Faction pack is the faction themed camo/color scheme and bonus items; look at the Clan wave 2 for the clan example.

For IS there needs to be six:
Steiner
Davion
Kurita
Liao
Marik
Rasalhague

Ah, I see. Thanks!

Additionally the fins from mechcommander 2 are technically unique to a later in the timeline high tech version of the zeus and were not present on earlier variants.

Ah I did not get that from Mechcommander that the Zeus in there was another variant Zeus-X . The first sarna pic you posted shows the conelike shoulders better than the other 2 pics where it's more barrel like. The single cone from MW4 is really nice looking imo, thats why I posted that one. I'd really like to be able to recognise the Zeus ingame just by looking at the shoulders and do hope that the ingame model will have verry noticeable shoulders.

To be fair, I don't hate the concept I do like the underarms, the legs and the head (with the antenna's). The torso I can't quite "judge" as it might go both ways depending on how flat/beerbelly like it will be.

Thanks for the reply!

Prime? Does that mean we're getting IS mechs with Clan weapons? If not then the Enforcer doesn't make sense there isn't enough variants for six mechs. Also to note the "Enforcer III" has Clan tech on it and or IS versions. If I am right then we are having a time jump, yes? It would make sense with the name "Resistance." Of course I may be completely wrong, but I'm basing everything off of sarna.

[JediPanther]

Yay! Finally new is mechs that have my intrest.

[The Boneshaman]

I was going to post that the Panther didn't look all that great....... than I took a closer look the Zeus looks nice the other 2 are meh not big fan of them. but I hate running lights in this game. I cant play them nor can I take them on 1 on 1 me in a fresh assault vs. a damaged locust .

[LordLosh]

the Zeus looks like a pudgy, fat, frumpy, ugly Battle-master. I would change the cockpit to make it unique and set it apart. You do awesome work Alex, please don't limit yourself or allow others to put you on a time constraint to where you feel you have to use already created parts. just my two cents

[Excalabur50]

Going to buy my pack as soon as I can

[Johndar]

Gonna get new mechs regardless. Gotta get em all!

No. Prime denotes the special variant, unique geometry etc. The 2 Prime +4 Variants for the Enforcer pack doesn't mean 6 Enforcers. It is 3 Enforcers and 3 Panthers (1 Prime for each). If you buy the $80 pack you get all 4 special mechs, plus the 2 variants for each chassis (1 Prime +2 Normal).

[ColonelProctor]

So let me ask since I have never bought a pack...If I buy the 80 dollar one I get all four mechs and the variants? It's like buying the whole package right?

[LordBraxton]

Everything looks lovely except the Zeus.

The Zeus and Battlemaster are classically tall and somewhat slender assaults, why are they big fatasses in MWO?

No. Prime is terminology that only refers to the base design of an Omnimech. None of these mechs are omnimechs, thus it is being used erroneously. They have never used the word Prime to describe an IS mech before, and i challenge you to find another reference.

Last I checked the plan was for every mech to appear
