Hey, does anyone have any thoughts on what the next hero mech will be? Aside from the ones that will be appearing in upcoming mechpacks of course. I would expect, on the IS side, a police-model Urbanmech or possibly something for the Resistance mechs. On Clan side I can already put a pretty good guess as to what the first non-mechpack hero will be. Bounty Hunter III.

That would be awesome. A mini Arrow. But what about Bounty Hunter III?

Please no!
We have already an police themed mech in game... everyone knows how the story ends.

I actually like the idea of the Urbanmech being used as a police vehicle for like SWAT style stuff. It is designed for urban combat, is dirt cheap, and probably can be given from the military to the police as military surplus, like in real life.

While new Mechs is always welcome, I really would like they fix Faction Play, even if new Mechs are coming out that I could be interested in, my wallet is closed.

Mech and gameplay content creation/development are separate. Think of them as 2 different pipelines, even if you close one off it won't make the water flow any faster through the other pipe and could even cause a backup and flooding.

Yeah, there's like a few arts guys who are basically dedicated to making mech art. Then the mech gets rigged up for movement, and .xml is used for quirks. Bam, new robit.

I want the Fire Moth and/or Locust IIC.

**** the Woodsman, the only suitable place for that outdated hunk of Bandit Caste trash is in front of a Timber Wolf's crosshairs at the shooting practice grounds.

If we are going to include the Coyotl and Woodsman, at least add the darn Mackie first!

Chameleon and Incubus.

Funny thing, the Coyotl is actually good and well balanced, the Woodsmen and Lupus not so much....
