Thing is...we don't.

That is two separate conversations that the forums have combined. He said he had 4 Omnimechs in timeline still worth doing..but that they wouldn't fit a package.

It could very well be the Linebacker. But it's "not a guarantee" that we are lookign at an Omni.

Hmm, fair enough, I think my brain welded some ideas together from bits of information and called it truth. But, a mech pack being 2 mediums and 2 heavies wouldn't fit the mech pack format we have come to know, which is 1 of each class. If it wasn't the Linebacker I would be rather surprised, but, after this last mech, whatever it is, who knows what we will be getting. I just am glad Russ isn't announcing mechs in Town Halls anymore, even if I didn't mind that he did people got upset to the point of making a meme out of it.

Don't get your hopes up you'll just get burned repeatedly. I unfollowed all of Mechwarrior at this point I'm just fed up, between the trolls allowed to troll and how long it's gone on I'm just disgusted.

It will come out but I may not ever see it.

You.... haven't really bought 6 Megalodon cards, have you?

Yup GTA had a bunch of stuff added and I didn't feel like grinding missions to get it plus GTA gives its DLC for free and shark cards help keep that mentality and incentive going so it's of no concern to me.

I spend my money where my interest is.

Well We'll see what is is in due course.

I'm dreading more power creep rather than get excited by it though.

I will give them this.

The forums feel more excited about this than the stale count downs for the last few mechs.

Whether it brings more yays and less boo's we shall see

Powercreep > PGI out of jobs

Not really a hard choice. Besides "Powercreep" is another boogieman just like groups always win.

Surprise Turkina?!

that..actually could be, though it would be a significant departure from the existing arts.

[Solahma]

I'm on the Linebacker Bandwagon. Too much is pointing toward it. All they have to do is make it torso-twist capable like they did with the Nova. BAM.

Just to play devil's advocate?

Could also be the Black Python battlemech. CT looks like it might have a bubble canopy

Just saying. Also the end of the arm looks more like funky finger than weapon pods.



not saying it is, but Russ never specifically stated we would be getting 4 Omnimechs, either.

[Sable]

well it does look kinda like a buffed up madcat. He did say on his twitter "what is this madness"

what's interesting....is either the knees are very wonky..or it might have...scissor joint knees?

Probably not, but a boy can dream, right?

[xVLFBERHxT]

The left outline could be the shoulder. Make the cockpit in to the middle and it looks different...

[IdolElite]

The Black Python would be great, it's got some real potential, otherwise I'm not particularly interested, I love my IS mechs and very few Clan mechs.

A bit off topic but my biggest disappointment was the summoner, I really wanted to like it, but not only is it ugly but it's also almost unusable.

Another robot.

I'm not interested.

And guess what, it comes with lasers, missiles and cannons...

could be the shoulder. Won't know til they reveal.

As I said "devil's advocate". They won't let me troll Impy, so I have to have my fun somehow.

Probably Linebacker. COULD be Black Python. Or mkII. Or Turkina...or if it's IS, a few other designs.

As I said...leaning toward Linebacker. But hoping it's not.

No way it's the Mad Cat MK II arms are all completely wrong. Besides he said 4 omnimechs to go though. So $320 of lost support before even the chance of the mech I wanted showing its face. You know they will jump back to IS after as well so yeah, being told I'd get the MK II before the end of the year was a lie. Selling it may not be a lie but actually piloting it this year won't happen.

E3 was very good this year I'm looking forward to a bunch of Xbox to PC games and other titles.

[Impyrium]

I think it's the Mackie.

where exactly did he say that?

I suppose he could have though I don't recall it (But admittedly haven't been paying as much attention of late as I used to, so I could have indeed missed it). And I try not to read beyond what Russ says.
