"Then lightning flashed again in huge sheets and thunderous applause rolled overhead. I knew right away that these weren’t invaders. The enemy drove newer machines than these. What I was looking at were faces from the past, champions in their own right: Warhammer; Marauder; Phoenix Hawk; Archer." - excerpt, "Stalking the Legends", from Technical Readout Project Phoenix

[Lord0fHats]

I never thought this day would come. Oh well *prepares wallet*

[Unnatural Growth]

Yup, I'm in. Put me down for the full pack of each, Marauder and Warhammer.

Now come on with the Phoenix Hawk and Wasp please.

Thinking Ac 10 up top, standard engine, 2 LL and 2 ML. Just quickly looking at it. Although thats on the light side. I would start there though.

Eh something that doesn't ac20 of the bat is better at least, I was just going off the phract 0xp which is pretty close in hardpoint setup, which from what I've looked at trends towards a heavy hunchback 4G setup. figured the lv1 tech would be molded similar, though giving ac10s and the energy/missile shoulder variants (well the 4x, just looked up if there were any missile variants, and blazer arms says lol no.) So yeah, ac 10 love would be cool, maybe dual lb-10 if the shoulder has 2b... anyway yeah, basing of the closest to the marauder we have atm.

so they splitting the money with Harmony Gold then?

Cause the last time I asked one of them on Twitter they said they couldnt make these mechs because "Harmony Gold always votes no"

I'd be more excited if MWO had working PPCs and actual canon designed Battle Tech Gauss Rifles (which MWO does not). As is though MWO only supports Laser Vomit mechs. These mechs will not get much support from the current weapon functional balance. MWO Gauss are 2XGauss only. PPCs are too slow to edge Laser's lighter, cooler, higher damage.

I think Beef-senpai has a good summary

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

ah that one

[Mazzyplz]

wth where are the handle bars around the cockpit; if there is any one single mech that needs handle bars at all it is this one

not the battlemaster or locust

It'll be DOA just like people said about the urbanmech

People who knew what they were talking about didn't call the Urbanmech DoA.

[Mazzyplz]

it looks way better than the king crab though, at least.
kingcrab is an abomination.
and the other crab that is coming to the game... LOL!


as if dragons didn't have enough ct problems, and any other mech wasn't hideous enough, we get this.... thing.

you know what this is? this is the mech equivalent of alf.

Single high ballistic mount, low slung energy arms that don't shield. Large side torsos, although not much height. Giant legs. This one will be determined by quirks again. Probably will be a fun/interesting mech, but jury's out about whether it'd perform well although not looking great.

we could just give it clan weapons and clan XL and it would probably give the timber some competition.

Yeah, if they were asked about a mech that "might" have a "distinct likeness" to their registered IP.

However Catalyst have pretty much stuck 2 fingers up at HG and their hardball attitude with a hardball attitude of their own. They've come out and said that they're releasing the unseen mech variants but their artwork is/should be distinctive enough to allow it to be Catalyst's own work.

PGI have clearly seen this and watched it, perhaps even been in contact with Catalyst themselves. It seems like, with appropriate modifications and an MWO style, the unseens are well and truly here.

PGI would not be releasing an unseen MAD unless it knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it would go all the way without a legal challenge.

Gona be released a single mech pack.
Like the urban mech
20$ pack and 40$ pack

Marauder Hero mech also confirmed and to be bounty hunter
Will be on it's different pricing tag.. ~15$



*fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap*


regular skin and special variant skin NOT BOUNTY HUNTER

Will I order it? Probably.

Do I love it? No.

It looks like Alex just redid Shimmering Swords version with a light refreshing, and I never really like Shim's version, to begin with (one of the few of Shim's or Alex's works I haven't been a fan of). The arms, looks really off to me, the paddles too small, the odd angle on top.... the whole thing does indeed feel like a Baby King Crab.

Only reason I'll still order it? Because I want more Unseen.

Clalling it now, the Warhammer Hero is going to be Natasha Kerensky's "The Widowmaker".

Natasha Kerensky's Warhammer is called "Black Lady". (Widowmaker is her Dire Wolf)

I have to turn the volume off to use the AC 5 or AC 2. So i dont use them. Maybe the will change the sounds of add noise suppressors for them some day.

To the guy that said the King Crab is ugly, your sense of style sucks.

Both the KC and the Crab have alot of character and both add alot to the profiles on the field. This Marauder is quite possibly the finest looking machine ever depicted by man lol.
