So, being an OmniMech is an all-or-nothing prospect that MUST BE built-into the 'Mech during its initial construction, and it represents a capability that is lost if the 'Mech is "parted-out" and combined with other 'Mechs - there are no "halfsies" as far as OmniTech is concerned.

YEs, but I meant other than Frankenmechs, but a specific mech designed with regular hardpoints, and 1-2 omnipod sections.

But, like I said, doubt it exists.

so if I put a mad dogs legs on a timberwolf it becomes a battlemech?

No, since they are both Omnimechs. Those two Omnis actually share the same legs, so poor example regardless

No it does not exist. Every single Omni is a complete omni. And besides, this is not how omnis actually work. Basically in TT omni any weapon or equipment can go in any pod space, as per Mech creation Rules: weapon and equipment placement, without having to make an entire new variant or mech (the "variants" are just standard configurations most pilots use) but due to the amount of work needed to program such a ridiculous system that's not happening.
So instead we got the omnipod system.

wait... so I can make in TT a mech with 2 large pulse lasers in the legs?

So if I put an urbanmech's head, right arm, left leg, center torso, right leg, left torso, left arm, and right torso on a timberwolf. What would I have?

Well, there are fixed weapons, like the Adder's flamer for instance, so in a way he is just curious about a "more fixed than omni" setup.

Yes, in TT you can add weapons to the legs. In fact, several mechs have MGs in the legs, and the Hellbringer had AP (anti-personnel) pods mounted in them.

I"m positive we will get the Urban Mech by April 1st of this year (Founders should get it for Free.... it should come out as MC first and/or a Free version by a hard Tournament with Most kills in a game (doesn't matter how many.... just most kills in a single game) and then C Bills a few months later...

PGI would be stupid to give it to anyone for free. Nothing personal, but Founders have received enough, and as ridiculous as this thread and the mech it is about happens to be, it will also be a cash cow for PGI if released intelligently. I see it being handled like the Mad Dog, if they really want to make some money off of it, or at least as the second light in an 8-tier pack.

Never know, thoug, stranger things have happened...

You'd have a Chibi-Stalker.

Many have tried. All have failed. Such is the might of the Urbanmech!

The arm weighs almost as much as the ML

[jper4]

i also think the urbie needs one extra quirk- if mounting an AC20 when the urbie fires it is propelled backwards at max speed 50-100m making a high pitched squeal like r2d2 when it got an electric shock trying to hack into some computer system in one of the star wars movies.

World will end, the Universe would collapse on itelf and we all be living inside of the Urbanmech. Not saying that we are not living inside one right now.. You never know.

fingers crossed for release on the 20th?

It would be a good way to mollify the community while they work on catching up from the holidays.
