Why do we need it?

THEY PROMISED!

This. Quite frankly, the Flea wouldn't even be on my radar if it hadn't been promised to me and then never delivered. It's not even about the 'mech anymore, it's about principle.

I still want the Flea as well, but not the same one in the OP. I don't like that concept art/model, because it simply looks like a Locust, which is pointless. We already have a Locust. I want a new mech, something different. I would rather something that takes more nods from the TRO art - that boxy AT-ST concept:

While my comment was slightly snarky, this really sums it up. I'm a lore nerd so I want it because I want all 'Mechs in game (and will pay cash money for any IS packs) but they teased and promoted it, so thus the desire to see it out.

Bane/Kraken confirmed as next mech.

Woot! If Dakka Bane will obsolete the KDK-3, that would be pretty funny thinking what could happen

So basically a locust but not the locust.

Just make it a skin, and sell it. Its just too redundant otherwise.

Maybe a skin for other games but this game actually has various custom geometry to differentiate the various mechs. The Flea was not made because it was deemed OVER POWERED. THE SECRET IS OUT.

Tried to bury it, hide it, skipped Number 16 and kept on going - http://mwomercs.com/...tlemech-16-flea

Just made a twitter account to ask Russ, since he's back, if the Flea is dead and buried or if it's still on the back burner somewhere and might yet make it into the game still, even if it's not soon. I tried to be polite about it but twitter gives me very limited characters to work with. I hope he'll answer me with a confirmation or a denial so that we can put this issue to bed with either a "We're never getting what we want, let's move on with the grieving process" or "The Flea is coming. Eventually." so I can break out into my happy dance knowing that it's still on its way.

Like I have said before (and will probably end up saying again), put it to a community vote with preorders (just like the Urbanmech).

People will have 1 month to preorder the mech and hit a preset goal. If the community reaches it and raises enough money, PGI makes it. If not, goodbye Flea FOREVER (well forever in relation to MWO's life span).

Let's get to it!

I would not pay for this, even if it cost a single dollar.

I already paid real money for the Locust and the Mist Lynx. I have enough lemons.

My tweet was answered by Russ.



Still might see the Flea someday, folks. It's not dead and gone.

I love my Mist Lynx and my Locust. I didn't pay real money for them though. Me? I would gladly shell out $20 for a Flea or any new light 'mech. For me, my purchase of a 'mech is not about a tonnage:dollar ratio like some people seem to think it is. I don't care how heavy or light it is, if it's something I want, they get my money. I love lights. I don't have a light in my hangar that I don't think is fun as balls to pilot and I own and have mastered every single light chassis currently in this game. A light 'mech is worth $20 for me because I know that I will have a damned good time piloting it, and the fun that I will get out of it makes it worth that $20. Plus the early adopter rewards they've been chucking in with their 'mech releases makes the value even better.

Fleas nobody like Fleas - last time i catched one i had to sterialize the whole flat.
And creating a Mount Washmore - and when i told my brother about it and that i had his dog under suspision he didn't talked me to me for months

No Sir keep your Fleas I don't need any
We don't need any.
In other cases we need a game were a Flea with papierdischörn as armor and the speed of tractor is worth something.

Wait, I'm sorry, but did you just call the 'mech that pretty much isn't in the game yet due to concerns of it running so fast that it breaks hit detection slow?

Heck, they should make it a preorder competition to see what 'mech we get next. One category for IS, one for Clan, whichever 'mech gets the most preorders in 30 days gets made, then the others get recycled for the next build slot.
