as to fill the sewer system with flamable gas and set it ablaze at some point.
...all you have to do... is take the bait, and walk in.

Where do I sign?! No, not the part to petition against Urby, I want to sign the petition to KEEP Urby in game!

Urban Mech is a unique mech and everyone knows it. Petitioning Urby out of the game might as well petition MadCat, Atlas, Jenner, Stalker, Hunchback out of the game..... not gonna happen.

URBANMECH FOR THE WIN!

I'd pilot a walking AC/10 :)


EDIT:
This thread is now a petition to KEEP the Urbanmech!

Of course we have to keep it - what else are Atlas's to play football with if you get rid of the Urbie?

Its funny how even a thread against Urbies turns into a Urbie love thread before page 2.

Urbies are awesome :)

The Urbanmech is great, if nothing else than for comic relief. It's one of those self deprecating, overweight comedians whose quirks and sincerity actually endear it to pilots. It's the Gabriel Iglesias of Battletech.

Everyone should start MWO with an Urbanmech and it should get a free custom paint scheme. Oh the awesomeness that would ensue

Never!

Urbie there must be. If you vote against the urbie surely the Lord will cut your legs off...

The Urbanmech is the only assault mech I'm interested in piloting.

I refuse to vote against more options in a game, period.
