forgive me if this has been stated/answered before but is the Zeus able to be put into the game or does harmony gold own the rights?

[Ngamok]

Zeus is open to PGI, HG owns:

From Macross

• VF-1 Valkyrie

This 'Mech from the Super Dimension Fortress Macross series normally transformed into the three combat modes recognized in BattleTech by Land Air 'Mechs. Within the BattleTech game this one vehicle was split into distinct non-transformable 'Mechs models and LAM models. The LAMs, true to their artistic origin, could transform into aerospace fighter, hybrid, and 'Mech mode. Stinger VF-1A Stinger LAM - LAM model of above, illustrated in LAM or Hybrid mode Wasp VF-1S Wasp LAM - LAM model of above illustrated in LAM or Hybrid mode Super Wasp Valkyrie VF-1S Phoenix Hawk - VF-1S with FAST Packs Phoenix Hawk IIC - VF-1S :Reseen under a new agreement Phoenix Hawk LAM - LAM model of above illustrated in LAM or Hybrid mode Crusader - Armored VF-1A, ^[2] Falcon :Reseen as of Record Sheets: Operation Klondike (From BattleDroids) Firebee (From BattleDroids) Hornet (From BattleDroids)

Not a big fan of the Charger, but the other 3 definately. Also for my Kurita friends, Hatamoto-Chi / Thug.

Katana / Crochett are ugly btw if any Kurita comes here.

[Silentium]

Yes, give us the thug precious.

Orion can act like a thug in a pinch though, so maybe it isn't that big of a deal.

[SgtMagor]

yes i'll take them all Banshee, Zeus, Thug, Charger, Cyclops.

[Nutlink]

I'd hump my dogs leg for a Zeus. It was one of my main rides back during the NBT days.

[Hans Von Lohman]

Actually I would NOT want a Cyclops for a long while. It is the Atlas, but the SRM is in the center Torso. Is the loss of 10 tons to gain a zombie mode weapon that big of a difference to warrant adding it to the game?

I would vote for the Charger of Banshee, and that is because the goofy builds they have by default would be fixed in the mechlab in about 2 minutes after getting a Charger or Banshee.

The Zeus would be my assault mech of choice to add next, or the Grand Titan.

The Zeus is a must have for this game!!!

It also has the speed of a Boar's Head. (Or even a tad faster.)

The Cyclops wouldn't be bad if they gave it the major feature that sets it apart, which is it's C3 computer and enhanced electronics. If they only gave it ECM then yeah it wouldn't be much more than a 10 ton lighter D-DC which may affect something if we have weight limits, but isn't an outstanding difference.

I could see the zeus or the hatamoto chi/hi/kaze/mizu, though the later is very much a draconis mech.

[Ragnar Darkmane]

We need the King Crab. No other Assault matters.

Seeing the arm weapon missile mounts on the Orion makes me all warm and fuzzy for a Zeus.

MW:O is not complete until we're able to re-enact EVERY MechWarrior game intro:



Come on PGI, we're almost there for this one!

[Anastasius]

Yep Zues will be cool. I always love fielding them in TT/Megamek. Something about the iconic mechs that dredges up my pleasant childhood memories of playing Battletech in the 80's.

[SgtMagor]

come on, who doesn't want this sweet mech.

[Anjian]

With Harmony Gold, absolutely not. Zeus is all FASA and Battletech IP. This is something PGI can choose to do so.

Looking over the list of variant on sarna, it seem Colonel Holly is piloting a Hero Zeus.
Ballistic in each hand; Gauss in left and AC5 in right.

Im sold on the Hero Zeus already.
