About the Hero Mechs, if they are what we think they are:

JR7-K Jenner Grace - not much chance, but Ferro Fibrous and Endo Steel.

JR7-K Jenner Samuli - XL and Endo Steel.

Yen-Lo-Wang - not going to make it, because there is no melee in the game yet.

HBK-4G Hunchback Shakir - no change at all.

DRG-2Y Dragon Yorioshi - very different from the original Dragon variants - good possibility.

Catapult CPLT-C1 Jenny "Butterbee" - nothing different (hardpoints wise).

AS7-WGS Atlas Samsonov - could be different: if there are more energy hardpoints in the arms and no missile hardpoints in the side torso.

AS7-D Atlas Danielle - same as the previous, but still with a missile hardpoint in the side torso.

AWS-9Q Klatt - won' t do it.

More information here.

Call me Crazy but I want an old Champion! I think a CHP-2N fits the timeline right?

The Champion barely fits the timeline... but it has enough (and interesting variants). I think the greatest problem is the fact that the Champion is too much similar to the Dragon (same speed, same tonnage and very compatible loadout).

So, Cicada will be playable tomorrow (October, 16) and we will know what the heck is that "hero mech".

This and several other features:

Endo Steel, Double Heat Sinks, Ferro-Fibrous Armor, Artemis, PIP Zoome Module and Pilot Skill, 3 Pilot Skils.

Double Heat Sinks, man!

I think it will be hard to sleep tonight.

Here's another crazy one! ;)
I'm still waiting for the Champ. CHP-1N2 would be nice.

I knew someone would find her! Long story short, pee off the side of the Mech... never stumble off into the woods assuming you know your way back.. Return to me fair Marauder, you are missed so. ;)

It looks like she is lost in the woods for the last 40 years... how much PPC did you drink?

This may be a little off topic but as far as the mechs go will any of them be playable whe Open Beta hits or we gotta wait on them?

Aside the ones that we can already play of course!

Except it won't. They just delayed the patch with an estimated date of Oct. 23rd. Though that isn't a "hard" date.

I was right about the concept art (Highlander)!

Odanan, you will need to update your list now, lol.
The next mech is going to be a medium, maybe Blackjack.

I would like to see the Kintaro, and the Orion, but the next two may be the Grasshopper, and the Dervish.

I think it was the leftover coolant that did me in, as for the camo... we primed it and got too busy on raids to finish painting.
