To those who are wondering about other Mechs: Assuming no hiccups in testing or conflicts in release strategy, we still hope to have our usual week one Hero Mech releases and week three Mech of the Month releases each month alongside the Clan Mech releases.

So, according to NGNG Podcast #103: Bryan Ekman Part 3
they will do the clan pack mechs 1 per month
AND
during those 8 months they will also release a IS mech each month.
They will look at it during those 8 months and might stay with 2 mechs per month after it.

The mech part is starting around 32:30.
The Mauler is also mentioned. Concept art for it is being done right now.

And...

Russ said we're having 3 'mechs per month come June, consisting of 2 Clan and 1 IS. So if they release a light and medium in June etc., we could may well have the Hellbringer in October!

Well i hope one of them is a Guillotine. after that, i'm fine with whatever mech they put out next. (though Zeus would be nice too, but the GLT's first)

Doesn't necessarily clash with the tweet.

On the other hand - PGI does have their reputation for out of reach goals for a reason after all.

the context appears to be passes on existing mechs, not new ones.

Oh i see. then i would like to see a BlackJack-2 and the Centurion-AH.
And i hope Cataphracts and Centurions get visual customization updates aswell.

The Guillotine was clearly designed as an homage to the Martians from the 1953 version of The War of the Worlds.


Bottom cockpit window = red eye, right cockpit window = green eye, left cockpit window = blue eye...

The hero Guillotine could be named "Thunder Child" (which is also a pretty awesome song from the 1978 musical version and the 2012 re-recording, BTW)...

Yeah. At this point, the -AH might as well be a "giveaway" like the Thunderbolt-9S if they don't want it in regular rotation.

Actually it means that currently underused and underperforming mechs get quirks.

As for new mechs, i posted already that Russ wrote on twitter that they have a super secret plan but cant tell us because its super secret.

Some nice examples of the PGI way.


My premium run out tonight and i dont see me refreshing it anytime soon.
All mechs are mastered and i have almost 500 million Cbills.

My premium ran out a couple of days ago and I have almost 500 thousands Cbills (no matter what, I can't save money).

Could it be the "2nd Wave Invasion"?

(Hellbringer, come to papa)

[Odanan]

Well, unless they fired all those 3D and 2D artists, they are making new mechs. Let's see if these mechs are some Inner Sphere goodies (as promised) or just the next Clan pack.

[Odanan]

BTW, I can't believe I missed that:

Yes Alex has been pushing for this for a while. Next time were talking about Assault mechs I will be sure to bring up the subject.

Its either a 4 or 8 clan mech pack or a clanbuster pack.

Other options that dont work
Some IS mech pack (might not sell very well, highly depending on the mechs)
Unseen mech pack (Chance to happen below 1 %, would be easy made money for PGI and HG)
Prototype mech pack (future mechs like the Bushwacker)
Star League mech pack

A 4 Clan omnimech "reinforcement" pack would make sense... They don't need MASC (or AP pods) for this:

Misty Linx (Alt. C has ECM)
Viper or Ice Ferret
Mad Dog
Gargoyle

[MeiSooHaityu]

Axman FTW!

Yea yea...no multiple variants, no melee for the axe, etc...yada yada yada...

Darn it, I want an Adam Steiner Axman lol.
