Doubt it.
The Atlas K's proper price is 22,576,000 C-bills.
This is because as you go up in weight, the price of engines both standard and XL increases. An XL 300 fitted for a 100 ton mech is 12 million, where the same XL 300 (by a different brand mind you) for a 35 ton mech is about 3.8 million.

With the Dire Wolf at 29,350,000 C-bills.
The would be price of a standard engine dire wolf with the exact same build is 13,975,000 C-bills (this is also invalid due to weight, but I love megamek for this reason).
Meaning the price of the Dire Wolf's XL engine alone is 15,375,000 C-bills.

We know PGI will charge the typical XL 300 engine price.
So 13,975,000 C-bills - 2 million (as typically every mech is about 2 million cheaper) + 1/2 of the XL engine price for an IS XL 300 engine in MWO (4,900,000 / 2 = 2450000) = approximately what they will charge.

So an approximation is 14,425,000 C-bills.
Once it's priced, come back and check on this.

that makes me interested, I shall keep a close tab on it once clan mechs for c-bills start comin' out. Though if I can say it, I think clan mechs should be priced higher than inner sphere mechs...you know, pay more for better technology. However, 14.4 mil cbills instead of 32 mil for a Direwolf sure does sound a lot more affordable.

Well, considering that 22 million cbill Atlas K goes for 11 million...
The Cataphract 3D, a 13 million cbill mech goes for 9 million.
You don't wanna know how expensive the Raven 3-L really is in TT. But it's cheap in game.

The clan mechs will still very likely be much more expensive than their IS counter parts. I suspect the KitFox will be around 4 or 5 million. 30 ton Clan mech, priced around 50 and 55 ton IS mediums.

Nova will probably be in the 7 to 8 million range.
Timber Wolf and Summoner, just guessing (not doing the math), probably in the 10 to 11 million ranges.
Warhawk approximately 13 million. Dire Wolf's 15 tons heavier so the 14.4 or so million range should make some sense.

Definitely beats some of the real prices, although those prices wouldn't be so hard to achieve with closed beta's payouts during repair and rearm. It was possible, briefly, to make more than 1 million cbills in a match. Of course the best money wasn't with the assaults but with light mechs that went scouting. Going out with a 450 meter range TAG and stealthily placing the beam on someone from behind got some big payouts that just kept spamming for every launcher fired from every player, regardless of whether or not they hit in the form of a spot bonus and a TAG/Narc bonus. 2,500 each, x2. 5,000, 5,000...over and over and over. Those were the days for good income.

I'm sure they will cost more. He was using IS XL engine price, Clan equipment does cost more. A Clan XL 300 engine should cost more than an IS XL 300 engine, even if the Clan engines prices are brought down so their prices line up like IS engines do. Of course, there is no certainty since Clan engines can't be changed so PGI may not feel the need to drop engine prices. I hope they do though considering Clans have been nerfed some. Paying 32 million cbills for a clan mech that would be about as powerful as a 20-28 million priced IS mech would be a little extreme.

[dragnier1]

It's all speculation at this point, since we don't know how they'll price clan mechs at this point. If we base it off TT the kit fox prime would be 4m, stormcrow prime 11.6m, summoner prime 16.8m and direwolf prime 23.1m (approx. amount, using ssw).

If my prices are close that'll make direwolf and warhawk pretty attainable for most, taking 3 months assuming they are earning 70+ per match on avg, playing 3 matches a day.

When will clan tech be available in the Mech Bay for use on IS mechs?

cant wait!!

[Frytrixa]

Patterns anyone? Do we have to wait till november to paint our Timberwolves and Warhawks?

Yep.
Patterns for the Phoenix mechs didn't come out until each specific one came out for cbills.
On the good side... most of us got a pattern to tide us over, I've done quite a few paints already.

[Octantis]

So is the Kit Fox available for MC purchase? On the picture it said Week 2 July and well here we are in Week 2 of July.

Yeah I would also like to know.... debating to buy the Kitfox clan package or wait for the MC option if it works out cheaper.

[Rhaythe]

I would assume these clan mech releases correspond to the patch cycle, so probably the 15th. July has 5 weeks (3 full weeks), so the graphic is slightly off. But what do I know.

Dude. This guy don't know frak. What an idiot. =D

[Kian Xavior]

Looks like a flash sale. I have the Kitfox on a discount for the next 4 hours.

[Ace Goodfighter]

Just bought me a hero mech so that I can rack up those cbills. Although if a cooperative multiplayer campaign with rewards came out I would be willing to pay some more money he'll yeh!

So they released the KitFox - but still no pattern? Grrrrrr

[Gorgo7]

Pattern when they come up for C-Bill sale.

[Lucas the Old]

Just a question about another aspect of the clan package. With the release of the mechs for purchase by MC then C-Bills, I was just wondering if perhaps we may purchase more battlehorns. I like the ones I have, but I mostly run IS mechs, and I need a few more horns. Just curious.
