What the hell? I'm away for a month and suddenly everyone is talking about an urbie release?

Now, can anyone explain me what all the fuss is about?

The Urbanmech have heard our praise and is about to make an appearance in april. But today we will have glimpse of him.

[o0cipher0o]

Do you mean he's going to dispense ac10 shells to his followers?

Oh geez, the day has finally come!!

[ThatGuy539]

I think it's about 1/2 an hour to go. (Assuming they are an hour ahead of me, and that it comes out at 10 AM.)

[Cpt Jason McCarthy]

Urbie predorder page will come at 6PM GMT.

[ThatGuy539]

With a 360 degree torso twist twerk, there is no safe side of an Urbanmech to be on!

[o0cipher0o]

Dat twist.

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.

woops sry for previous one. BUT if its a darn joke, I will get furious. but quick question when is the Marauder gonna come out?AHA ITS A JOKE!! WHY!!!???

That 360 twist is gonna take some getting used to. I already find myself getting turned around the odd time with some of the mechs. Thinking I'm facing forward when I'm facing back.
Hope the twist rate is fast too.

No Marauder. See previous post above about Harmony Gold.

Unless we get one of the reseen concepts (shimmering sword's marauder is my favourite, so far), the marauder is not happening.

So, if i got it right, today they will unveil the concepts for the urbie, and start a preorder campaign to see how many of us are really interested in dropping money on it. Right?

yep...apparently

Although, it's a bit like waiting for the elusive BigFoot to appear. There's a bit in the back of my brain that says this is probably just another joke. I don't think it is this time, but the little doubt is still back there.

I would mind getting a Deputy Dawg if that happened.

[Dawnstealer]

My next "must have" mech (that isn't unseen): Hatchetman.

[Karl Marlow]

Is it time yet?

Hypothetically

To the edge of the Inner Sphere... then into Clan territory. It would mean we can never trust Russ' word again on a Town Hall. Granted, he DID give the stipulation of "If you want this, pre-order it, and then if we get enough, we'll make it" but if he was joking about it entirely... that would be a big blow against what PGI has done since freeing themselves from IGP.
