Just super curious as to why nothing has been put up, as it is the day after we are supposed to get a sneak peak on the thermos that is the Supernova. What's up?

Is PGI as reticent about this thing as we are? I mean at least, thanks to Guzzler we got a little insight, but still...

Edited: Supernova frenzy hath begun. That collector's title, the Universe, makes me think of Galactus from Xmen for some reason.

Maybe the QuirkBoard™ broke down from all the mulligans. We can only speculate what goes on inside PGI.

A mech so terrible in theory, even PGI cannot contain their lack of excitement.

Based on the image on the main mwomercs.com page, it looks like it is wider, and the arms are lower than they were on the dev stream. Hopefully its just an illusion lol.

Yep! gonna say the same, just saw its up. So it BEGINS.

I mean, I understand it is based on the King Crab, but... wow. XD

Also, another instance on where the great color dynamics of the art on the (S)pecial doesn't really carry over very well.

Edit:

This is not a still image. The mech isn't moving, and the lasers are actually shooting right now. Yep. This is definitely a gif.

It doesn't look too bad. $20 though? Pass, for so many reasons.

Yeah my big issue is the -1 variant is going to have some serious issues with all hardpoints in the arms, and the quirks that were in the PTS Clan Quirk pdf don't even come close to making up for it.

Front on.

Hmm i'm digging it's looks.

[Jackal Noble]

Well the Collector camo actually looks much better from that angle, without the lasers of eternity blocking the view.

This one looks a lot better tbh. There is also a bunch of open space under the side torsos, which bodes well for mitigation through hopping.

Unfortunately the -1 variant didn't get the quirks it needed so I have low expectations for that variant in particular.

Even the Boiler I worry about... the convergence on the dual gauss won't be ideal, might actually be worth it to sacrifice 7 kph and run the STD engine dual gauss dual er ppc loadout on the MAD-IIC-C. JJs are probably a bit better too.
