Aaaaw yiss. xD

It's funny because the Urbie will probably end up outclassing the Pretty Baby.

Or maybe... It's all just the most elaborate April Fools day prank of all time! On April 2nd, they'll reveal they were never really going to release the mech, and tough luck to all those who paid already!

Lol, I suspect the Urbie fans would declare a Jihad, WOB style XD

this crossed my mind as i pushed the buy button

It absolutely has to come 4/1.

(I'm on vacation from 4/8.)

[HammerMaster]

Still no screenie next to a proto-mech sized spider.

[Revener]

It is still to small at the top compared to the legs......

That's perfect for you, though! You have 24/7 to Urban it up on Vacation!

Tiny at 106.9 with AC10? Take their money!

All we need now for Urbie is a proper war horn. I recommend the Mini Me "Eeeee"
For reference only:

[Sabertooth1966]

Need to add a paint pattern to it so that at least the torso and arms can be painted to look like an R2 unit

I'm pretty sure that's the origin of the Urbanmech: R2D2 transposed into Battletech.

Another weak Inner Sphere mech i'm going to enjoy ripping to pieces. My Captured Grasshopper will enjoy destroying these walking trashcans with ease.
On a serous note. the mech looks cool. And I honestly cant wait to see how well it dose. But I cant see it being very successful in any map other then River City.

Lifting their leg on canon again with another (most likely broken) IS mech. The Arctic Cheetah had better be damned good.

So PGI can nerf it properly.

I like that "damned good" if that was an intentional pun. How fitting.

Yes, I fear that the Arctic Cheetah will be good and damned once people cry and it gets hit with the nerf bat. I am curious if people will cry "P2W" if the Urban Mech ends up truly being OP, or if they are just hypocrites and only cry about Clan mech s.

[Paulwrath]

If I can have the following paint jobs I will buy it:

• R2D2 Skin
  
• Dalek Skin
  
• Oscar the Grouch Skin

Also would like to have matching Warhorns from their respective characters.

I think the torso needs to be bigger. Its too tiny compared to those legs IMO.

That is so the hitboxes can be small and overlap, so it can take more damage than an Atlas.

Meh I'm glad a bunch of people will buuy a trash mech be an easy kill for me.

'Should' be an easy kill for you.

How big is it next to a Jenner? Or the proto-mech sized Spider?

Proto-mech-sized?


This thing?

Compares to these?


When a lightly armored scout Shadowhawk at 55 tons...

A heavily armored Wolverine at 55 tons...

A Dragon at 60 tons...

And these guys...

?

If anything the spider's about right, if a little tall.

Compare this to the Shadowhawk's headroom.

Admittedly the spider cockpit we see (from inside) is HUGE!

On a side note, I think lil' Urby there is probably one of the few appropriately scaled mechs (and yes I'm picky...

Spoiler

about the nearly 18 meter tall Banshee, 17.6 meter tall Atlas, etc... when Banshee's meant to be 14, Atlas around 13-ish, Executioner the tallest mech to exist up til 3065 at 14.4 meters [when funny enough the Centurion is 14.7])

It's kinda scary to say this, but I'm content with the Urbie's size. Looks to be in the 9 to 10 meter tall range.

[Zookeeper Dan]

I'm looking forward to following an Atlas around shooting enemies while poking out from between it's legs.

As long as I can keep up with the Atlas!
