The upcoming 'Mech is .... the Phoenix Hawk!

June Patch!

I love this agile medium 'Mech from BattleTech and I am happy to see it in MWO.


Standard variant


Collectors' variant


Sir Paul Masters' variant



Shin Yodama's variant

I know Bishop is loving this....

It looks slim and simple, which I like.

That gundam doesn't look that great...........

Special = Crescent Hawks vibe

I will have my c-bills ready.

I wonder what models PGI choses as "standard" C-Bills 'Mechs.

Where does it store the beam saber?

Clearly in one of the pylons on the back, duh.

It looks good, Alex is always amazing. But there is just something about a mech holding a pistol that does not sit well with me.

I'd assume the PXH-1, the TRO3025 version was the Special for the other Classics/Unseens and with most 'Mechs in MWO.

That's true.

I would like to see one Star League models with Guardian ECM suite AND one high shoulder-mounted energy hardpoint.

And boom, I have a new favourite mech. Please don't ruin the 3D model. Please don't ruin the 3D model.

Presumably, they will use the new code that allows people to blow off a mech's missile doors (e.g. Archer) without ripping off the whole side torso. So the pylons on the back won't result in oversized side torso hitboxes.

It's just such a pity the hero mechs and the collector's mech don't have any kind of custom geometry, such as the Black Knight Resistance mech.

The original had them too.

Awful - just awful.

The Warhammer, Rifleman, Archer and Marauder had a sense of progression and respect from the original Macross / Robotech inspiration.

This just looks like an enforcer with little rectangles strapped to its back.

The Hand Held weapon as previous posts have pointed out looks closer to gundam inspiration then the GU-11 gunpod inspiration of Macross.

Pure Fail - no money from me.

Edit - If you want to cash in on nostalgia, at least put some heart into it.
