Woe be upon us, for the blessing of Urbanmech is still witheld. But we wait and suffer, for the knowledge what is to come keeps us going. The rapture of the coming of the autocannon! The ecstacy of finally getting to take out the trash!

LORD URBIE COMETH!

I think we should all fly to their BC office and have a Demostration outside to free the Urban Mech!

They are holding it captive! Trapped in just code! It needs to be set Free!

After the urbie... (Come On PGI!!), a 75T Black Knight is one of my few real desires.

Would I love to see them re-design some unseens like say the Marauder (and call it an ice cream sandwich for all I care about the name!)... sure.

But the BK fills the missing heavy spot for an ECM capable IS mech. As mainly a heavy pilot.... the BK would be ideal.

They should just get the rights to the Marauder, same as they did with a few unseens already.

If they can get a 100 page Urbanmech thread going by simply teasing us with the production mechs, just image the chaos when the discussion about the Hero Urbie gains some steam...

But the Urbanmech is THE Hero! Every Urbanmech to ever step upon the field of battle has proven itself to be leagues beyond all those around it. Just look at what is wrought by the Spider-Urbies via the devastation they bring to the battlefield; and those are mere shadows . . . attempting to ascend into the glory that is the Urbanmech.

. . .

Although, seriously, I'd love to see what Hero variant they have in store for the Urbanmech. I'd buy one ASAP once it is released.

Yes, an Urbanmech deficiency is quite serious.

I hope it's Deputy Dawg. That one is glorious.

If not, these are the hardpoint suggestions I recommend for it:

6-8ballistics

4xAMS

6xEnergy

ECM

6xJJs

4xMissile


They need to pick any 3 of these and throw them into the mix for the hero Urbanmech.

I love this idea.

I would just make it a machine gun AMS boat.

If it's Harmony Gold (as the Marauder is), the company is openly hostile towards Battletech in general.

You would literally have to buy Harmony Gold itself to allow use of the old Macross-model artwork and designs safely.

Meanwhile, the Urbanmech would be more popular and require no legal loop-de-looping whatsoever.

...And, since there are multiple variants of the Urbie available, it would be the first Light Mech Chassis to get proper AC/10 and AC/20/quirks. Also, there's a PPC-toating variant, too. That would make it the lightest Assault Mech in the game with heavy-weapons quirks.

I have decided: making a pixelmech Deputy Dawg is now top priority. Stay tuned.
