Doesn't the wasp equip an SRM-2 in the left leg? That might be a new frontier. How would that work?

According to the canon, the SRM2 was in the leg, and correct me if I'm wrong (some floating factoid in my brain), but one leg had more armor than the other? Anyhow, I doubt we would start leg mounting weapons, it woul just move to the side torso (plus moving the location may be necessary to avoid similarities with the 'unseen' artwork).

The thought of leg weapons is interesting, although trajectory may be an issue, since the origin point of the weapons would start low, environmental barriers might be magnified.

I want more wasps and more lights in general.

Sadly when PGI ran into leg mounted weapons (ie: cicada) they just moved it to the side torso.

The Valkyrie would make the Panther even less relevant - CT mounted missiles really limits your options. Valkyrie could run dual SRM6/ASRM4 with no problems!

But then the elephant in the room would be the Javelin - 30 ton jumping Oxide... DO WANT PLZ!!!

I want my Flea. But until the Flea becomes a possibility, I will be happy with any new light mechs they add. I love lights. I've mastered them all. I'd like some new ones to play with. All these unseen heavies are cool and all, and so is the Kodiak, but I need moar lights.

Hear, hear. My hope is actually that they'll do a 2-pack of the Wasp and Stinger, though, priced like one of the heavies. It'd be a nice way of saying "we know these aren't great, but we also know they have fans." I would buy the max pack for sure.

God I hope this happens. If they release the Royal Stinger you might as well weld the cockpit closed behind me. Hopefully they'll include details like visible arm mounted iron sights for the MGs on the hero

I think we need to start a petition to Russ. Damn, I might have to join Twitter

Iron sights - FTW (as the kids say)

It's a little compulsive, really. :3

I've got every IS light except the Anansi. On the ClanTech side, I'm only missing the JR7-IIC line and the add-on variants for the Lynx, Adder and Kitfox.

All but 2 Urbies, 2 Commies, 2 or 3 Locusts (3V T.T), 3 redundant Cheetahs and the Panther 10P (AC10 ftw!) are mastered. Maybe time to revisit a few.

I would totally play the Veritechs(kidding!) Unseen lights, because funsies. Valk, done reasonably well, could be like an up-gunned Spider. Trohlolololohlolololoh

Anansi I won't even buy on sale (yet). Jenner IIC, I'm forcing myself to wait for a sale. The extra ClanTech OmniLights I'm not sure I want to clog mechbays with until after I binge at a mechbay sale. It's getting a little crowded at V Corp Mechanized Yards.

Those JR7-IICs are calling me though ...
