New hero mech Awesome announced. C'mon Banshee!

[Adridos]

I'm going to sacrifice something to the dark gods of Chaos, something to the C'tan and maybe Cthulhu just to get a bigger chance of a concept art for tomorrow.

Any volunteers to help me?

Sign me up. Let's go down to South/Central America and use the Aztec ruins to rip my heart out as the offering.

Banshee - 8 Energy, 1 or 2 Ballistic, 1 x missile...
Right. We need a 95 tons Stalker-style energy boat with dual Gauss like we need Fleas. (pun intended)

Personally I'd prefer to have the Zeus as a nice alternative to the Awesome, but we'll see.

P.S: Also, the Banshee looks rather bad imo. Sort of like an Atlas on Atkins Diet with Sunglasses. I have no doubt that the talented designers at PGI (as hard as I am on PGI, I acknowledge they have good Mech designs) would manage to make it like look somewhat decent though.

We have the Orion already, get over it. The Zeus and Victor are just a 5-ton heavier, Assault classed Orion that lets the other team bring an Atlas.

And Orion itself is a smaller Atlas.

In the Heavy Class, your point is moot.

[Butane9000]

I want my Orion with my build. Why must I wait until summer?

Blasphemer! Shub-Niggurath shall have your soul! >|-)


Come on Banshee! (or Zeus, Cyclops, Annihilator, Victor... or whatever.)

Alright, now that the topic of Divine Contract has been breached, who do I need to sacrifice to who for an Axeman?

[Ens]

...to the garth!

[Maestro Baits]

All I can say is if we get the banshee, its cockpit glasses better resemble TTGL!


If anything else this pic from Sarna of a 1E would suffice.

I shall enjoy the sweet tears of disappointment and rage when the next mech is the Hatamoto-chi instead of the Banshee...

Either would be appreciated.

Just hope the cockpit viewport isn't ridiculously huge and completely out of "character" for the mech like the Orion and Blackjack.

Well obviously there is going to be over lap with some mechs. But why bring a Banshee when you can bring an Atlas or a Stalker, both can last longer or bring more pew pew?

An Atlas will never be able to Energyboat like the Banshee would.

A Stalker will never have the tonnage, nor access to Ballistics like the Banshee does.

[Lonestar1771]

Energyboat does not equal win

Ballistics do not equal win

These are much better and bigger differences than a 5-ton heavier Orion that gives the other team an Atlas.
