I think we have a winner for the ugliest 'Mech paint job.

Looks like a K2 without ballistic hardpoints, plus two energy hardpoints in CT. Also an extra AMS.

Well that's simple. XL300, 20DHS, twin-PPC and four MLas. I'm intrigued.

EDIT: On one hand I hope it comes with JJ. On the other hand, that would be a bit P2W....

It basically makes the K2 a ballistic platform from here on out, because there's no point in running a K2 without big ballistics unless you don't want to spend money on the hero mech.
"So I can either have 2 AMS and 2 extra medium lasers.... or 2 MGs. Hmmm, decisions, decisions...."

You know what this means..............................Hero Hunchback for December.

NO. My K2 will ALWAYS enter the fray with two ERPPCs. It's like the trunk of an elephant, the mane of a lion, the song of a humpback. IT IS MEANT TO BE.

I want a HBK with a 4SP style missile launcher on one shoulder and a 4H style ballistic mount on the other. No head laser and one energy mount per arm. Or a Hunchback with PPCs on each shoulder.

ugly a sin. Good luck I have some colors, let's see... why yes pure black seems nice.
And nice to have another energy heavy Heavy. So far we have the Cataphract 1x and the Thunderbolt.

"From here on out"? I thought it always was.

Heroes will never be able to change their camo pattern, just like Founders. They are considered a different 'Mech type.

Regular 'Mechs will be able to gain official camo patterns, colors, and decals from earning LP.

Can we hope that PGI don't screw it?

[Davinelulinvega]

I got no hero mech yet... are you at least able to change the colors?

[Razuko]

HBK-4N
AC5
2x LRM5
4x ML
1xSL

Bad thing is the AC, both LRM and 2 of the ML are all in the RT.

Pretty sure the mech shown there is the following:


CPLT-JESTER
Engine: 300XL, DHS 19, LPL (2), MPL (2), SPL (2), AMS (2), 3 ton AMS ammo, 416/422 Armor, Endo-steel

Or
CPLT-JESTER
Engine: 300XL, DHS 18, LPL (2), MPL (2), SPL (2), AMS (2),JJ (4), 2 ton AMS ammo, 416/422 Armor, Endo-steel


That would be exactly 65 tons and all slots full.


If it's the second one it will sell.

This one has me interested for sure.

If it doesn't Jump I won't be getting it. The build I would use wouldn't be different enough than my K2 to justify for me.

[Jerod Drekmor]

No NO nO not 4N/4H........PGI give us HBK-5S.

[NRP]

If this thing has JJs, it's a guaranteed sale. If not, I probably won't bother.

However, if it does have JJs, then it would instantly obsolete the K2.
