Who else is excited?
What do you think it might be?

What we know so far from interviews with NGNG:
1. It's a NEW 'mech
2. 35 Tons
3. The 'mech is "Controversial"
4. The 'mech is "Humanoid"

My bets are on the Wolfhound or Firestarter.
The Panther is out as Russ debunked that in NGNG #100.

Edit:
It seems to be pretty much confirmed by several in the know sources, that it's the Firestarter.
So now we just wait til Tuesday!

Best reason is Russ flat out said it would not be the Panther on the NGNG #100 interview.

Wolfhound would have the most obvious Hero. But dear god is it a boring choice, as all variants are pure energy boats.

The Firestarter on the other hand, would have potential to be beastly. Where did they confirn 35 tonner?

some developer or something said it wouldnt be the Panther. I havent heard that it would be a 35 toner yet so that is something, Id hope for a wolfhound I suppose. Guess well wait and see.

[Carrioncrows]

I had hoped they would be flashing the "Comming soon to the mechlab" promo on the front page by now, but no such luck.

ain't gonna happen.

Wolfhound would be cool. That's what I rode to 3 of the top 10 spots in the MW4 Team Attrition rankings for 2 years.

Somehow I doubt it will work as well in MWO. I already know that I'm not as good as I used to be.

[Iacov]

no urbie?

well...hope it's the firestarter, then...

C'mon Urbanmech!

(I know its only 30tons)

What is more controversial than only a SINGLE hero variant for a mech with no cbill purchasable variants?

QFT

urbie would be the only chassis thinkable, that could be released without "c-bill variants"
and i bet they'd make more money with urbie than with any assault hero

[Hexenhammer]

It'll be a 35 tone jumping missile boat with ECM and twin ams.

Fingers crossed for Powerman.

I certainly hope you're right.

Unique modules in Clan packs sounds a bit P2W, though, so I'm more fearful of things going that way than I have been.

Nothing with all energy hardpoints could ever be beastly. Especially a medium.




Ew.

[CHH Badkarma]

Wolfhound a hero mech? Would that be saying that the worthless Kell is a hero? Must be an inside pgi joke

[CyclonerM]

+1 for Wolfhound!

However, the variants are very similar to each other.. They are mostly upgrades..
