Most "competitive" players care only for how quickly their mechs can core out an enemy CT in a zerg rush.

Or how good of a poptart it can be.

As long as it is a blueberry poptart of course my friend

Where's Bishop? I figured he'd be ecstatic.

Bishop already told me a few months back he didn't want this one.

No DHS, Endo, FF or XL engine out of the box...?!

That's pretty rich for an MC-only Mech

ive noticed something, havn't the past few hero mechs been non upgraded as well?
is PGI trying to aim for increasing time spent on our mechs even the heros? (which i try to focus as much time as i play into a chasi that gets bonus cbills so i dont need the incentive of my mech starting out with no upgrades thanks)

They are introducing completely canon hero mechs: upgrades, hardpoint, and all.

Can't say I understand the complaints.

No, actually the Hellslinger, St. Ives Blues and Sparky are all same as in canon Heroes, something people have been clamoring for awhile...

Hmm... I want it, but I am not sure if I want to spend money on it just yet (after shelling out ~$80 for a brand-new Tech Manual, not to mention my previous big buys that hurt my savings account).
But it would certainly be fitting for someone like me to pilot it, name, lasers and all!

Well, for one, since the pricing is the same whether completely maxed in tech, or all tier 1 tech?

Paying IRL money for a Hero, then paying DHS/Endo tax to boot is not...my favorite thing.

Canon pre-3040ish mechs will have that problem.

Not really a fan of Griffins, but this looks good!

Maybe they could throw in the free upgrades, given how expensive the actual MC Mechs are ?

Or they could reduce the MC price. Heroes are currently priced 75 MC/ton. How about dropping that to 50 MC/ton (or some other amount) for the tier 1 mechs?

If I ever get it. It will be red/black/goldish. Flash Gordon colors for sure.

And at least it is a canon mech.

Probably catch it later when it ends up on sale. Otherwise it is a nice mech!

[Bront]

Anyone got a good full blown image of it?

[TELEFORCE]

I really like how the past few hero 'mechs have canon roots in Battletech, like the Hellslinger, St. Ives Blue, and now Sparky. Cool

[TygerLily]

Well, we like the Tech 1 of SIB and Sparky for Stock Mech Monday at any rate! Should be a crazy good Mech in every arena tho.

[YaKillinMeSmalls]

A hero mech named 'Sparky' and it's not a Thunderbolt? For shame!

[juxstapo]

I dig it.
