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?

NO, maybe http://mwomercs.com/...-zen-hachetaki/ will but not me. Still love watching Robotech but never was interested in their games. I do have some old Macross II rpg books but never played them.

Okay, bought the collector pack due to the premium time and extra bits and bobs.

there is nothing like that Marauder barrel in MW:O right now, so who knows what it will actually end up looking like?

The arm pods will just be the cataphract right arms flipped upside down:



The RT AC mount will be a re-used SHD left torso:

Mmmmm Marauder. Oh, goddam you stupid $AUD exchange rate. Guess I am going to wait for the ingame hero to come out, and for my Government to hopefully recover after finally getting rid of that ****** Tony "1920's Dictator" Abbot.

Also I think I'd rather see what it looks like ingame before I shell money out for it, I've seen what happens to those lovely concept artworks when the modellers get their hands on them and turn them into ingame assets.

Still happy it will exist though no matter what.

The JJ Marauder might replace my Grasshopper as my main heavy, I will have to wait and see.

Anything that looks remotely like a King Crab is sexy.

Keeping the long-post train going, I had an idea: For the long-barrel ballistic weapons, why not have quirks on the mech as such (while keeping the longer barrel):

Ballistic projectile speed: +12.5%(positive)
AC/10 projectile speed: +50%(positive)
Ballistic cooldown speed: -25%(negative)

and so forth.

Because of the overall value I debatted with myself about spending 20$, but when i read that the Marauder will run 64,8kmh with a standard 300 engine and when I see the low hanging arms I think I rather save the money. Too bad, I was willing...

The BH has a max engine size of 300 now...not too bad!

There's also the fact that it's a tall mech - the arms aren't really that far down relative to its full height.

[Archie4Strings]

Ive already tried a few loadouts, based on the Orion platform.Hard points are more or less the same (Energy in each arm and Ballistic/Missile in torsi), both 75 tons...

I bet the Marauder is gonna make a very good brawler! I can imagine that the hitboxes will be pretty... tanky, like most mechs with this kind of non-humanoid and similar shape (Stormcrow, Timberwolf, Stalker...) At least i hope so!
Including Jump Jets, its gonna be really nice!

And probably a fine sniper too for the probably highest ballistic slot of any mech! Including Jump Jets also a good jump sniper... damn jump snipers...

I was under the impression they had upped the max engine rating in the Hero mech..

Seems not to be the case...

They did, it is 300 max now. My opinion is that a Hero mech should only get the hero bonus if it is equipped with the stock loadout.

That would kinda-sorta ruin the entire point of MWO.

No, because Hero mechs are supposed to be famous and unique mechs from battletech lore. You would still have all of the non-hero variants to tinker with.

Instagram art work looks great, plan and end elevation, I'm liking it much more, than from just the side view on the advert

because 30% cbills is just so gamebreaking.
