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

I'm re-collecting/re-reading the entire BT/MW novel series. So far i'm 23 publications in, in roughly IS timeline chronological order, and a UM hasn't had a single appearance or mention yet.

The Urbanmech became iconic back in 1997, when Danny Frost "Lord of the Urbanmechs" started fielding an Urbie Battalion at tournaments. Then of course, there was this little gem.

Quote

A repost of that classic song to that classic House Liao Cartoon, which
sadly only had one episode aired.
---------

During the horror of the 4th Succession War, moral in Capellan
Confederation was at all time low. In an effort to boost moral, the
Capellan Chancellor Maximillian Liao ordered his Minister of the
Public Entertainment to create a holovid series to help raise spirits.

Two weeks later, the program was broadcasted.

Twenty minutes after the broadcaste, all those involved in the
production were imprisoned by the Maskirovka except for the song
writer, who is believed to be hiding on Terra.


Theme Song from GI Urbie

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Burning through the sky
Comes the fearful cry
of Davion (Da-vion!) Davion (Da-vion!)
Armies of the night
Evil taking flight
Davion (Da-vion!) Davion (Da-vion!)
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Panic Spreading far and wide
Who can turn the tide?


Urbanmech (House Liao Hero, Urbanmechs are there)
Fighting for freedom wherever there's trouble
Over land and sea and air
Urbanmechs are there!

Can the Inner Sphere oppose
Deadliest of foes?
Davion (Da-vion!) Davion (Da-vion!)
Urbies will risk it all
to end the evil call of
Davion (Da-vion!) Davion (Da-vion!)
They never give up
Never say die
Standing tall with banners high
You'll hear their battle cry
(Yo Liao! [generic]) (Yo Liao! [Maximillian Liao, as he smashes a Stuka
canopy])

Urbanmech (House Liao Hero, Urbanmechs are there)
Fighting for freedom wherever there's trouble
Over land and sea and air
Urbanmechs are there!

"Urbanmech is the name for House Liao's daring, highly trained, special
mission mechs. Their purpose: to protect human freedom from House
Davion,
a ruthless Successor State determined to rule the universe."

Urbanmech (House Liao Hero, Urbanmechs are there)
Fighting for freedom wherever there's trouble
Over land and sea and air
Urbanmechs are there!

I hope there is an announcement soon, with details on the Urbie packages. Hard points, specs, maybe a picture of the standard and Hero variants.

Too long! I can't wait!

I can feel time stretching. Ok, who brought a black hole?

[Jacon Ceronia]

Yeah, you know what would be cool? If the Clans could also preorder an Urbanmech IIC.
