Ok.. so i have to wonder how armor is going to work on the urbie.. the mech has no arms. so how are you going to block?


1, Do you A, make your torso, and side torso much higher armor/internal,....

2, OR do you add panels, that act like arms?


anyone have any clue what it is? we saw the screenie, and i just can't guess.. thoughts on this?


Personally, i think it should have arm like armor.... but really i think the higher torso, could also work so i an really torn..


soo if you had a choice what would you pick?

360 degree torso twist.

I'm going to macro the hell out of my mouse, so I can engage DEATH BLOSSOM mode with the click of a button.



This will spin the torso at maximum speed, whist firing all weapons once per revolution when the torso is centered. DAMAGE WILL SPREAD LIKE CRAZY, AND ALL WILL CRUMBLE BEFORE MY DOOM SPRINKLER.





URBIE SPIN ATTAAAAAAAAACK







GRACEFUL LIKE AN URBIE BALLERINA





THE HILLS ARE ALIIIIIIIIVE, WITH THE SOUNDS OF URBIE

The mech has arms and all the components that every other mech has, so it'll be just like any other light.

Yep. The "armless" variant isn't one of the ones that got put in- fluffwise, it was a failure anyway and didn't last long.

I fully expect some yahoo to equip one with nothing but MGs and small lasers so he can whirl around spraying dakka and pew pew like some kind of 30-ton lawn sprinkler of death.

I am halfway expecting one quirk on the Urbies that will set them apart from other mechs....

Through Armor Criticals.
