Not to be "that guy" but here's what I'm worried about: By hardpoints, the Marauder isn't much better than the Orion, however its ballistic hardpoint is much better placed. I'm worried PGI will look at that high ballistic hardpoint and reward the MAD with poor quirks.

Now the Orion has some pretty good quirks, and it's still ****. Do you think a single high gauss would take the Onion from T5 to T2? Now give it Resistance level quirks and ask the same question.

I fear that they'll look at it like they have looked at the BK: "Oh, it has plenty or high mounted hardpoints, so it should be good by default. Let's give it craptastic quirks because you know, otherwise it will be overpowered".

The Marauder pack was supposed to be a special saving but it isnt cheaper than any bundle you can already buy so i don't get where it's cheaper, it cost more in fact. Bundles have champions upgraded with a standar+hero and some stuff thrown in the package. The marauder has module that just might become obsolete when the new balance pass is finished(dejavu), meds and light wont need the same modules as the heavy and assault except for seismic and there's no seismic in the package.

While the 35$ 4 mech/4 variant, 1 being a hero is nice, the other one thats 55 has 5 mech but still only 4 variants so there will be one useless :/ you pay 20$ to turn one into a 30% bonus, thats 5$ more than a hero that is a unique variant, Id consider to paying 20$ to turn mechs of my choice into 30% bonus though. Considering the hardpoints, i dont think id ever play another Marauder than the Hero BH2 anyways, at best you can stack 2 ac5 on the 3R with 4 super low energy point, id rather have a single larger ballistic on the BH2.

The only thing keeping me from getting the 35$ package right now is that it's a heavy. I don't play heavy, i have 2 hero heavy with their standard variant bought last year still on basics, jester on elite. Out of the 23 heavy i own, 6 are on or doing basics and 7 are elited lol. Knowing myself, Im probably gona choke and buy the 35$ package the 30th because i really like the look of the mech :/

Well, I wanted some loyalty rewards so I bought the $40 Marauder package and the $7 MC package. Hopefully I get some loyalty mech love now.
