It's simply too soon in the timeline to reveal my Blakist intentions.


What, you don't equip yours with Arty/Airstrike and drop a strike on yourself when it's time to die and you've been legged?

You don't wanna know how many people I've maimed that way while denying them the kill in the resulting explosions. Some fatally.

Seriously though, we're in line for a Heavy Hero. We've had the Huggin (Light), Ember (Light), Grid Iron (Medium), and La Menche (Assault) recently. So, it would make sense for a Heavy which would leave us with the Quickdraw as the Thunderbolt is a Phoenix release and unlikely for a hero for a while. If I had to imagine, what I would see is a ballistic in each arm with a missile in each side torso with three energy across the torsos and 5 JJs (take the 4H and replace the arm energy with ballistics, basically) and maybe up engine its limit. After all, what good is a mech called a Quickdraw if it doesn't actually carry the dakka? Hello six shooter supreme!!!


To be fair, the reason we haven't had a heavy hero for a long time is because the heavies got all their heroes first, and the last four months have been making up for the fact that the heavy class was pretty much saturated already.

The only non-Phoenix mechs without heroes are: Spider, Blackjack, Trebuchet, and Quickdraw. Shocking, really; I'm sure it's a conincidence that these four rarely-seen mechs are also the ones without heroes.

p.s.

As it stands now, a Hero Locust would be more appropriately classed as a "Martyr" mech, I think.


Meaning quite the waste of MC (real life cash).. :P

You know if they REALLY wanted our money they would do a month where they don't release a new chassis and just release a hero of all the 'mechs in the game who don't have one.
