We need a video of an Urbie killing a couple Stars of Clan mechs.

[Emilio Lizardo]

APRIL FOOLS!

There actually is no UrbanMech.

All accounts who purchased the collector's pack will be awarded a single Atlas with a maximum engine rating of 150 and custom geometry across its forehead in black pigment.

[Bierzeltboxer]

Oskar approves!

Congrats to all of you who were so excited about the Urbs that you posted ~6.4 times per day in what was clearly an April Fool's joke for the last year, until you got what you wanted.

Well that just goes to show that you can reach people and change their minds by being both persistent and positive!

Disappointing. I was expecting the announcement that the UrbanMech would be the first Mech to include the option of purchasable "fashion object" geometry including top hats and sunglasses.

We're excited to announce the UrbanMech UM-R60! This little guy packs quite the little punch with 1 AC/10 and 1 Small Laser for popping off those Mechs you know are hiding in an urban area. With a top speed of 32.4 kph, you won't be expected to chase down those pesky Jenners. Finally!

The UrbanMech UM-R60 will be available from April 1st with a Premium Skin. This unique Mech is available to only the most loyal MechWarriors, including 2 variants and the additional Hero variant.

A new Hero Mech arrives on the battlefield! The UM-CUB "Urbie Curby" comes hot from the manufacturer with two rear mounted AC/20s for pummeling at close range. Grab a partner pilot to join the glory, this Mech has no need for an engine! Ask a lancemate to tow you around (Attach hitch with "E") or stay put at your base like a defensive turret.

It seems that I other people on this post can not find the image that went with this announcement, but some how I keep a copy of the evidence.

I'm just saying... If they release the Hunchback IIC and the UrbanMech IIC, then this Inner Sphere faction tag goes buh-bye...

[MechPorn]

The Urbanmech IIC is a little beyond the time line...

Just read http://www.sarna.net...i/UrbanMech_IIC !
The smaller clans still field the Urbie ... and there will be a new version of it in 3070

[Clownwarlord]

OK ... April fools joke along time ago but now the Urbie will be here this month. I wish they would have given the Urbie out on April 1st though because of some symbolism but still better late than never.

URBIE DODGE BALL AT MY HOUSE!!!!

[Skabs]

they compared this "can" to an old 80's flick and did a horrible job at it as well =p

They could have actually used thier brains for something more "original"
instead of ripping off a classic sci-fi from 1984 and calling it thier "special attack mode"

pitiful desperate attempt at cash grab....no thank you

They should rip off an old childrens tv show next and decorate this mech like a garbage can that has a green monster pop out the top ...call that thier next "special attack mode"

I wouldnt be suprised to be honest =s

Well, now that you have ranted about a joke that was based upon our own feedback, and done quite well imo, do you feel better?

I am not even an Urbie fan - quite the opposite actually - and I thought the video was great.

Feel free to go troll elsewhere.

Does it hurt, to be totally devoid of a soul?

Seriously, all I can feel reading this is sadness, that you can't seem to enjoy something so awesome.

I'm sorry for you.
