I'm not surprised by the negativity on this thread. I'll only sai: We don't always get the April's fools we want... we get the one we deserve.

Well played PGI

There is only way I know to make a dual AC20 Cicada..... might as well buy an Urbie then if you can run that machine.

I really do want one....

Thats cool, super slow, better stay under foot of a stalker,

[Mark of Caine]

Honestly, one of the best April Fool's jokes I've seen in a very long time! Nicely done! The good ol' Canadian way

[Tannhauser Gate]

I want to see the urbie with the skeleton camo pattern. Like a big skull with arms and legs

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.

TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Totally should have been a limited edition in game cockpit item, what were you guys thinking not putting it out?

I bet they're saving it for the 4th Social Prize from the Clan packs!

The joke is on PGI, this mech would probably seller more than any released so far.

especially compared to this new useless hero raven.

Yes! Please! CRY MORE! Then imagine they brought out an 2 Energy, 2 Ballistic, 2 Missile, ECM Raven Hero... think about it. Then start crying PAY2WIN, CASHGRAB, N.O.P.E., etc.

Almost funny, but poorly executed.

- Urbie is too blurry, looks like something I could draw and not an in-game asset.

- We'd already seen in-mechbay screenshots of the new Raven earlier in the day.

- Too obvious, I figured it out before I'd even looked at it. For the record, Prosperity Park totally got me last year.

- I actually really want one.

4/10, not the best prank I've seen today.

Seriously though, just release one with ES, FF, and a 100 engine. Release them at the same time as the launch module so we can do custom urbie drops. I've got a nice crisp paycheck on my desk here, and nothing to spend it on.

[Evil Ash]

why would you do this to us.

[Iron Mouse]

GAHHH.. Guess I will put my credit card back. CURSE YOU PGI!!

[Nemesis Wolf]

Now thats a good April Fools joke, whats funnier I'd actually get one if it was a real mech. After all, with a little tweaking (XL Engine, maybe FF Armor an Endo Steel) The Urbie really isn't all that bad.. Its just silly looking. So how bout later you guys actually add it as a mech, I'm curious to see if we could actually get a few mechwarriors to pilot one.

So, now in all seriousness (Aside from Clan Mechs), what new mechs (IS) can we expect to see? I'd still like to see a Hatchetman even if we can't use the hatchet. Would like to see the Wolfhound, Mercury, Panther, Enforcer, Vindicator, Crab, Grand Dragon, Guillotine, Imp (Yes, I know it looks like a walking Egg), Grand Crab, Annhilator (You'll noticed I didn't list the "Unseens", Wasp, Stinger, Phoenix Hawk, Crusader, Rifleman, Archer, Warhammer, Marauder, Long Bow, which I do miss), So.. Can we expect to see any of these?

[Reno Blade]

didnt we have some kind of Raven joke last year?
Maybe we get the urby next year then?

[E_Crow]

This is a low blow, PGI.

A very low blow.

[Klaa]

I would seriously buy this... no joke.

[Caswallon]

AC20 to the foot PGI.

DO NOT JOKE ABOUT THE URBIE

No I don't want one. Never have.

But there are those that do. There are also those that will belly ache if you do one that you didn't "do something more important" Seriously just leave this you can't win either way and now you have narked off a portion of the player base? (again) Why give them ammo?

[FireDog]

Throw on some Jumpjets and give us some Longtoms and we could be playing Urbie Dodgeball!

[juxstapo]

This... actually drifts into the realm of "Mean Spirited".

[RyanKane]

Knew it was a joke right off, even giggled a little. But wouldn't mind having the infamous UM-R60, UM-R60L, or UM-R63 in my stable either. Especially with a gold skin.
