They said they were putting it off for a "cycle" and we've had 3 mechs since (QD, Vic, Kintaro), people love it and want it, and the dang thing is just iconic..

...also it's 4PM on a Friday and I don't want to work anymore.

[GingerBang]

I'm sure they will do some huge stunt about it, and then **** everyone off when they reveal another mech that's as tall, if not taller than an awesome.

Really, i can't use the slang word for "urine" but i can say crap? This chat filter is terrible.

Unless they bring something like the Marauder(will not happen), the Orion is the best choice for release mech.

I am so with you on that one......

[Tennex]

i was thinking a light mech since we only have 4 in game, and 5-6 of all other weight classes.

but i listened to the podcast recently and garth said he had no knowledge of a coming light mech. so chances are very high its going to be Orion.

[WVAnonymous]

I fully support this speculation.

[Belorion]

I have been speculating this for a while. Orion launch mech with the hero in on launch day (Kerensky's Orion perhaps).

[Sybreed]

I called it last week bro

[Urdnot Mau]

Well... next class should be a heavy, but PGI is not famous for following the cycle. I was thinking it would be a light mech too. A surprise one, kintaro style. The truth is a really want an Orion and i really hope the next mech we'll get will be the Orion

Death By Orion !

I don't doubt it, it's pretty much a no brainier.

[Deathlike]

There will be a hero Orion in the works.

Don't you worry. PGI is already on the case.

Best choice would be the warhammer, not the zentradi comand pod

I hadn't thought about this possibility, but you might be right

[Mr Blonde]

I still lobby for a surprise King Crab. Never been an Orion guy, I consider it just average with a cool name. As far as a light being in the works, I believe the Flea is coming, and of course the Locust. Realistically, there's only so much you can do with the lights, the opportunities for different combos are much more limited than in the bigger mechs. So, probably not a huge deal in the end. Of course as a longtime BT player I want to see as many as possible, but I want CW far more.

As long as it's Kerensky's Orion I will be throwing my MC at PGI.

I remember Sean Lang saying "I will literally throw money at you !" to some PGI guy (maybe Russ) when they were talking about unseen at MWO lol .. I wonder if he really did that.
An Orion Hero is the only one i feel is a MUST. The mech looks so cool and a 75er might feel just perfect to pilot.

[Lord Ikka]

Probably will be the Orion for launch. Maybe, if we're all good boys and girls, we'll get two  :0

[A Man In A Can]

Yup. Orion goes on the yearbook for Most Likely to be Implemented in September.

Now as for the Flea....it's MIA until maybe next year.

[Alex Warden]

my personal opinion on the flea: they can just trash it... we´ll get the locust in october, which is a much better choise ( and just looks great).

Orion? possible, would fit the schedule...kerensky hero? hm...hard to resist,but i´d probably wait for a sale

[Takony]

Maybe. But if those arms are hung to low or the mech is too tall or the hitboxes too borked, it will just be a mini atlas without ecm. If the size and hitboxes are fine, we must see how agile is this thing with elites unlocked, if it really is the brawler all hope it would be. Sadly my bet is that it will just combine the worst quirks from the Awesome - too wide, the Jager - too wide ST, and the other humanoid mechs - dirt shooting arms. I'm secretly hoping PGI proves me wrong but ...

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.



You think some of us want Flea for some insane reasons, like....I don't know...variety possibly?
Just cause you won't use it doesn't render it useless
