So that makes

6 Heavy Heroes (Fang, Flame, Jester, Firebrand, Ilya, Protector) out of 7 available chassis,
5 Assault Heroes (Pretty Baby, Dragon Slayer, Misery, Heavy Metal, Boar's Head) out of 6,
3 Medium Heroes (X-5, Yen-Lo Wang, Golden Boy) out of 7,

and
1 Light Hero (Death's Knell) out of 5.

Any one else thinking a light (or even a medium) hero is way, way overdue?

How much does an Heavy/assault mech hero cost in MC?

How much does an Light and medium hero mech cost in MC?



need i to say more???

Cats are my favorites, but I was a bit disappointed to see this. The cats are primarily LRM mechs, and yet this mech follows the lead of the atypical "K" variants. If it has good weapon hardpoints and JJs, it will be fine, but I guess I was hoping for a missile variant (at least some missiles). I suppose there is little variation possible with the missile loadouts that is not already available with the other variants (without being P2W).

As for the cammo, at first I thought "this is awful!" but then I noticed that it looks like a cheshire cat, and on second look I actually like it! Will be looking forward to seeing what it has to offer.

The point is +30% CB, of course. Like every other Hero in the game.


Lights don't make money. 30% bonus is wasted on them. Same with mediums.

Really?

That's in a COM-TDK.

It's all relative anyway; your median CB-income in your Fatlas + 30% or my median CB-income in my 'mando + 30%. Either way it's 30% more and we could use some Hero lights and mediums for those that prefer playing lights and mediums.

Okay, they've got heroes for the Atlas and the 'Pult now...where's my Hero Hunchback???

I wants a ballistics-centered Hero Hunchie! :)

On The Jester...I'm guessing PPCs with significant energy slots. I don't believe that the K2's have jump jet capabilities, so jets on The Jester might be a good Hero quirk too. That's all pure speculation on my part though...


I would love to see a hero Hunchback. Specifically with this kind of build. The only exception would be that there would be an AC5 in each side torso and not both in one. Similar to the 4SP. PGI would have my money super fast with that.

That statement would be an insult to the colour-blind community.


so let me think about it... colorblind people dont recognize colors well... and when some acts like he is not recognizing colors well, is it wrong to ask myself (or wonder about) whether is he colorblind?

First the 6 energy Atlas and now a 6 energy Cat.. 2 Heroes that don't beg me to go out of my way to buy them. Maybe, MAYBE after I get all my Phoenix mechs mastered and fill my last bay and master that mech. MAYBE. I won't be in a rush though.

If they had done the variant I mentioned, I woulda been all over it.

LA 1M
LT 1E
CT 1 or 2 B
RT 1E
RA 1M

Woulda been awesome.

This.... disappointed.

I'm pretty sure all of the made up loadouts for the 'hero' Mechs are the love-child of some of the Devs loadouts in TT... barely any actual canon custom variants.

Wow, no photoshop in of "Why so serious?" yet? I'm dissapointed.

Looks like a C1 with the K2 arms, and if that's it, it's a 6 energy mech with JJs and dual AMS. The quickdraw does that maybe better (sans the AMS), but we'll see. if it's 2 in each arm, torso, and the CT, that would make it different at least. If it had 1 energy in each arm, 2 in each side torso, JJ, and a 1 missile slot in the CT along with the dual AMS, it might go over even better, but I doubt that.

Well to be honest there are fairly few canon personal variants that are actually different enough to be worth making a version of. A lot fo them just shift a weapon around or put in this or that equipment. Things we can do any way,

So, the next hero mech will be Quickdraw, and after them we await Thunderbolt and Battlemaster heroes? Or may be we should follow the path started by Dragons and start releasing second heroes for each heavy and assault chassis?

PGI just behaves cheap.

There are actually quite a few that could be added right now, that can not be built. At least two dragons, one catapult, a victor, and a awesome. I was hoping for Jenny Butterbee, but all I got was a Jester.

And all the people that wanted Butterbee are really disappointed...heh. I'm curious if this hero mech actually has a canon background.


I would have liked a C2 instead of the Butterbee.

This Dark Age variant is built using a Hollis Marik III Endo Steel chassis and powered by a Magna 260 extralight engine, using the saved weight to make the C2 a dedicated long range 'Mech. The primary weapons are two Federated LRM-15 launchers mated to an Artemis IV fire control system. The Medium Lasers have been replaced with two Defiance Shredder LB-X Autocannon/2s. While this makes the Catapult vulnerable to close range attacks, it also makes it extremely deadly at long range. BV (1.0) = 1,281[10], BV (2.0) = 1,346

In our case the LB-X 2s could be AC/2s.
