These variants look like they're going to be monsters.

I hope the HBK-IIc gets some max armor reduction quirks.

[Wintersdark]

Wow. The Jenner IIC-2 can mount 10 jump jets? Imagine that, 10 JJ, 4 SPL, XL315. That thing will fly.

[FupDup]

Hmm, so some of them are getting hardpoint inflation after all. Also, same engine caps as their IS counterparts, except the Jenny (which is capped at 315 instead of 300).

[Ingga Raokai]

uh-oh, here we go again

[Wintersdark]

I'm concerned about some of them. HBKIIC isn't too bad, as the HBK line is heavily quirked. However, the Jenner and Highlander lines? Both IS versions are very lightly quirked at best; these are looking like direct, substantial upgrades.

A very sadistic part of me wants to grab the PGI laserboat Hunchie IIC and put a Clan LPL in each shoulder. I'm feeling evil right now...

[Domoneky]

OMGZ GUYZ DEZ MEKS R TOO PAY2WIN/DEAD ON ARRIVAL/OVERPOWERED!!!!111!!!! NEEDS NERFZ!!1!!

(I miss these. I really do.)

[Crotch RockIt]

My god, the Jenner IIC is everything the Oxide should have been and more. Six missile hard points, JJ, and clan weapons, and a huge engine cap??? The power creep is real.

2 LPL, 4 ERML, DHS. You'll have.... 34t available, I think McGral said? 35? 12t of LPL, 4t of ERML, 2t of 4 JJ's, that's 18t. Even at 34, that's still leaving enough room for 24 DHS if you stick with the stock engine. Of course, you'd upgrade to a ~250 rated engine for 10 TrueDubs, but you're still going to end up with ~22 DHS or so.

I hope they seriously revisit IS Jenners and Highlander's quirks before these launch. I really do.

PGI said that they gave the Oxide 4 missiles instead of 6 because it would be too good at murdering lights (because of MWO's Streak-SRM mechanics). But now they're giving us a fully un-nerfed Oxide that gets lighter and longer-ranged Streaks, JJs, and all of the other Clan-tech benefits...Wut.

However, it does still have the Arctic Cheetah to compete with, which will probably be more durable (if the Jenny IIC has the same hitboxes as the IS version).

[Helios Pryde]

Will it be possible to change ferro/endo or the egine?
These things look evil on first look.
I´am very exited!

Given that they listed the max engine cap as being higher than the stock engine, engine changing is pretty much confirmed.

I would expect Endo/FF to be that way as well, but the FAQ isn't up yet for some reason...

[Fenrisian Wolf]

Great now I gotta get this too..... Cant wait

[DrSlamastika]

Nice toys ! ! ! ! I ll take jenners and hunchies.

[Bloodweaver]

That primary Jenner IIC variant and all but one of the Hunchback IIC variants are making me HNNNNNNNGGGG all over the place...!

Amusingly, though, the Highlander variants are all (hardpoint-wise) direct copies of existing IS Highlanders... lol

EDIT: Aside from the ST laser and missile positions being switched, that is.

*Throws wallet at the screen*

Take my money... again!!

[Locutos]

I need to know,
are they using Clantech, IS-tech or a mix of both ?
couse the Engines, Endo-Steel and Ferro-Fibrous seems changeable.
or is there a plan to upgrate the IS weapon collection

i dont know if i get a ISMech with Clanweapons, or a ClanMech with more customisation.

[Deathz Jester]

Just.... take all my money

The biggest difference here is that the Oxide is a hero. As soon as a hero mech is made really good, the cries of "P2W" start to rise.
