We have plenty of mechs that overlap each other, and they were added, so why should it be any different this time around?

Assuming that is the case, considering it's a (very light) Light, I feel they should drop the price a bit. Like say 33% less than the Warhammer package.

So $15 for the 3 mech bundle and $20 for the 4 collector bundle? How much would the Hero be $10?

Considering the assumed usefulness in MWO (which would not be a lot), I'd say that's about right. Give or take. I would probably not pay more than that, despite my love for the Flea.

THEY PROMISED!


This is quite possibly one of the defining reasons why I want the Flea. Not because its going to be an awesome Mech (though some will do awesome in it) but because they showed us Art, and we got our hopes up.
Just because they couldn't figure out MASC right away is not our problem, its theirs. Now we have MASC, and so too should we get the Flea.

The Flea is the hero we need if not the one we deserve.

There's also the original FLE-14 Flea, which came in at only 15 tons...

I want the flea, just for the pure thrill and challenge of it. Nothing better than ending a match or fight you had no business winning in a tiny little mech.

I think in general the game's sorely lacking in "light" lights, or anything <35 tonnes really. Reading BT fiction it's like every other mech is a 20-tonner.

Flea, sure, why not. I agree the concept art is cool. But throw in in the Stinger/Wasp while you're at it. And Piranha or whatever on the clan side.

I'm sure they'll all suck, but most of the player base isn't so concerned with that anyway. So it's a bad reason to not add a mech.

It comes with 16 points of armor in its stock configuration, i.e. 32 points of armor in MWO. Posted Image
