$40.00 well spent. C'mon people, make it rain Urbies!

Got the $20 pack. (My other $20 went to a Timber Wolf T-shirt.)

Damn it PGI! Why would you make one LB-X for the IS, ahead of the timeline, when they're practically similar anyways?

/SEETHING SARCASM

The LBX 10 was re-introduced into the IS all the way back in 3035.

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

Kinda surprised it is polygon for camo instead of the urban camo. But will be getting this friday.

So... Close... Almost IIC...

Purchased hard

Lol, I want to know when TheB33f puts up the 24 Urbie fight video.
If top engine is fast enough, it will be hysterical seeing a bunch of R2-D2s running around shooting SLs & MGs.
Urbie makes the Spider-5K & Locust 1V cry.

Hatchetman.

I should start the thread right now.

Did you start the thread yet? 730+ days to go...

[Odanan]

Purchased!

[GreyNovember]

Why have I not posted here yet.

Welp. The 40$ package is the equvalent of a Gundam kit and the two cans of paint I'd be using to do it over, and I already have two of those waiting to be built. Time to join the bandwagon.

Just hope the light queue doesn't suddenly explode when Urbies arrive.

Cute but not worth $40. Mech will be terrible and easy pickings. I know that's kind of the point, it's a fun novelty mech, but people will get tired getting murdered in it constantly after a while.

People, don't let the hype lead you to make a bad purchase you'll regret. Remember Operation Phoenix hype.

[kazrok]

Funny, people said the same thing about the Locust. Now I use it to murderize pretty much anything 100 tons or lighter.

Let's take a look at Operation Phoenix, shall we?

Locust: Everyone said it was DOA, Right now, it's a beast on the field

Shadowhawk: Everyone said it was DOA, instantly became the best medium in the game (still is, with the SCR a close second)

Thunderbolt: It was okay overall the entire time, with quirks, it is now a beast, and the most recommended heavy for competitive CW decks.

Battlemaster: From day 1 is considered one of the best ridge humpers in the game, and the 1 S is one of the best assault LRM boats ever.

Yep, they sure fooled us with the phoenix mechs.

The Urbie is a 30 ton mech, with some of the best hardpoints for a light. It has it's own role to play, and sure looks like it will be decently hitboxed. Not to mention that most of us want it BECAUSE it's not going to be a competitive mech.

Wow, ok so, where to start, oh, I know, the Lolcust is a POS. Fun? Yes, but still a POS. It is DOA.

And in comp, the Stormcrow is by far and away the best medium, the Shadowhawk coming in at a far second. Even in puglandia which is where you come from i'm assuming it's still worse then the Stormcrow, by far.

I prefer hunchies but there is no denying how good the shadowhawk is and for CW it's the best the IS has. And the thunderbolt is hilariously OP and should be nerfed and the locust has its place. Can't comment on the Battlemaster.

The phoenix mechs turned out great weather you'd like to admit it or not. Doesn't change the facts

I didn't say the Shadowhawk is bad, it's very good, just the Stormcrow is in a class of its own, and yes, the Thunderbolt is very powerful I agree with you on that.

Woah... Urbie just got real!

I wonder if we're ever gonna see Totem mechs in the battlefield as well...

Annihilator: meh

Urbanmech IIC: why would you want to make the Urbie good with clan tech?

Only mech I can get behind is Hatchetman

Edit:
Or if we must IIC: Hunchback all the way

This man gets it! If you want the Urbanmech to be "GOOD"... you don't want an Urbanmech! I really, REALLY hope they don't implement the high engine cap Russ mentioned as a possibility("they could go as fast as a Spider" or somesuch). We have enough lights that do that... Make one light unique FFS!
