2T: I think its a great idea! There are already loads of IS-Buckets but a bigger variety is always nice! Plus you guys are awesome at (re)designing Mechs :)

What about "Retrofit" package with option to chose Founders or Phoenix mech packs, but without badges and etc.

PS: I will sell my soul for F Atlas face geometry.

I thought they said that Quads would be hard to program.

It's really a pain..... how is it possible that an old game could program a quad, 20 years ago, but now it is difficult... :(

Its not their fault its the Graphics Engine its hard to reprogram like that to do what they want it to do.

P.S. I really wish they can have the wire frame mode in atleast as a joke.

The Tarantula is somehow special. (see it behaves like a normal mech -to have 4 legs didn't alter the way how it is piloted.

As lore - Quads don't have torso twist, but they can strafe - so two complete differences.

I'm down for...I don't even have a working game rig...but I'm hoping to have one next spring. Id be willing to spend $80 in anticipation, provided they are chassis that I find desirable.

Im really digging the med Crab chassis as a bonus to the King Crab. The King Crab seems like it could be an impressive looking Assault...but I don't really do Assaults, the King a Crab would be a novelty item for me...the Med crab too, since it's an old chassis and doesnt seem to really bring much firepower of special equipment with it.

The only thing like are fast lights/light mediums with good firepower potential and Heavy(possibly an Assault) ballistic builds...I love quad ACs, preferably UACs.

Of course, I still want my Flea...and a a Venom sounds good too.

Marauder please :wub: .
Actually I'd like a heavies pack with Marauder, Warhammer, Crusader and Archer.
Such iconic mechs, all of them.

Two words "Harmony Gold"

They need a vote aswell as us sadly. Battletech is just split to far apart.

Yes. I don't even remember it being very good but for some reason I loved that thing in mech3.

Because they need future selling mechs not all could be in the package they would run out of material quickly.

Sadly I grew up with clans but now I am in a group I don't feel like switching for just clan mechs in community warfare.

Russ can still announce them early, as that's essentially what this is - a who's first in line vs who has to wait match.

Not talking anymore tonight. Gotta sleep.

Heres an idea before I get off what about this mech http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Annihilator if clans can get something like it we deserve something similar too.

One thing to consider in regards to the gag ball pack would be the timeline. Try not to reach too far when telling SantaRuss what you want. One classic, that I think all would approve of would be the Zeus. That would be a must as it is more inline with the other classics that were released.

Would HG allow us to have the rest of the unseen if they were redesigned and did not look like the original disputed mechs? I would love to have the traditional looking Marauder but if HG wouldn't let it through unchanged I would be cool with redesigns.

Even though I'm already getting a King Crab, I would buy an $80 IS pack, as long as all the mechs are new.
