Another bunch of variants, I think? Russ' tweet said that April/May would be different to normal months and the way he phrased it seemed to imply we'd see the same thing in both.

Maybe it'll be hero Blackjack/Quickdraw/whatever variants, but variants nonetheless. Given how little effort it probably takes to change hardpoint layouts, even for hero variants you'd only be looking at the unique camos.

Good bet there will be a hero Blackjack or Quickdraw soon. PGI solicited ideas for heroes for those two from the NGNG forums earlier this month. Personally hoping for "The Arrow" and "IV-Four" and not just because I submitted variants for those either. They are time line friendly and come from the same canon fluff as Pretty Baby and The Death's Knell.

Is anyone else now finding themselves incapable of unseeing the smiley face on the Madcat?

Well, there is also that "TaterMech" image that's been floating about...

So, how about "JokerMech"/"WhySoSeriousMech"?

Holy crap...I hadn't seen that before...LOL. They posted this in the "Last 50!" Madcat thread PGI started. I just noticed that the gold-color really evoked a 'smiley face' for me lol.

Hmph. Still a Timber Wolf, but if you must call it a Mad Cat, think less angry and more criminally insane. There, the smile is fully justified.

shame AlphaStrike is such a braindead version of Battletech. From reading the rules, I would rather go back to Clix and MW:DA than to waste money on AlphaStrike........ ;)

Alpha Strike is more like Fast Food of battletech.

Though my posting is more on enjoying Mech Art from Alex ;)

There is the advantage that you can use all the cool rules from TacOps - but its a shame that damage and armor distribution was streamlined in such manor - but the Artwork is very good indeed

Alpha Strike was meant for large scale combat IIRC. I haven't purchased it cause I don't TT anymore.

I'm finding it hilarious how the modeling team managed to get the Adder and Stormcrow so right and then put IS legs on the Madcat.

The Madcat would look so much better with either of those leg sets and the Clans have been all about reusing parts, just upscale it.

But whatever, haven't bought the clans and don't plan to even after CBill release. The IS is even better for the Munchkin inside of me.

So I did it, I bought the $240 clan package. I do not feel regret over the purchase but I do feel this is going to be my last major one for some time to come....
