I thought the whole new resistance mech pack was an April fools joke..... don't need anymore.

Rampage.
THE RIM WORLDS REPUBLIC WILL RISE AGAIN!
Or the Mackie because it has the distinction of being pretty much the original Battlemech of the BT univerese.

+1 for Piranha and MG spamming fun.

The downside would mean that MGs would never get buffed because it would make it OP. Then again, they're probably never going to buff MGs anyway

Hatchetman and Axeman, complete with the announcement of full kinetic damage between mechs and structures.

No, clearly the correct Orca is this one:

Last years Urbanmech was wildly successful largely in part because it was something the community wanted, even knowing that it likely wasn't going to be the best mech (don't hurt me Bishop).

So, we have roughly 5 months to convince them to add another April Fools Addition Mech.

Has to meet the following criteria:

- Fits in the timeline
- Is something of an urthodox Mech
- Is not a quad mech (Sorry Varnas)

As we get suggestions I'm willing to add a poll.

My initial thought was the Mackie.

THE MACKIE

Piranha, Firemoth and the Flea.

Doesn't get more laughable than those three.

I beg to differ. Both the Firemoth and the Flea could stand to compete with the Locust. Even the Wasp could. They're all at the very least 151kph, tiny tiny hitboxes, and minimum of 6 energy hardpoints on at least one variant each. I did some theorycraft for all three of these right here if you want to check them out and see what they could be capable of.

I haven't properly theorycrafted the Piranha yet, but it carries twelve MGs and a cERSL for a minimum sustained DPS of 10.34 on a 160.4 kph Clan XL light? After about 15 seconds into a brawl, it would be out-DPS'ing both the ACH and FS9-A. It might have ammo problems, but it might also be so incredibly fun to play that it doesn't matter. =D

[Random Carnage]

They should roll out a bullseye camo decal to stick on the CT "nose" of the Dire that melts the Dires face off if targeted for more than 1 second, and a "Don't push this button" for the CT rear that auto cores the back if a light gets a target lock on it for more than 0.5 seconds. In both cases, situation normal for the Dire so no game issue involved.

Hmm, how about announcing the Scorpion will be available... as a figurine for the cockpit!
