Those shoulders look kinda big...

Likely not a great idea to take missiles in the arms if you like keeping your arms.

But... high mounted energy hardpoints...

Well, I was probably going to run all energy anyway...

[Destructicus]

I'd wait to see it next to to other lights before I cry "OMG IT'S HUGE"
But I must admit it looks pretty big

PGI owes me new pants again.

[Wintersdark]

But those hard points... Oh, God.

[Mechteric]

As long as its about the size of a Firestarter (if not a bit shorter) it will probably be fine

[Will9761]

It looks like a tiny mauler.

[Alistair Winter]

So... the Messiah of Clan lights has 2 energy hardpoints above its head like a Raven?

Now, this is the version with 1M 1E hardpoints in each arm. I wonder if the 2E arms have both hardpoints attached to the lower arms like a Mist Lynx, or whether the second energy hardpoint replaces the missile launcher in the shoulders.

On a positive note, I'm glad it doesn't squat in the air like the 'flying poop squat' Quickdraw.

woot, looks like a Decepticon. go Cheetah!

Is it just me, or did those JJ's look kind of... effective also?

Maybe it was just a trick of the perspective

[El Bandito]

Clanners should run out of ECM excuse after the Arctic Cheetos and the Scat.

Oh wait, they still need ECM Assault.



Also, WTF is the Community Manager doing, not posting this preview in the forums...

It was a six-jet jump on a 30-tonner. Six jets almost feel like proper jumping on a Grasshopper, it wouldn't surprise me if the Cheetah could actually jump.

Please me, absolutely. Surprise me, not as much.

Same as a Spider with 6, not much worse than the Myth Lynx with 6, as there's only a 5 ton difference.

Yep, it's hardpoints are similar to the D-DC, having ECM and 3 missile slots and all, but who the hell are we kidding here. Dire Whale-C is much better mech than the D-DC.

In all fairness, the D-DC hasn't been a good mech outside of being an ECM assault since the Stalker was released.

Not according to all the Clan ECM apologists. They think D-DC is a good mech, and it balances out the Clan Hellbringer. I know people are stupid, but that's really something.

Stalker also has an ECM variant...6E2M without inflation. Also CT mounted.

It was a good run Mystlinx/Kitfox/Adder...
