It's the second time the light to assault circle is broken and no new Light is published.

That's just disappointing.


We know we at least get the Locust in October.

it looks like a mini victor.... just like the quickdraw looks like a teenage atlas/commando

i might have to trade off my treb for one of these... 5 tons makes a big difference

theoretically this is not a bad looking mech, however theoretically I would have preferred the dervish...theoretically.

Given the following the Dervish has, I am sure we will see it eventually.

Shadow Hawk, Wolverine, now Kintaro? They are really digging the 55 tons bracket...

(I would actually prefer the Dervish over the Kintaro)

The Dervish would completely outclass the Trebuchet.

This is why I think they went with the Kintaro more than the Dervish, this way the Treb still has it's place with speed and jumpjets.

Kintaro completely outclasses Trebuchet, too.

this artwork makes the mech look REALLY thin and probably going to be tough to hit. unless the scale is misleading and the mech ends up being super tall and big overall, it will probably be just as good a zombie as the centurion. you also have your choice if you want to zombie SRMs or medium lasers just like the extremely successful centurion. apparently it can also go just as fast.

No, because the Treb has jumpjets.

That makes a huge difference, specially when you clock on some speed.

Add the Griffin and that would make 4 mechs in the 55 tons bracket.

Why do people want more lights, honestly?

PGI is terrible for embracing people's curiosities... in some ways you're supposed to encourage it, instead of discouraging it (people do not necessarily have anything negative to say about things they were expecting in the near future).. it's not like a PGI balance post™.

Sometimes I think PGI kills the fun in finding out cool and different things. Go figure.

Also, this means that the Flea is on sabbatical.
