But are there limited GOLD Urbanmechs?

There are several omissions in the Urbie stats. They have Jump Jets, guys. TWO of them.

(Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, an Urbanmech could actually function as a light jump-sniper ...)

I'm thinking the zero armor, hero with 2 REAR facing ac20 and no engine, etc, should have been a hint, but funnily enough a few people think this is serious.

Although a nonfunctioning Hero Urbie full of promises, that delivers nothing, well would have to be named "PGI" wouldn't it?

[loopala]

april fools indeed...

and here i was hoping to get a lance of Urbies in asault and hold the base from all comers in ether crismon straits or river city.

[Barkem Squirrel]

So, when will this become available for a cockpit item?

Well we can't say PGI didn't listen to their playerbase.

So bad they took it way too literal on my request

You could make some cash if you released that gold Urbie as an Aprils Fools cockpit item.

And the cockpit item should have the top of the urbie spinning in a circle non-stop like the disco light.

[Ekdikesis]

Ohh PGI,

Nice one, but, thats a low blow for all those "Urbie-wanna" Mechs out there that have wanted this thing since the CB days and before... You do know how to keep stirring the pot. I'll give you that!

Now, how about a nice double back and have the REAL Urbie Mech ready to go for the double wammy after the update!

;-)

[Dawnstealer]

I like the way everyone noticed the "0 armor" but didn't notice the dual, rear-facing AC20s or the fact that it came standard without an engine but had a tow-line instead.

I really do wish they'd drop the Urbie. I don't think I'd pilot it all the time, but I would drop in it for a change of pace here and there, if it was available. And yes: I'd get three and master them, which includes buying the mechbays for them. Joke or not, that's real money.

What if it is real and the April fools joke is that we think it is a joke so as to fool us into thinking it isn't there?

Just check the URL of the picture:

It definitly is a April joke

MfG, MEX

PS: I would buy a Urbanmech too, if it would be available, and I already have bought the Shiny Mech for my cockpit !

Well played sir, well played.

[Dark Jackal]

Nice April 1st gag folks, I liked the Dual AC20 bit. I prefer an Atlas Hero 'Mech that launches Urbanmech turrets into the battlezone.

Jokes aside, come April 2nd, I expect an actual Urbanmech to now be included into the game as this peaked my curiosity. Count me in on the UAP ( Urbanmech Application Petition ).

UAP, UAP, UAP!

[stjobe]

Ok PGI, that's it. You're off my Christmas card list.

Unless of course you do have three Urbies ready to purchase in-game when the servers come up.

[ShockATC]

Hahahaha, super!

[wolf74]

Not nice to tease those of us that Respect the good pilots. It not the mech that are bad build it the pilot that don't know how to use them.

Wait.. this is a joke? Oh come one.. I got myself all excited about a new mech. I had my credit card out ready to go. Oh.. I so mad!! How can you get my hopes up like this and think it's ok. You developers have a sick sense of humor. hehehehehehe

[CCC Dober]

Well, PGI ... this is your chance to make people happy and get paid in the process. Joke is on you if you don't realize that.

[Tank]

It better be there where promised after update, risk of having angry Mechwarriors outside HQ is off the charts!
Also I can't wait for new hero Raven... 4 ballistics... NERSE! 4 shots of AC20 FAST! (A man can dream...)

Wow.

[Hexenhammer]

I've got the MC. Put it in and I'll buy it

[ReighnOfDeath]

This is clearly a April Fools joke, but man what i would'nt do to get one

[jper4]

yeah it's kinda funny- the one mech so many people have come out and said they'd buy MC just to get it is the one they seem to have no interest in putting out anytime soon.

oh sure- so it can;t fit any engine we have in game atm, talk about your excuses though that would explain the engineless dual ac20 varient. hmm...
