Did not, in a million years, see this coming.

The interesting thing is, with the Victor in July and the Flea in August that leaves a gap in September, as the phoenix mechs start in October. Maybe the Orion as release mech?

Oh, and, remember? They had 6 mechs ready. Victor, Quickdraw and the 4 phoenix mechs.

They had 6 yes, Victor and Quickdraw plus those phoneix project mechs.

They spoilered themselves that we'll have at least 7 mechs per class, since heavies considering QD and Orion become 6 already and the Thunderbolt would be nr. 7.

So the "risk" is to get covered up with new "official" mech releases up to january and then up to April considering the 7th missing chassis in the 3 remaining weight classes (light, meds, assaults). So the further risk is to get 8 mechs per class pushing clans virtually to a whole year if not more from now.

yay... chance of ever seeing a Zeus again in a Mechwarrior Title: 0.0000000000000000000000000% :|

As I posted in the Phoenix leaked topic.

Now we know why the Flea (Locust clone) and the Orion (Thunderbolt clone) were delayed... and why the Zeus (Battlemaster clone) will never make it.

PS: goodbye Dervish. We will never miss you.

no. If the Macross Unseens had been done THEN I woulda done so. Or a Griffin or Wolverine. (or PHX) For these, I just got a turtle poking it's head out.

Battlemaster. Pros: the reseen is in the new Battletech’s logo; a command mech (several variants have command console) that would shine in the role warfare; iconic mech and a fan favorite – to finally play with it in a MW game would be quite nice. Cons: energy boat (as the Awesome); huge cockpit; but the most important: maybe the devs won’t use any of the Reseen/Unseen at all (see text below).[/color]

Was Playable in Mech2 and NetMech FYI

BTW, good guessing by bringing the Battlemaster right in this glorious moment.

[Odanan]

I'm an Overlord Phoenix now. (now let's see the variants of the Reseens)

I WANT IT!

So yea... reseens... I totally didn't see this coming.

[Colddawg]

holy hell i was right!? I kept calling "redesigned unseen/reseen" and look what was announced today!

yes. a broken clock is still right twice a day

[Phoenix Branson]

Do you guys think we still have 3 remaining Inner Sphere BattleMech announcements (light, medium, & assault) in addition to Project Phoenix? I'm still hoping for the UrbanMech, Vulcan, and Banshee.

It looks like the Shadow Hawk will fill the 55 ton bracket.

[Colddawg]

probably.

However I think that the "6 mechs ready for release" were the Victor, Quickdraw, and project Phoenix.

[Butane9000]

Current mechs:

20 Ton Lights
Flea
Locust
25 Ton Lights
Commando
30 Ton Lights
Spider
35 Ton Lights
Jenner
Raven
40 Ton mediums
Cicada
45 Ton Mediums
Blackjack
50 Ton Mediums
Hunchback
Centurion
Trebuchet
55 Ton Mediums
Shadow Hawk
60 Ton Heavies
Dragon
Quickdraw
65 Ton Heavies
Catapault
Jagermech
Thunder Bolt
70 Ton Heavies
Cataphract
75 Ton heavies
Orion
80 Ton Assaults
Awesome
Victor
85 Ton Assaults
Stalker
Battlemaster
90 Ton Assaults
Highlander
95 Ton Assaults
Empty weight class(Here's hoping for the Banshee)
100 Ton Assaults
Atlas

That's a total of 25 Inner Sphere mechs. That leaves us with 7 more slots (long ago devs stated they were aiming for 32).

Lights currently have 6.
Mediums currently have 6
Heavies currently have 7.
Assaults currently have 6.

So we could see 2 more lights, mediums and assaults and 1 heavy.

My guesses?

Light
Firestarter
Hermes

Medium
Sentinel/Clint (Clint because of the possible IIC version)
Vindicator

Heavy
Guillotine (possible IIC variant)

Assault
Banshee
Zeus/Cyclops (could go either way)

And of course let's not forget the 16 clan omnimechs and their second line (Locust IIC, Jenner IIC, Hunchback IIC, Shadow Hawk IIC, Highlander IIC).

Reseens! Nice, but i'm not interested, cause i was never a fan of the unseen/reseen mechs. I'll spend no money to PGI, until the Clans and their stuff are reday for launch. For now, my good ol' IS founder trashcans are good enough.

They should release the typical concept art pictures of these phoenix reseens, cause the "Repainted concept art-Thread" could need some new stuff.

Yes, yes, yes!

[Jack Gallows]

Yes, want my hands on the templates for the concepts of the new mechs. Already working on a big 4 mech and story post for the Repainted Concept Art thread and those would give me fuel for even more repaint goodness.

Also, where did they confirm that the Phoenix mech launch would be staggered? FAQ says you get it delivered on the 15th? Sorry if this has been discussed but hard to find specific info on my phone.

And lastly, pleaaase please give us a Wolverine!!!!
