I am almost afraid to ask, but do these 4 mechs add up to 240 tons for the 4/240 dropship limit?

I really dig this pack and will most likely buy it (may as well I've already paid for every other pack you've put out), with that said though... I'm very disappointed in the choice of the Enforcer. Really? Another 50T mech? As if we don't have enough already! Meanwhile.... back in the 40T bracket.. the Cicada has stood alone since its release. Or did we all forget that 40T is still part of the medium class?

Hell.... Clint anybody?

Still.... take my money... but make with the darn 40 tonners!

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, andi challenge you to find another reference.

PGI has listed the base variant of a mech as Prime before, back with the Phoenix pack, so not a new concept for them.

I'm thinking either Mechcommander 2 or Mechwarrior 3 also listed the base IS variant as a Prime, but I don't have access to either at the moment, so take it as you will.

*edit - MW3 lists the base config of Clan and IS as "Primary." IS mechs don't have variants in that one. MC2 lists the base version as "Prime" for all mechs, but they don't match up directly with canon base versions of IS mechs.

So prime has been used before to describe the original production version of a mech, and that seems to be the way it is being used here, as well. I doubt any TRO has used that term for IS battlemechs, but it doesn't make its usage in this case wrong. Context of use is everything.

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?

Yep buying the highest tier gets you all of the mechs.

Very nice artwork

Hmm, will 6T be the Zeus Variant we get? sarna says it became the standard after further engineering and stuff allowed it to remount the PPC.

Well, now no Clan pack 2 for me, I cannot turn down two of my all time favorites in one pack, Enforcer and Grasshopper. Thank you guys, you have made me one happy mechwarrior.

In the end we felt these 4 ‘Mechs in particular seemed to fit very well together, with other, future packages seeming to be better fits for inclusion of the Black Knight and Cyclops..

We will have to wait for a whole other Pack of Mechs before seeing the Cyclops etc.?

Yes that is how it works. I have not bought a pack so I can't say with 100% certainty, but that is my understanding. Hopefully someone that has bought a pack will confirm that.

Incorrect.

The unique phoenix mechs, were listed as "Phoenix Battlemechs" funny that.

[Pet Dude]

Every Mech? That's a lot of mechs. Need to go past 12v12

Thanks much appreciated. Looks like some new mechs on my horizon.

To qualify for the Atlas S you just need to have bought any previous package but I see now that we may need to extend the Loyalty program for the Atlas a little longer - perhaps until the end of Oct.

Yes plz! I logged in today to pay for the clan pack just to get the atlas, and I didn't want to. Now I can purchase mechs that I do want AND get the altas! (hopefully).

Hello MasterCard? I am going to make a purchase from that Canadian company, please don't reject it.

Seriously, post and within 10 minutes I will buy the pack if the CC situation is fixed.

• Assassin
  
• Clint
  
• Sentinel
  
• Vulcan
  
• Whitworth
