I believe you still have to unlock them. They'll be in your inventory, but you wouldn't be able to install it.... I think...

I would think you would be able to use them but would not be able to purchase any additional modules of the type until such time as you unlock them.

I'm thinking standard pack. .I don't like the colour of the collectors and it's a shame that it's not a unique variant.
You get two of the same model.
So tempted for the BH model...id be tempted to leave the weapons stock to begin with and see how they played...they may run a bit hot though.
Wow...why isn't it December?
I want it now now now

In other news, could be a fun pop-tart: 2AC5s, 2ERPPCs, Jump Jets...

Thing will also be a ballistic hill-humper. Could be interesting.

And it will probably be better than the Mad Cat / Timber Wolf which was supposed to be a combination of the Marauder and Catapult and superior to both.

With the size of it's cockpit... I wonder if it will be able to equip the Command Console That would really up it as a sniper platform...

This. I figured they changed the art to combat HG and their diabolical ways, this just says "Hey HG look here...."

VS. This?

Right. there's the top tier package done.

I'm particularly enthralled with a Laser Vomit variant; nor does the camo pattern seem that appealing.

All IS heavy and assault mechs can equip the 3ton Command Console

Edit:
For the 3R(S) Version I will probably use my favorit loadout of the MAD-5S (Gauss, 2MPulse, 2ERPPC, XL300) nearly stock (more armor and ammo).

The 5D will probably be using a bunch of Lasers with 2x SRM6A and a big STD engine for brawling.
Or this build with XL350, 2x LL, 2x ML, 2x SRM6A and a PPC (add 2x ML to the smurfy build)
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...ffb67243f222dc6

The 5M may go with the LBX and rest MPulse and high STD/XL engine + JJ for brawling, or some PPC/AC5 combo for sniping with JJets.
XL variant (add 2x JJ and 2x MLaser) http://mwo.smurfy-ne...6c2884ec398f364
STD 340 engine with 5x MLaser (replace the ERLL with 5x ML), LBX and 3 JJets http://mwo.smurfy-ne...c3373b3f6a7f524

And the Hero will use a bunch of Large Lasers to go with the many E hardpoints and relatively slower movement speed.

I don't think"enthralled" means what you think it means...

Did they change it? o.O I could have sworn only a few select variants in the game could. The Atlas D, the Catapult C1, one of the Battlemasters.... But, looking at the mechlab now, you are definitely correct o.o Maybe I was wrong all along... but, I could have sworn... huh... thanks for the enlightenment! 6x mag Marauder here I come!

[Grayson Sortek]

Damn you PGI, damn you.
I tried to resist... I really did. It would have been easy had you not introduced that awesome training sequence that gives me hope that you will one day do this series justice. That one day we will see a true story worthy of the name MechWarrior come from your studio.

Damn you.

I'm going to go in the corner with my cookies now and feel ashamed.

LOL, HG may let these re-imagined Unseen mechs slide, but I am sure they would take the gloves off if PGI made a Skull Squadron paint Job. Are you going to make an account with "Rick Hunter" as the pilot name?

[Grey Ghost]

After much theorycrafting, something I should have done with Resistance II , I've decided this pack is worth it. Though I am a bit concerned about the Concept Art to game translation. Seeing as how most recently the Black Knight's cool PPC right arm drawn by Alex got turned into a simple mundane bolt on job, with under-mounts no less. Honestly... I don't know who messed up there, Alex or the modellers? Well, I mean... there is nothing like that Marauder barrel in MW:O right now, so who knows what it will actually end up looking like?

[NUJRSYDEVIL]

I really wish the Marauder IIC was released concurrently with this. I almost bought it today but I really have no reason for 4 new IS mechs. I will probably get Bounty Hunter when it's out though.

I give you right! We need a Marauder IIC But first i take a normal Marauder.

Let's get the rest of the IIC mechs out along with the inevitable rebalancing before they add the Marauder IIC.

Ok PGI, I chose to support you with my limited discretionary budget for the month, so don't let me down.

It is in PGI's best interest to get the Marauder as close to the original as possible. I love my Battlemaster, but the MWO Battlemaster is only vaguely the Battlemaster that I remember:

It's kind of an iconic mech, and on paper it's a slightly better Orion. Without fierce quirks (which the devs seem reluctant to give these days) it will either be a mediocre to good mech, or another Inner Sphere tank (which would be inappropriate).

I am excited but reluctant.

Staff: Sure, why not. We're kinda bored.
