I will buy at least the Timber Wolf A La Carte in the next few weeks. If things go very well in June, I might upgrade my purchase.


It'd be really difficult for me to withhold my money if they threw the Mad Dog/Vulture in that package... seriously...

The Mad Cat/Timber Wolf is an upgraded Vulture.
Same speed, same play-style, much more armor, much more firepower.

A Ti Tsang perhaps?

The left one might be a Shen Yi whereas the one dropping behind the Emperor could be a Vindicator...

Hm..... I think the one behind and above the emperor is just an attempt to make the Thunder not look like total {Scrap}.

Props to those who called the Firestarter. I still think the Javelin will be added into the game at a later point.

I would hope that eventually all the mechs will be added.

One can dream.

Given that they have 9 mediums and ultimately they may want an even number of chassis on each weight class:

2 More lights

2 More heavies

3 more assualts

My guesses?

Lights: Javelin & Hermes

Heavies: Grasshopper & Guillotine

Assaults: Zeus, Banshee & King Crab

4 energy and 4 ballistic slots + JJ, this will be an interesting mech.

Possible other variants
H (2550 the prime variant)
6 energy 2 ballistic JJ

A (the first Firestarter Model)
8 energy JJ

K (build at the same time as the A variant)
5-7 energy JJ (subpar to the others, introduction unlikely)

S (3049)
7 energy JJ 2 AMS Beagle Endo

S1 (3049)
7 energy JJ 2 AMS ECM Endo (another light with ECM?)

When is the C-bill version coming out? If Febuary and March are Wolverine and Griffin am I going to have to wait until April? I can't recall two mechs being released in the same month before.
