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.

How about the smaller slightly redneck cousin of the Battlemaster

So, a mech with a head of a Bull, a cattle prod, and a name Cattle Master?...um...




Alright, Stop That! It's Gotten Much Too Silly!




P.S. I suppose this could go for the Wolfhound and Panther too, but Cattle Master? I mean, it is named Cattle Master....oh boy.

P.P.S. I suppose that is why it would be a good April Fools Mech...Well Played

The ultimate April Fool's mech would have to be the Ostscout! I mean a 35 ton light mech with a single CT energy hardpoint! This would make the Spider look like a Firestarter in comparison !

How about the 3050 TRO Ostscout? Where they removed that single CT energy hardpoint because they thought having a weapon at all made the scout pilots too combat-happy?

[Lorian Sunrider]

By my count the Mackie is running away with it.

k, lets be serious.. IIC urbanmech. for 50$.

Should be the same price. $20 for 3. $40 for collectors. Another $15 for hero.

[Firelizard]

Another vote for the Mackie. Because reasons.

As for Mechs I would go with the Mackie.

But what about different playing modes instead of a Mech?
Haveing played League of Legends there is the URF (Ultra rapid fire) mode for April that basicly puts everything into a hyperactive mode. Next to no cooldown, no castingcost....

For MWO you could go similar, no cooldowns, extremly low heat, no ammo needs, no jamming and all of that in a 32 vs 32 brawl king of the hill map with no respawn limit and just a timer ticking down. Winner is the one with the most kills or most time spend on the hill.
Just pure madness.

Or speaking of madness. Strip all mechs of weapons, increase ramming/pushin strength and make a map with a big hole in the middle. The one pushing the most mechs into it wins. Spartan style

Mackie should be the April Fools, like the Urbie was, cause then we'll get it in the game. =D

[DAYLEET]

The Mackie has crotch level balistic if i can believe sarna pics, i vote for Mackie

CHARGER

The original small laser scout in all its glory.

[Atlasian]

Give us Quads.

"Four legs good. Two legs bad."

[Nightshade24]

Well looking at silly designs rather it be lore, stock, etc. And may not be the best mech in MW: O... soooo

Urbanmech IIC to carry Urbies legacy
or
Annihlator, same speed as urbanmech but 100 tons and has 4 AC 20's instead of one. (yes, it can do quad gauss if you like, or 6 LBX 10 with crammed space, etc)
or
Bane.... 10 UAC 2's stock, and 4 machine guns... it has more ballistics than it can propperly use in MW: O, on top of that it may get hardpoint inflations...
or well...
Ostscout. 1 medium laser CT on any variant, some have a tag instead but basically at max with inflations we're looking at a 35 tonner with 1 to 2E CT...
or
mackie... oldest mech in BT.


I do not think the charger, behemoth, etc will be good choices because they risk a high chance of being the meta (at least for behemoth and other suggestions) and also it isn't comical... sure charger is funny stock but when people have 4 to 6 medium lasers and 3 large pulse lasers or 3 large lasers it's not as funny and the other variants is more like a mini atlas... .
