Nice thread necromany!

Agreed. If money can talk, then consider me an angel investor ready to push the Marauder series forward.

Can it be done within the copyright limits (by applying variations, slight name change, etc.)? What are the hurdles? How much time would it be to develop? How much money is needed to cover this time?

Answer (from ask the Devs 31):

Foster Bondroff - With the release of XTRO: Succession War I Catalyst introduced new designs for some of the unseen/reseen mechs, namely the Wasp, Griffin and especially Marauder. Any chance we will see those classic and epic mechs in the game based on the new art in this new XTRO?
A: I can’t comment on Unseen/Reseen. Very sorry.

Your sig's babyhand looks unnaturally posed. That has to be uncomfortable for the little gaffer to twist his arm around like that.

Will there be Marauders in this game?? They had to take out all the classics like the Warhammer, Archer and such because of copyrights. If the marauder IS in this game...I will love this game for at least 3 years..

Use this art for the MAD-II:

And I'll have your children!

Just thought of THIS as a close analog of a semi-upgrade of the Bounty Hunter's old Marauder.

Actually it isn't that uncomfortable. And pretty easy to pull off, just make a fist and hold your hand palm out and next to your body.

simple.... with the bounty hunter's ties/involvement with Wolf's Dragoon's not entirely known, or limited..... he could have had clan tech obtained from them. After all, they were a clan recon unit sent to the inner sphere. What is so hard to understand about that? It's one custom mech, for The Bounty Hunter only, probably provided by Wolf's Clan Wolf connections and tech..... seems plausible enough to me....

The Bounty Hunter name, PA(L) armor, and trademark paint scheme work like the Dread Pirate Roberts in that it is a name passed down to a successor. Said person (more likely persons) has had more than a few 'Mechs over the years and been around almost three quarters of a century by 3050. The Marauder II used by The Bounty Hunter went through several permutations one of the last of which had a great deal of Clan tech in it. Getting that Clan tech poses an interesting questions, but that is part of the mystique of The Bounty Hunter. He/She has some crazy stuff he/she should not have. The money required to purchase that kind of stuff, let alone smuggling it around is insane.

At the OP: As the Marauder II itself is Reseen the jury is out on if we will see it in game and the devs are apparently unable to comment on the matter for whatever (most likely very good) reasons.

Edit: Drat it all. Wasted this nice post on a necro'd thread.
