Cant stand the waiting too... hope they allow the AC 20 version. Nothing says hello more nicely than 90t falling from the sky and removing the target from the field with large bore shells and missiles

now if your able alpha strike the head of a mech before you land your DFA, you know that it will fall dead to the ground, jjetting mech with torso weapons will have a hard time doing that.

Where IS Mech20? It's been so long now. I swear I was expecting some sort of large Founder's Program for the Clans this week and instead got consumables.

This is how I would feel in the Highlander, and yes I would be singing the song too!

Skip to 0:40 since youtube is terrible.

Classic! I think I damaged my old VHS for rewinding that scene over and over... (it is still frustrating that Optimus Prime get cheated in the end)

EDIT: ohh crap, there is another Transformers-thing in the second half, It ruins the video. What is that? Beast Wars-something? I hate it.

My idea for a hero mech Hunchback. I think it would be an interesting addition to the current Hunchback line ups. Aside from the 4N.

Hunchback... it has many variants and covers all possible weapon variants...

I don't think it's the mech that really needs some special variants. I'd much rather see a Rifleman-esque Jagermech.

They'd make more money if they simply emulated the Hunchback IIC.

No JJ's though, obviously.

It has the possibility of emulating the IIC inside. When I was designing it is when it hit me you could make a IIC out of it. Though without the Jump Jets.

Edit: Ask the Devs 33 Answers are out. Again they ignored my question on Battlemech #20. If you really want to know, make sure come Monday when they do Ask the Devs 34 you all ask "Where is Battlemech #20". Flood the thread with this and they will get the message.

Now I asked in the last ask the devs which should post the answers this Friday where Battlemech #20 is. If they refuse to answer (because that was the only question I asked) then we ALL need to ask the very same question. Not just like mine as was done for the Ask the devs before us.


Do you have any plans on how to coordinate the whole community not to ask anything else... at all?

I am telling you guys, it is because Garth is on vacation and no one else will take up the job.

I already got annoyed over this **** with Viterbi and he told he'd mention the fact that they're not doing this for any real reason at the next meeting between PGI and IGP.

If this is true it makes me very angry. Bunch of lazy bums, talking to the community isn't that hard. Look at all the recent command chair stuff!

I would like to see the Black Knight as the next mech...obviously, it will not be the next one, but after the Orion would be nice.
I feel it is a better mech. Good speed, lots of different weapons, excellent armor.

The Black Knight is an energy boat, it offers much less variety than the Orion.

And I say this as a guy who loves the Black Knight.
