You get my full support Norris. I will even stop playing MWO until the next art is announced.

According to the most recent NGNG recording, Garth is on... vacation.

Not releasing 'mech 20 has to be a marketing deal, or just that they've got something semi special and are waiting to let it out. They probably don't want too long a wait between final IS 'mech and Clan release, but who knows? I don't mind the wait, even if it can be hard. We all know whatever it is, it's going to look SUPERB because anything Alex touches turns to gold. (Hopefully not literally, that'd make for crappy armor.)

I'm very excited for his take on various Clan 'mechs, his art style for 'mechs is just so spot on it's ridiculous. Every 'mech is instantly recognizable as what it's supposed to be appears functional and militaristic.

Still hoping for Cyclops or the Hatamoto-Chi, unless we get some kind of special curve ball no one was expecting (like the Spanish Inquisition!)

UUuuuuuugggghhhh.... uuuh.

I am disappoint!

Really wanted to see the King Crab or Banshee or something fun but instead we got hero Cicada. Hero mechs don't count as a mech announcement!
Sad times.

So if it were to be the Banshee announced, think the size and hit locations will be similar to the Atlas?

[Ens]

i think so...
though the banshee would be nice, too ( you all should know by now, i´m a effin ZEUS LOVER!! )

someone stated that the banshee would only be an atlas on atkins diet

actually the Banshee has much less weapons than an Atlas but is twice as fast. It would make for a really good Assault shoot and scoot mech to support the Atlas as the Atlas is smashing stuff in close.

Some variants have more weapons than the Atlas. And it`s not twice as fast.
The primary Banshee is 64.8 km/h while the Atlas is 48.6 km/h.

I should have expected a lack of announcements when they de-stickied this thread. Down to regular thread status, its like they want us to forget there should be another assault coming!

Also - I think they will release 4 clan mechs at the start of invasion, kinda like the 4 original mechs they started with for IS.

If Alex does it right the Banshee will be slightly taller but slimmer at the waist with the side torsos less pronounced though the weapons will be no less visible. In MPBT Solaris and 3025 the Banshee was always a pain to take down because one of the many tactics players used was to fire and turn the whole 'mech away only exposing one side which essentially gave it the side profile of a 2" by 4" piece of lumber. Now granted MWO functions at a much different pace than the previously mentioned titles but I am just using them as an example to help draw a better mental picture of how it has been portrayed many times in the past. Only time will tell.

I hope not, isn't the Spanish Inquisition one of those silly Dark Age mechs . Personally I'm not a huge fan of the Banshee and I hope its the Zeus; the Cyclops or Hatamoto-Chi would be cool though. If I had to place money on it I'm going to go with the Banshee as the next mech (although when I tried to put money on it, my bookie just hung up the phone for some reason).
