The Zeus is unlikely to be able to mount an AC/20 in the arm.

the Zeus 5S is a worse variant of the current 6t. You wont be able to fit an AC20 along with 3 SRM launchers and using the both arms means you lose the nice Left shield side..

the Grasshopper 5p is straight upgrade to the 5N , possibly the best chassis even depending on what quirks they give it.

Enforcer.. /shrug 50 ton mechs are almost hit and miss , dont really use them

the Panther.. hmm if the quirks are towards ac2 then it is rubbish, but a more generic ballistic quirks might make this an interesting choice but again, blow the right arm and then LOL at it

So why do you think the 5P is an upgrade on the 5N ? sure you get another shoulder mount, which means you can hill hump better, but you lost the flexibility of arm mounted MPL or the ability to build a mech with an effective shield side.

I assume you get 4 mechbays with the 4 new variants, though it isn't specifically mentioned?

Yes! You do get the Mech Bays required to house these mechs. Post Updated

Can you by chance convince Russ to allow the Zeus to have an AC20 in its arm?
I'll mail you my Homemade Cookies if you do!

Just think.....COOKIES!

Wouldn't giving the Zeus an AC/20 in the arm make it a Victor?

[Ragnar Bashmek]

Being a fan of E-Mechs this all looks pretty good to me. 20 Mechs plus the other assorted goodies for $80 is great. Also has three of my old Favs from the MW1 - 4 days. Definitely be buying. Thanks PGI.

Yes.
With better Hitboxes, better engine Cap, and more Armor (if hey Quirk it the same way as previous Zeus Chassis).
What is not to love about that?

[Alienized]

no jump jets. thats why i prefer the victor over any ac20 zeus.
got RP1 and RP2 anyway so i say

CHEERS! much appreciated ^..^

I liked to have the first camo Zeus that was a great variant champions must have something else to be treated the hero mechs it was a great deals.

[Lugin]

Reminder: All of these variants are PGI designs EXCEPT the Zeus, which is one of the original prototypes for the chassis. So its actuators are known. Lower arm actuator is in both arms, no hand actuators. So no AC/20.

[The Boneshaman]

my birthday is may15th
any one want to get the resentence1 package.
I already have the panther just need the other 3

[Lugh]

I am resisting they all look *meh*

[H E I D I]

THANKS @PGI

[Hawk819]

1) I have the Resistance 1 pack

2) I only bought the Wolfhound Package

3) I won't have the money for the rest of them til after June 2nd

So what does this add up to? Simple. I don't qualify for the reward. Have fun guys; cause I sure as hell won't be able to.

[Darlith]

Aww I'd really like these mechs early as I do like my resistance 1 mechs a good bit.

Trouble is I'm not really interested in the resistance 2 mechs, certainly not enough to dig up $80 for them and $80 for just the four mechs here I am interested in is too much to butcher my budget for.

Still it is a nice little bonus to those who are interested in the resistance 2 pack, so kudos.

[H A M M]

So as a new player with no purchased mechs yet I'm not opposed to pay to avoid early grinding. If I'm reading this right if i purchased both res1 and res2 packs for $200.00 today i would get the 12 mechs from res1 pack then another 20 mechs as they are released?

[Sagamore]

If only one of the bonus mechs had ECM.

Yes. However, you're going to have to grind c-bills to make the mechs more competitive. Even if you were a good player you would be playing them with a severe disadvantage stock. And I think the total would be $160, not $200.
