Yep, they upped the armor on the Hellbringer Prime instead of installing the A-Pods.

Everybody saw at this point, but here:

Something intriguing: the Hellbringer Prime doesn't have AP-pods or 2 DHS as replacements (as predicted). Will it come with 2 free tons?

It got more armor.

[Ovion]

Already got mine.
Well, paid at any rate... still waiting for confirmation from PGI rather than just Paypal...

Loving the look of all of it.
Especially the Clan Ghost Bear skin and Colours.

[Ovion]

Wow, that bar took aaaaaaaages to fill up.

Bring on bundled together whatever IS mechs* PGI has in the pipeline!

or... release early the Clanbuster Pack.
(Hussar, Wyvern, Black Knight)

*if I could choose:
Light: UrbanMech!
Medium: Clint, or Sentinel, or Vulcan, or Assassin... still so many medium options
Heavy: Lancelot
Assault: Zeus, or Charger, or Hatamoto, or Mauler (I wish!)

So, I updated my 'all' image, with some 'preview' shots:


Needs more Lights.
Needs the Urbie.

Looks great, but .....still see issues.

Yes, they will probably fix that when working on the model (like they did with the Stalker).

yeah though that might make the final product look significantly different. =/

YEAH that would go great with your dream of burst fire ACs.... only able to bring it's gun to bear on shutdown mechs, because it can't track anything else.....

I call that "Phase 2 of my plan to conquer Terra". Glad you approve

[Wieland]

I wonder about the variants for the King Crab.

KGC-000
The Prime Variant

KGC-0000
A bit less armor than 000.

KGC-000b
Royal only. So far Royal variants where a no go.

KGC-010
All left with Kerensky on the Exodus. Knowledge about it non existant in the Inner Sphere.

KGC-001
Clanbuster. 3052 Comstar only.

All other variants are even later than Clanbuster and use unavailable tech.

That leaves only 2 possible variants, KGC-000 and KGC-0000, that are not much different, unless PGI doesnt care about lore anymore.
