It's the "Iron Giant"...

[GalaxyBluestar]

and where is the artists concepts? i think this is the first time a "new mech" is "revealed" before artists concepts.

loki looks like the best bet at the moment.

for now though i'll just ignore this, poor publicity stunt is poor. and we need UI.2 and CW before clans...not that there were any scheduals at all.

I wish it was a Banshee.

Had me for a second, but I think it's just a powered down Griffin.

Were it the almight Timberwolf, the legs wouldn't be parallel with the torso.

Could be but the top looks off for a Griffin plus the site that IGP owns was pulled right after Homeless Bill found it meaning there was something on there that was not supposed to be seen by us.

Whoops, it looks like one of us here at IGP pressed the wrong button and put some screens somewhere publically accessible. Seeing as this is already out, we’re going to leave this thread open, but please keep in mind for the future that unreleased content should not be posted on the forums.

no offense Niko, but if the Powers That Be screw up and leak it, we should be allowed to debate it!

[Rebas Kradd]

Can you say "intentional leak"?

They need a new jolt of interest right about now.

[Escef]

Given that all we have is a shadow, the arms could be distorted shadows of the Hunchback's arms. The double hunch could either be a Hunchback IIC or a new hero Hunchback (which has been widely conjecture about since the last three heroes have all been on mechs that were in the Founders package, of which the Hunch was part).

[Alexandrix]

I'll tell you exactly what it is.It's PGI's next money grab.

Albeit,I must admit I'm excited to see the artist rendition of the timberwolf.The art department is the one part of MWO/PGI that gets anything done.

I'm going out on a limb, could be another light scout mech the Anubis...

That's what it looked like to me at first too.

EDIT: DEFINITELY not a Timberwolf, with humanoid arms and regular legs.

I'd almost guess a modified Crusader if we had the art from it, but I guess I'm leaning Anubis now.

Given this screenshot is perfectly positioned to leave a mystery shadow, I'm wondering how much of a "leak" this was

Arms fit
Shoulders fit - 2 shoulder hunch
Skinny waist
Skinny legs
Could be powered down

[Blood Rose]

I was excited initially, but I have to concure, that is no Timberwolf. The shoulder pods are too small for it. I think it may be a Summoner or a Hellbringer though. Or a HunchbackIIC.

[Thorn Hallis]

I put my bet on the least possible option: An orginal Phoenix Hawk!

Okok, it's a Centurion.

You guys are Cray, clearly it's ball lightning interacting with swamp gas while Jupiter is out `puts on some shades` now just look at the red lense of my camera....

I'm not gonna lie I went squee a little.

[Ekezial]

Elemental!

[Murilo Specht]

I'm not sure if it's a Timberwolf, but I hope it is!

[DaddyP1G]

Anubis is too NEW. You have to think timeline. I'm going old school with a Thug.

[Samziel]

Surely looks like a gigantic Elemental, but if it is a ''secretly intentional leak'' the mech is intentionally in a position that makes it hard to guess. Well, at least we have a new mech coming

Mauler would fit the timeline and it resembles a bit of it due missile pods and humanoid legs, but shouldn't it have longer cannons? Anyway if it would be Mauler it would be instabuy from me!

Edit

Oh damn, well these pictures were found from a site ''mechwarriorclans.com'' which seems to be unactive currently.

No Mauler for me it seems
