Jester needs jumpjets for sure.

As a side note, this likely means the catapult will accurately display any and all weapons mounted on it moving forward. Those arms on the Jester are almost certainly the K2 laser arms (where the existing arms are the PPC model, obviously).

I'll probably eventually buy it. I like the Catapults. Must finish off the other mechs first before the Griffin and Wolverine drop for me in December.

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?

They seem to be adding heroes for the original Founders mechs (already hit Atlas and Catapult), so in 2 months it's *plausible* that we'll get a Jenner hero (and a Hunchback hero before that).

Stop haxin' that PGI playbook. They'll silence you for that!

:)

Although, in the absence of a Jenner hero, I expect a Battlemaster hero.

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

I think so, too, but the Jenner already has two "special" variants, so the Raven might make more sense. (Yeah, yeah, sense, I know...)

Butterbee would have been to powerfull. With 4 missile and 4 energy hardpoints it would be better than the C1(2 missile 4 energy) and the C4(4 missile 2 energy).

Hang on, the K2's arms already change for PPCs or Lasers. As do the ballistic slots. The only things that don't display fully on the model (as far as I'm aware) are torso PPCs, and the UAC5 doesn't appear to have 3 barrels.

You can already make the butterbee with existing catapults.

PGI doesn't make enough scratch on light mechs since only a fraction of the player base regularly plays lights.

while the inside of the barrels are wrong... Those are the barrel mounts for LB 10 X AC.

So Ballistic arms... =P

I have to agree that the centre of the barrels look like a energy weapon
