So, apparently Russ said in a tweet (couldn't find) that the next mech will be announced tomorrow (Wednesday).

Hopefully a 12-mech pack.

I just wanna see all the salt and whinging. My life has been pretty miserable lately so I want to eat some popcorn listening to 1st world fanbois getting butthurt over totally unimportant crap, to forget my own issues for a bit.

That sounds like life's been focusing fire on you a bit. Sorry man.

Someone's bound to be butthurt and whine no matter what gets released. So you'll get some amusement factor one way or another. Best of all, it might even be something you were interested in seeing, so that would be a win.

Sorry to hear life has got you down. At least your soccer coach didn't lead you into a cave during monsoon season?

Oh? I have nill problems about that, especially not if its something special like those clan, resistance and civil war mechs. I accept multi mech pack like IS omnis or mechs that finally can see the light of the day again thanks to the fall of lawsuit.

The quality... 1 mech a month vs multi pack.. well its a slight difference. Should put more peeps on those multi pack developements to avoid further geometry, animation anomalities.
I however prefer 2 mech a month. One IS and One Clan. A nice middle ground. However it sure is abut manpower to get it done.

yeah, no coaching malfeasance costing a rescue diver his life or putting a dozen kids thru ridiculous danger and tribulation. Just trying to figure out how tot help my brother who just got rushed to the hospital with congestive heart failure last week, but kind of stuck out of country because plane tickets are currently insanely expensive.

Another 5/8 60 tonner. Feels like a Dragon with better hitboxes.

Hopefully it's frontal HBs are good but I'm not optimistic. Also those arms....

I wanna like it... but not sure. Definitely think the Lancelot would have been a better 60 ton choice.

The least PGI can do now is release all Champion variants with 30% XP bonus.. :P

Any 60 tonner would be a better choice... :(

Argus, Lancelot, Ostroc...

It's a strange choice. It does have a 3025 variant for HBS and MW:5, and it holds a little nostalgia for BT-fans, but other than that...

Argus, Lancelot, Ostroc...

Hate to agree, but yes. There would have been better choices in terms of gameplay, indeed. The Lancelot, also from TRO:2750 and having about the same nostalgia value, holds a more promise. The Argus, even if I am not a fan, comes with MASC and an AC/20 in the arm. And the Ostroc is a true 3025 Mech with great hitboxes and good variants.

So why the Champion?


PS: I assume the hero is Daniel Brewer, GDL. The paint scheme would fit (yellow highlights for the 1st batallion), albeit not exactly, but that's PGI.
