If the Urbie, hallowed be it's autocannon, gets released any time soon we can suspect that IGP was the culprit of resistance.

Until the time of the Urbanmech, all we can do is make the sky alight with our hopes. Shine those small lasers and make the image of Urbie shine upon us from the clouds.

It'd be a good way to illicit good will and curry favour with the community.

'Look, we have control now, so can give you things you actually want!'

Releasing the urbie would be a simple way to get our support.

The Urbie (thread) has slumbered too long...

In other news, the new AC10 cooldown module really helps my Urbanspider. :wub:
And is twice as expensive as an Urbanmech. :blink:

Hmmm...maths time:

Urbanmech: 1.5mil

Modules:
Small laser range: 3mil
AC10 Cooldown: 3mil
Target Info Gathering: 4mil
Adv. Seismic: 6mil
Speed Retention: 6mil

Spending 15 times what a 'cheap' mech costs to play simulate it in game: Totally worth it. :lol:

Edit: If you use Radar Derp instead of TIG, then it's 16 times the cost of an Urbie.

When, not if, they release the urbie, I will paint it blue, silver, and white, and name it R2-D2. Then I need the warhorn that sounds most like random high pitched beeping/howling.

That is true devotion. Now I'm tempted to go get me a Spider-urbie, as well.

April fools jokes aside. PGI, could you please give us the urbie? I heard some speculation from other players that the surprise mech might be an Imp, which would be a nice way of giving us an urbie, without giving us an actual urbie. While cool, and will sate our hunger for a while, it's still not 35 tons.

I think I'm holding onto my praise til the Urbie actually shows up, but when it does, I am probably gonna name it after someone specific for bringing it to us. :lol:

thank you all- true it was tough to keep my killing instincts at bay (that and i was on the opposite side of the map from him the whole match but let's not quibble over minor details) but it was for the greater good :)

What would make my day, and probably kill me from laughter, is if Matthew actually puts the Urbie in, and cites this incident as why.

I must express my disapointment that I could not even buy a model of an Urbanmech in this true color sale.

Yeah.

It's a massive shame that there isn't even an Urbie statue available.

They made one, and released it as a limited time thing with top-hat and cigar, yeah, but what about releasing a standard one?

I almost gave into this weekend's sale, and then I remembered my last quote on this thread:

"After the last patch, I purchase no more MC until I can have an Urbanmech in my mech bay."

PGI drives a good sale, but I am a man of my word.

Come on guys, I need some colors for my new Urbanmech collection!
