Duly noted sir. War machines are serious business. I will forward your request to my CO.

As much as I am going to love these new cockpit cosmetic items, I am noticing two things. First is the serious lack of anything war themed for those that do desire to have the inside of their cockpit fit a more military theme. Second is that until the Urbie Rewards there has been a significant lack of quality in many of the items for the cockpit.

The Holo items and bobble heads were the only things that really looked good that were created for the cockpit. A good portion of the older items look really cheap and low quality for the assets. As much as I do hope those get a revision, I will be more than happy for future items for the cockpit being of the quality presented within the Urbanmech package.

I was expecting not to give a flying fart about the cockpit cosmetics for the Urbie Package back when I preordered it blind, I was in it for the mechs. I am pleasantly surprised that I am now having to debate which mechs I will be running with the Trashcan Surprise and which will be running the Stein. Also, way to make a Stein that I will actually show off in my cockpit and thank you so much for deciding to make items I do want in my cockpit instead of collecting dust in my inventory.

Yep, that's a pretty good cockpit item, Urbie-In-The-Bin. Classic.

Pop up Urbie in a trashcan? Good. I actually will use a cockpit item besides a warhorn for once. I'm eagerly looking forward to the hearing the warhorn...

Hes right. No one came close to guessing it and nothing could have prepared us for it. Im speechless.

I normally dont like silly cockpit items but the Urbie doesnt count especially when its at home.

Oh boy more cockpit items Ill never use du to their foolish nature. I get some people will like this, but to me its stupid. As are those glasses. How about some COOL cockpit items for people who dont like silly? What are you gonna give us next the dancing flower from my GFs car? I like that you put thought and effort into this, but seriously, Im in a multi ton war machine... I dont want cute silly items! I dont want a cup of coffee. I dont want flags. I want a laser pistol, a grenade, ammo box, things like that!


I already saw what others had said in response to this, but did want to point out: The Urbanmech is a mech that was never really taken seriously, which is why I bought one day 1. It's a quirky mech, so it deserves quirky and meme-filled free items to go along with the urbieness of it all. I can agree however that I wouldn't want ALL cockpit items and such to be silly. That would just be silly. But for the Urbie, I'm okay with it.

Now I'm very curious about the days 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Will they keep up with the awesomeness?

BTW, looking forward for the warhorn (hopefully it will be the sound of a toilet flush or an old car's horn)

My guess would be a garbage truck back up beeping sound. "BEEP BEEP BEEP" :)

Could be a VW beetle beep beep horn noise. Or the Roadrunner's Meep Meep...although that would be better for a Locust or Raven. Or something the other end of things...like a Train horn, or heavy metal guitar riff, or the THX theme.

DAY 5 of 11

Best standing item ever created.

Here it is. Standard edition gets one of these bad boys. Collectors get three, one for each UrbanMech in your pack. I don't know what the news post equivalent of a mic drop is, but I am doing it right now. Enjoy.





Stay tuned to this post for daily updates as we countdown the days to the UrbanMech release.


That really does live up to the hype of being the best standing item ever created on MWO. It's akin to something I'd make and for that I love it even more!
