Or, perhaps, our Hellbringer/Mad Dog(/Kodiak) combo? Actually, I think I might almost want to see the Flea and CTF-3L more.

It won't be more Clan mechs. They have specifically stated that there won't be a reinforcement pack - that was unique to the Phoenix pack.

Set of "Hero" mechs if I had to place a bet.

Quickdraw and Blackjack to be more precise. As there is a NGNG design challenge for both of those Hero mechs.

That is highly unlikely, as the challenge is still going and there is no way they could get it done and approved by the 15th.

If Russ said April 15 package then the Star league mechs are coming out. So I would expect that package to have classics like.

Mercury (MASC based)
Mongoose
Hussar
Lancelot
Bombardier
Guillotine
Flashman
Thug
Emperor
Champion

That's Just a quick look through of what the package might contain. Their probably releasing a package to make up for the lack of Clan mech sales. Since they just past phase 1 late march with April and May to go.

I will add this is all speculation and hearsay who knows what there doing. We were suppose to have a Jungle map coming to.

Also unlikely, though I would LOVE the Thug (aka ghetto Warhammer). They aren't going to release another package to compete with the existing package, especially if the existing one isn't "succeeding".

Then I would vote for the "other" remaining hero mechs,

Spider
Trebuchet

This is the only thing they have eluded to in the past weeks. I doubt they would be so bold to offer another clan pack.

only 9 more days to find out.

[Simbacca]

I figure it has to be a 70 ton heavy mech (to bad it will not be the Archer). We recently received a light and an assault mech. We have lots of medium mechs. Cannot be a 75 ton heavy as the Orion it came out fairly recently.

I would be very surprised if it was any new mech, and they released THREE 55 ton mechs in Project Phoenix, so I don't think they care all that much about specific weights, lol.

I knew that, however, that does not mean that they cannot release more concept art, quiaff?

I don't see what your quiff has to do with anything... they don't have hairstyles in the game yet...

Regardless, I would love a SET of concept art - he didn't say it was a "set of mechs", technically, so that very well could be possible.

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle. Guess that's what I get for supporting what they said previously, lol...

Also, updates!

• Update #1: "not a sale pack I think cbills right away but at most MC one week not certain ATM"
  
• Update #2: "yes variants but that's all I can say"

So, we know that the "set" consists of 'Mech variants that will eventually (and in short order) be available for c-bills, and that (presumably) these are variants of already-implemented chassis.
Assuming these tweets are not marketing misdirection, we can rule out any Hero 'Mechs (which wouldn't be available for c-bills) & packs like the proposed Clanbuster Package or proposed Clan Reinforcement Package (which would contradict the "not a sale pack" statement).

If the CN9-AH is in there, many people will be very happy.

[Spheroid]

If they are MASC variants that is at least two more Wolverine models. WVR-7D/7M

Edited by Spheroid, 05 April 2014 - 06:26 PM.

[Corbon Zackery]

If they did MASC right it should be a jump jet bar with leg damage if the bar runs out while its still active. That will make the locust hit and run attacks fun shoot first turn and WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you speed away at a impressive ramming speed of 230KPH!

[Duke Hector]

well if it is MASC, they BETTER have collisions back in the game, because i want to start plowing over the lights and anything else that gets in my way to knock them down so i can shoot them

Mechs without Heroes:
Locust
Spider

Griffin
Shadow Hawk
Trebuchet
Wolverine

Blackjack
Cataphract
Quickdraw
Thunderbolt

Battlemaster


And while it's probably not going to be Heroes this time, I'm still holding out for a Locust and Spider one soonish.

New variants for existing frames does seem likely though with the description so far.

Oh, man, if it's the Clanbuster pack...



That's about the only thing I'd throw down some serious, actual money for.

There are quite a few variants that have been ruled out through being unique to SLDF Royal units - I wonder what the chances are of some of those being introduced?

[xXBagheeraXx]

Dont care, its not an assault. xD

And LOL @ no reinforcement pack.

Do you REALLY think they would release a clan package without a Vulture? one of THE most iconic clan mechs, second only to the MadCat?

I'd bet you every mech in my garage they will release a reinforcement pack. its not like they havent lied before.....how bout that 3rd person view? xD

Well, 50% of those will never happen, but at least the other two have a chance!
