The dragon already is in game?!

I believe he was going for collision damage and possibly even melee damage implementation.

Could be a Grand Dragon... Or maybe referencing the mech with a crushed head.... Whitworth? Enforcer?

Pretty sure the green mech in the picture is an Enforcer. Sadly, not enough variants ever to make it into MWO.

It should be the Rakshasa. The Innersphere Timberwolf copy.


Faster, Almost the exact same loadout, armor, etc. Released 3055.

Well, just as fast and pretty good in most respects.... except it doesn't hit as hard and has worse heat dissipation, losing that perfect balance the Mad Cat has. Not to mention people would also tend to focus on the silhouette for good or ill ("Ah! Mad Cat! Run!"/"Ah! Mad Cat! Priority Target!")

There is concept art for the Lancelot somewhere. Doubt it'll be September but perhaps in the near future. Personally I'd rather pilot the Crab rather than the King Crab, King Crab from an aesthetics point of view is pretty ugly IMO. I don't think we have any reverse joint (chicken-walker) mediums yet (nevermind we have 1, the Cicada, but that's still 1/9). I would also love to see the Osprey. It is technically a Star League era mech but I don't think it was used by any of the houses until after the WOB jihad. But one would hope PGI would be a little flexible (confirming there are 3 variants pre-3049).

That thing would be incredibly easy to kill if it is using an XL. And if it isn't using that XL 375, then it's not much better than an Orion.

Also, needs quad missile mounts. 4x ML and 4x SRM6 with 4 tons of ammo would be pretty neat, though I'd also prefer to have two MGs in there. Might actually make it worth playing.

If IS - Black Knight, Marauder, Hammerhand, Hatamoto Chi would all be amazing. But above all else I have a soft spot for the Zeus.

Obviously the Crab or King Crab would be great but i doubt we'll see them just because 4 legs changes everything.

If Clan...Hellbringer. That is all.

Pretty sure both the crab and king crab are bipedal. They just have pincer shaped doors for their arm weapons.

The Marauder is Unseen.

As the poster above me correctly stated, both the Crab and the King Crab are bipedal and not quads.

Ok what is this mech I just saw posted to the MWO twitter feed?

https://twitter.com/...sNoGalaxy/media

Looks an awful lot like a Warhammer. Lawsuit pending if they ever release it.

My speculation for upcoming features in Sept. would be the following:

I laughed hard at this. You were going for the Antonio Brown stomping Spencer Lanning's face, right?

[Dawnstealer]

Anyone seen any tweets? Reddits? Tumblrs? Livejournal posts? Where else is PGI posting these things up other than the forums?

Yeah, I'm just seeing a Misery, Direwhale, and pink Raven. Hrmmmm...maybe by the weekend.

I'd really like to see the Black Knight make it in the game love that thing, or the Fafnir

[Weaselball]

No news on September IS mech makes me sad :-(

As much as I love the Fafnir, that one's still a Decade out timeline wise. Black Knight however? Different story.

They said in the Twitch thing that there won't be any new IS Mechs until the all the Clan ones are dropped, or at least for quite a while.

That sucks. I was really hoping for a regular stream of IS rides, particularly the Mauler....
