DAY 1 of 11

The UrbanMech Stein.

This Stein was part of the early bird special and was represented by an image of the UrbanMech pasted on our standard Stein model. Well, our art department decided they could do better than that and this is the result. We really like the upgraded look and hope you will too. If you didn't get in on the early bird rewards these steins will be also available for 500 MC on April 7th.

DAY 2 of 11

Hanging Item.

When piloting an UrbanMech, these 8-bit sunglasses remind your enemies they are just going to have to "Deal with it". The standard edition UrbanMech Package gets 1 of this hanging Item while the Collectors edition will get 3. Oh Yeah!

DAY 3 of 11

Badges.

The UrbanMech Standard Edition pack comes with 1 Badge and Title. The Collectors Edition has a second exclusive Badge and Title. Today we are showing off the Badges. Can you guess the titles before they are revealed tomorrow?

<<Standard Edition | Collectors Edition >> +

DAY 4 of 11

Titles.

Here are the Titles for the Standard and Collectors Edtion, Civil Servant and Urban Commando. Fitting titles for our friendly neighbourhood UrbanMech don't you think? Tomorrow we will be showing off the cockpit standing item. It is quite possibly the best standing item ever created.

Civil Servant <<Standard Edition | Collectors Edition >> Civil Servant + Urban Commando

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.

DAY 6 of 11

UrbanMech Special Attack.

The UrbanMech is getting closer than ever! Today is a special day and we are very excited to announce the UrbanMechs’ 360 torso twist has allowed us to create our first special attack in Mechwarrior Online. The UrbanMech special attack mode is code named “Death Blossom”. Check out this video to see it in action.

DAY 7 of 11

Collectors Edition Special Variant Paint and Geo.

Check out the Collectors Edition Paint job and Special Geometry. Not only does it look amazing but this Mech earns a 30% C-Bill bonus in each match. The only way to get this variant of the UrbanMech is to purchase the Collectors Edition. More screens are included in the forum thread.

DAY 8 of 11

UrbanMech Warhorn.

Today we reveal the UrbanMech Warhorn. Like the 8-bit glasses and the Trashcan standing item, standard edition gets one of each cockpit item while the collectors get's 3 of each cockpit item. This preview also shows off some scenery from the upcoming Community Warfare map. This is releasing the same day as the UrbanMech. What are you waiting for? Buy your UrbanMech pack today.

[luigi256]

I will actually put that urbanmech stein in my cockpit. It looks way cooler than any of the other ones we have already.

[TercieI]

Holy cats, that stein is amazing.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Yeah. What about the quircks?..

[Morgana]

[Dawnstealer]

[Twilight Fenrir]

Haha, wow, you Urbanmech fanatics sure are getting a lot of love! I don't recall any other release ever getting a countdown That pack must have sold like gangbusters!

Well good for you! I have to say, I'm not even a member of the Church of Urbie... But I'm excited to see it come, too.

And that Stein sure is Urbarific!

+10% more Torso Twist compared to the normal Urbie

[sycocys]

I have to say that if your art guys put that much effort into the rest of the cockpit items you'd probably see a lot more sales on them.

Well it's probably because of the new Community Manager
Hope Wave III gets something similar

[Rebel Ace Fryslan]

mmmm, you know a glassed beer-stein is better to drink beer out.
That all metal is a bit over the top.


PS: Can you plz uprate the mechbay visually (it needs more life) , and the person in the cockpit (especially the texture), cockpit maybe too.

[jay35]

That stein looks very nice!

[Felicitatem Parco]

So, do we get a free case of UrbieStout with this stein?

[Jalthibuster]

I still expect some sneaky Hot Fix introducing the Urby on April 1st.

[Johny Rocket]

I'm exited about this for very different reason. Slow slow mech = easy target practice.

Yes Tina is awesome. You are a very lucky community.
Yes we want to do more of this for every preorder release like the Clan Wave III.
