I'm going to have to pick between the MAD and the BLK... that's not fair...

[Watchemkillem]

I hope this mech is good. The Mauler could be amazing if it were a little tougher in the midsection. Not fair that the big boys are the softest in a brawl.

Bounty Hunter's Marauder can boat lasers almost as well as Black Knight, and it comes with jump jets.

Plus, you could use your other Marauders to try combined energy/ballistic or energy/missile configurations.

Black Knight..... I have loved you since Mechwarrior 4: Black Knight Expansion box cover....

It just looks at you and says yaaaahhh B*tch, who's next?

Please don't be underarmored and as the southerners call it, "Fra-Gee-lay"

[Gas Guzzler]

Ummm the concept art had the PPC on the side of the arm and the medium laser on top of the arm. Why is it so low now????

Seriously... that little extra heigh would have been really nice...

Can someone tell me what prompted that change from the concept art?

[Bud Crue]

Flail Badge makes me want to be able to have physical combat even more. I mean, I know lots of folks want a Hatchetman and all that the mech suggests (smashing each other, stomping a Locust with an Atlas, Highlander burial, smacking some smirking Jester with one's Hatchet, etc.).

But that badge just makes me think about is how cool a Black Knight would look with an actual flail hanging from a wrist actuator and swinging it around.

Alas.

They NEED to do that camo. Black Torso with Red Boars head, dark grey arms and legs....Grey head.

[Felicitatem Parco]

So, a bunch of low-mounted energy hardpoints, aside from a head laser...

Sounds Awesome. I hope it gets the needed 25%+ weapon quirks...

They won't because then all the Clan players will QQ, but yeah they are all super low, its sinking in more now that I see it in game. The concept art showed the arm hard points considerably higher, so I'm pretty disappointed about that.

Hopefully when they input all those super low hardpoints into their algorithm it will spit out some really great quirks

Omg, the color scheme in the top pic makes the mech look reeeeeally atrocious. Like really ******* ugly(oops).

In black it's nice, tho. I'll probably get it with cBills, but forking cash over for another all energy mech with almost no variety between builds? Nope. I got the Grasshopper and chances are good the Grasshopper will perform equal or even better than the Black Knight.

I also preordered the Marauder plus Hero and that mech will be a good deal better than both the GRH and the BL-X-KNT.

Hopefully this mech will have you know...good quirks unlike the Mauler. There is nothing about the Mauler to make it worth playing or relevant. Hopefully PGI will decide to step it up with the quirks. If it is to stand a chance against Clan mechs then it needs massive heat dissipation quirks or duration quirks.

I bought R2 for the mauler (i'm still 2 weeks away from getting my hands on it though)...

I looked at the other 3 as extras in the mauler package that are just ...there!.

This is looking like to be a nice extra though!

[Sigilum Sanctum]

I really hope it has a nice slow, lumbering, intimidating gait.

It would be a shame If this gorgeous mech ended up looking stupid because it bobbles around like a crack addict going through withdrawl.

*glares at Grasshopper*

That pic of the Black Knight reminds me of Jet Jaguar.

Yah. No one just "throws up a little" in their mouths any more these days...

I just throw up a little ... got a 7 kill match in my Exe the other day with 2xUAC5, 3xER Mediums and 3xER Smalls. I try to avoid going anywhere near ghost heat territory for most of my mechs, it's just boring to spam the same weapon (even my TDR-5SS has a pair of LLs in the right shoulder instead of just 7xMPL)

[GeminiWolf]

Ummm where is the Cannon arm? I baught this specifically because the Illustration has a Cannon for an arm on the left side....#SCREWEDAGAINFORPREORDERINGPACKAGES #NEVERAGAIN

What the hell are you talking about.

[cybex]

I wonder why every mech looks great when published but when they finally release them, don't look so good and doesn't look close to what was published.

[Igor Kozyrev]

Honestly, all clan packs have decent style for badges, those IS badges in modern style are awful.
