Congratulations Bishop! Your baby has arrived!!

His Vindicator just got a lot sadder, though.
Large engine, 10 full TrueDubs, occasionally better hardpoints.


It also has MASC (IS Mk3) and an ECM variant.

Also it's holding its gun with the hand. The Archer bays and the Phoenix Hawk handgun is great.

Wish I could link pics, my phone doesn't let me though!

But Paul Masters and Shin Yodama skins look great. Can't wait to see the variants.

No negative comments yet?

Yay! Me first!

Phoenix Hawk is DOA. No reason to take it over the Blackjack, it will probably just be a slightly better Vindicator.

I'll take it, but only because it is one step closer to my Wasp!

[Aetes Nakatomi]

I'm on my phone too... having the same problem getting pics. But my issues are exasperated by the fact it is 5am for me

Phoenix Hawk!!!!

And the gold and white hero looks absolutely incredible. Paul Masters I assume?

[braveheart95]

Will say that it is pretty for sure...and I know Bishop is salivating right now......

[BigBadVlad]

Please just offer Harmony Gold $50..... they might take it!!!!

[Lucian Nostra]

Im just glad this whole Mad Cat MK II thing got addressed, a thanks to Russ for taking the time to review it before announcing the Phoenix Hawk

[Damien Tokala]

He said it was outside the timeframe he had in mind and while we will get there eventually it's not something he wants to put out before releasing a lot of mechs relevant to the 3053 timeframe* (not exactly what he said but close). Also I don't remember if he said something along the lines of he wont commit to it or something.. pretty tired

edit: * And just want to point out in regards to the timeframe he did point out things like grabbing Kodiak variants from BEYOND 3053 but the base variant was a 3001 design, meawhile the Mad Cat MKII was a 3066+ only design

it would have been nice to see it, but the brutal truth is, the madcat MKii has been in MWO via proxy for a long time. twin gauss and laser spam has been the meta for a while, and the mkii would be more of the same with a fancy looking chassis.

[WarHippy]

Yeah, these mechs look great so far and I am pretty pumped. The white and gold one is top notch, but even the bonus blue white one looks pretty great.

No. Think Pauls is the semi Camo painted one while the White with Gold etching is Shin Yodama.

Pfft. I'm touching myself. I swear to god, this is quite possibly my favourite mech ever =)
