The next 'Mech to be announced will likely prompt the following reactions from me...

Banshee = "I told you so!"
Victor = Pleasantly surprised.
Zeus = Meh...another one of "those" 'mechs.
Devastator = Insert "Shut up and take my money!" Meme.
King Crab = Maniacal laughter.
Annihilator = Die laughing...


Mine?

Banshee - F*** YEAH! DID I CALL IT OR DID I CALL IT?
Victor - approving head shake
Zeus - approving head shake
Devastator - Catatonic due to overpowering happiness, followed by a nintendo 64 kid freak out when I wake up
King Crab - approving head shake & maniacal laughter
Annihilator - groan

fixed that for you.

I will laugh as Bishop suggested, then lower the engine rating, slap in 4 PPCs with 20 double heat sinks and find the nearest developer to shoot for wasting all of our time by not just adding the Awesome 9Q in the first place! :D

And if its the Mackie? MSH-9HKR Mackie - Kill Roy's Little Buddy - The unofficial mascot of the Desert Wars portion of the Martial Olympiad, Kill Roy uses two LB 10-X autocannon instead of the single AC/20. Two tons of ammunition is stored in each side torso. For protection the torsos are equipped with CASE. To make room for these, the Beagle Active Probe has been removed. Thirteen Double Heat Sinks keep the 'Mech running.

3057 Bro!

Why do people keep quoting production dates? I know the date the 9Q is produced. Off the top of my head I can list not only production dates but the source book the 'Mech was released in for most 'Mechs prior to 3070.

My point was the Charger is practically the same damn 'Mech the only difference is the jump jets that would turn it into another 4 PPC poptart. I don't know about you but I would be pretty pissed if I got another useless copy of an existing chassis for the next 'Mech announced.

(Edit: Grammar)

If you've ever spoken with me on TS3, via the NA or House Kurita server, you would probably find me to be quite the opposite. Regardless, you are entitled to your opinion. If you want to continue this discussion you are welcome to find me with HARD on NA or 1st Ghost on HK server for which I will gladly extend a guest invite.

Since I am on the subject of TS3, I was thinking it would be a fun idea to set up a time and date to get us all together to drop into MWO and discuss some of the things we normally do here using voice chat. Maybe make it an monthly thing if it works out well. Your thoughts?

Actually that sounds good. Since I joined the MGA I spend most of my time on the House Marik FWLM TS. I need to start going to the beta TS more often. I work most evenings but am usually off Sunday-Monday.

Also it was a joke.

You know if you guys get a big TS3 community chat going, the Server will mysteriously crash..... like the previous 3-4 did. Didn't the removal of a REAL GenDis section tell you how little they actually want us to interchange and spread ideas?

(pssssst... I got a great bulk rate on tinfoil hats if anyone else needs one....)

Why is it not the 21st AND the 22nd? Is there some way we can distort time and have both the 21st and 22nd on the same day?

I wanted to switch gears and talk about the next light and medium BattleMechs, which should be announced sometime in June and July, respectively. For the light BattleMech, I have a feeling it's going to be the UrbanMech. Why? Remember back in ATD 17, Garth mentioned it will come later…

Q: When the UrbanMech coming? [DrnkJawa]
A: Later. [Garth]
http://mwomercs.com/...evs-17-answers/

As for the medium BattleMech, I have a feeling it's going to be the Kintaro. Why? Remember back in ATD 20, Garth mentioned a 55 ton mech will be added at some point. That basically narrows it down to the Dervish or Kintaro. As the Dervish is very similar to the Trebuchet, it looks like the next medium is the Kintaro..

Q: The 55 ton mech you are planning to add will be an IS? [Odanan]
A: We will be adding a 55 ton Inner Sphere Mech at some point, yes. [Garth]
