Look. okay, this has been discussed WAY to long now. The only thing you need to know, is 12 goddamn machine guns

I looked up for the very first battlemech created and the Mackie looks like it could be the Urbanmech's maker.

The Bellerophon was started in 2442 but variants for it weren't made until 3079 unfortunately. Looks like a long-armed 'mech.

The Swordsman only has one variant but looks pretty cool.

Hector! We need ED-209 with us! http://www.sarna.net...28BattleMech%29

Another problem is it might be impossible for those names to be even green-lit by HG no matter what they look like.

You could make a Marauder look totally different, but if it's a robot with 2 legs, that might be enough for HG to vote no and threaten a lawsuit if it's made.

Even if HG had no leg to stand on, PGI is not going to tempt legal action. I would assume those mechs may never get made as long as HG can prevent it.

As I understand it they have no hold on the names.

They could make a 75 ton 'mech called the Marauder that was really just a re-worked Orion and they couldn't do anything about it.

All I want is my Flea it was previewed before then ignored. At least that is how I saw it.

more they couldn't make MASC work because anything over 180 is breaking the game's speed limit.
Russ said the Flea was dead to him. just buy a locust, same thing.

Russ: Hey, Alex, I'd like you to draw up the Firemoth.

Alex: Firemoth? Which mech is that?

My list is simple, one personal favorite and then two others I would like to see to fill out some 1 mech in a tonnage holes.

1. Hatamoto - I am part of the DCMS, it's a must.
2. Assassin - Nice, very mobile 40 toner that PGI can give some interesting hard points to.
3. Black Knight - 75 tonner, energy based with the ECM IS needs in a heavy.

[KuroNyra]

Mauler, Crab, Hatamoto

Wrong, totally can happen if PGI wants to.

Black Knight, cuz we need more Laser Vomit mechs.

You may be right about the Black knight, most of my reservations against it were purely aesthetics, when you break down the rule possibilities it would be a nice off-set to the Clan Hellbells.

Nope. If PGI would like to make use of those mechs they can quickly secure the rights to do so.

yes which is proof PGI just hates the community, we get topics at least once a month begging and pleading for the unseen mechs, and PGI just looks down on us like ants and laughs!

couldn't possibly be because of horrible US copy-right laws, broken legal systems that are easy to exploit if you got the cash and Harmony gold being greedy *****.

Error. Insufficient variants.
Only 1 available in this timeline. The next one, MAL-C not available until 3051.

The next one isn't available until 3060.

I'm quite certain no one would fault them for making up two other variants. They've done this before, I believe?

They should add the Urbanmech!
oh wait.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

I used to play the "not enough variants" card too, but after the Enforcer (only 2 valid variants), all best are off.

they would be breaking some glaciers if they made a new piece of equipment too.

Because it doesn't do anything useful, should fit right in.
