So I want to get the founders pack, but I don't know which to get. The only real differentiating point for me is the 1 vs. 4 founder's mechs.

I'm just a little concerned, They're listed as "exclusive" does that mean that if I take the Elite pack with, say, the Hunchback, I'll never be able to play with an Atlas, Jenner, or Catapult, or are these just going to be special version of those mechs and I can earn the regular versions in game?

It's a special version with slightly different asthetics and a 25% cbill bonus, that's it. You can still obtain the regular version of the mechs on your own. You're not missing out on anything other than slightly better cbill and looking a bit different.

they are eactly the same as normal mechs, maybe a different paint job, they just have a 25% Cbill income boost.

These are just special versions with some bonuses. You still can pilot the normal mechs but without the bonuses... :lol:

You just cant pilot the founder version of those mechs. You can always buy the reference ones later

Pretty sure they said they look different, so yeah paint job probably, but enough to put a big "shoot me" sticker on you :lol:

I just got the Atlas as it has several different types of weapons available and will be the most expensive mech to get in game. I figure I can figure out which style of fighting I prefer with it and I won't have to drop ton of currency to get it later.

I believe the aesthetic differences will be the standard mech concept art vs the operation inception art.

Learning to drive in the expensive mech is expensive.
