With the recent announcment of the legendary Urbanmech I wanted to say a big "Thank you" to all who didn't get tired of asking for this beloved little tin-can since the very early MW:O days.
(and I think I will be doomed forever if I didn't post in this thread AND trying to enjoy the Urbies once they hit my mechbays....)

So how long before the forums are flooded with whine about 12 man urbanmech rushes on omega generator :P


If the Urbie rushes Omega, the defending team are either out for coffee, or ended up being dropped off in the wrong zone.

Wait, is it for real? The Urbanmech is really coming?

Yep. Tuesday is when the pack will be presented to the community.

I think this is what i'm missing. Where exactly did it become iconic?

As the others said - it was mostly a TT thing

In it's native environment (because where else are you gonna find the trash can?!) equal BV Urbies and Timberwolves....

The wolves are gonna have (at best!) a rough time.
At worst - they all die.

Of course...
Outside it's native environment it goes the other way (if the Urbies manage to hit the TW at all!)
But that is another story. :P

For the record, the discussion about the Urbie starts at around 1:30:45 on the townhall discussion.

Quick Question, did anyone buy any of the $500 gold mechs, and use them?

The $500 dollar Clan mechs from Wave 1?
Yes, I see them periodically - usually Summoners, Twolves, or Dwolves.
The Timberwolf "Sold Out" in fact.

Edit:Typo

My tag kinda gives me away.

Only reason I don't use my gold T-wolf too much right now is because I'm too buy leveling up my wave 2 mechs. Still need to master out my Lynx's, Hellbringers, and Gargoyles.

After I do that and don't have any more clan mechs to use, I'll probably pull it out again for CW.

The real question is how fast do we want it to go? Without it being stupid.

I am so glad I can "skip to last page"...cannot wait for this thread to die off, lol...

That being said, depending on what the "whole bunch of free stuff is", I may buy one just for the free stuff...

LOL i don't see many (read:any) of these going for $500.or even $50. who wanted it? besides gold would ruin the urbieness of an Urbie. They would need say copper or aluminum foil if they wanted to make it on par with the urbie-ness of an urbie.

as for the other question about speed i think 80-100kph is more than fast enough for an Urbie.

Urbie also shows up in Black Dragon, fighting a Hunchback.

It will also be forever known as the first canonical nuclear-weapon armed 'Mech and the Kell Hounds Killer.
