Guys, I wanted to change the name of the thread for "Mech Discussion" or "General Mech Discussion". What do you think?

[FireSlade]

Mech Discussion sounds more open since we will talk just about anything Battletech related.

[ReguIus]

Well, since PGI has regretfully given up feeding us their art, I'm all for it..

For cheering you up:

[Bishop Steiner]

more mechs to cheer up everyone!!!!!


all the 40 tonners of 3025.

[Wieland]

Lets see.

The Zeus, i hope we get it after they fill the weight gap with the Banshee. The fins look good, but would be bad for the hitbox.

Bishop´s new Marauder, alot better than the first one. Only the AK looks a bit out of place.

mgto´s Warhammer, the arms, hmm, i guess i could live with them. The shoulder launcher, move it in the shoulder, where that large armor plate is and HG cant say ****.

It will be in game, probably in 2014.
And it will probably be able to torso twist (like the Cicada and Locust).

FTFY.

Or would you prefer the sentinel continue to look like a hybrid of a ostrich and a bowling bowl?

and if you couldn't ID the Assassin, one of us really needs to brush up on the salient features.

Community Created: Current and future mech discussion thread?

I hope PGI will pin this thread ASAP. But as usual they fail to listen..

Actually, I forgot to add it to the list.

But the Sentinel... isn't the cannon arm without lower arm actuator?

[Odanan]

According to the last ATD, the next light hero mech will be released in Spring. It looks like it's the Flea. (or Firestarter or UrbanMech?)

So I believe they will, instead of doing all the Founder's mechs first, make heroes for the heavier chassis (eyes on the $). That said, in December it will be... Quickdraw?

yup. based it off the Centurion. Just cuz it doesn't have the actuator don't mean it has to jut out like a lnace.

It does lack the LAA, though Bishop's rendition (especially on the larger version of the picture) does look more like the weapon arm is attached in a way that largely, if not completely, prevents lateral tracking separately from the torso.

Now, if one really wanted to nit-pick: RS3039U indicates (on pg. 179 of 500 of the PDF version) that the CDA-3C (the same Cicada variant that is "supposed to" have the MGs in the legs ) has LAAs and Hand Actuators in both arms...

wait....*GASP*

an error in the record sheets?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Hand and arm actuators where they don't belong (like the on the RFL-3N rifleman on the originals). They must have them. After all, they are the definitive reason why my KGC cannot be allowed to happen!
