As far as I am aware, the GB Touman is primarily made up of fast moving stars of Executioner and Viper Omnis, supported by Mad Dogs, with the odd Fire Moth for scouting.

The release so far seems to be Wolf / Jade Falcon / Smoke Jaguar flavoured - while leaving all factions incomplete.


With luck there will be a "Sabre" pack to balance things out.

Hahaha...here I was coming into this thread thinking you were wishing PGI bad luck on their Clan mech sales.

I sure do.

[Karl Streiger]

The StormCrow C....is Ghost Bear and the Nova is common eighter.

But at least non of them really has the touch of common Ghost Bear star - using speed and mobility

I would also say they messed up a bit with the paintjobs.. I mean, i would have put a Wolf camo on the Timberwolf, a Jade Falcon on the Summoner. But Diamond Shark? What are their most common Omnies?

makes sense that light to medium mechs would iconize them.

[Tyrnea Smurf]

Well they are releasing 8 OmniMechs, which if memory serves would leave 8ish 3050 OmniMechs left for them to release on a monthly basis. Although I suspect 2 or 3 might end up in a extra value pack to be announced in spring.

The real question begins is if they stick to the PP style of one per month on MC/C-bill release on those first 8. If so it might be spring 2015 before those other 8 see the light of day, assuming they plan on making them at all.

Given they have extended their license until 2018..

Why do we have no Mad Dogs and Hellbringers yet?

[101011]

I'd imagine there will be something like the Sabre Package with the Mad Dog and maybe Hellbringer (Fingers crossed for Kodiak)

Btw, the Bears use Fire Moths as elemental carriers most of the times. They use the Viper for scouting.

I know but..

Would you negate loyal Ghost Bears the pleasure of running at 216 KPH from a side to the other of the map?

I personally think that they'll release first four (Uller, Nova, Thor, Daishi) immediately, and then follow this up with another four (+ potentially more from additional enchancement packs) in following months.

It would be bad for non-paying dedicated Clan players to be restricted to one light clan mech for whole month.

If I'd be an Elemental and a passenger on said Fire Moth - for sure I would!

Well.. There is no Firemoth in MW:LL but you could still make a tour of the map on the top of a fast 'Mech

[Aggravated Assault Mech]

Firemoth and Executioner need MASC put into the game first.

I expect the Mad Dog and Hellbringer to be introduced as an add on in the next few months, as people have already speculated. The both share legs with mechs already slated for Clan release so they would be the least work.

Viper and Man 'o War I expect to be left out for the launch, same with the Mist Lynx and Ice Ferret.

[Will9761]

I always wanted to see a Ghost Bear Recon Star with five Executioners, against a Steiner Recon Lance with four Atlas D-DCs.
