and then i said to myself seeing this, "AAAAAAGH, it is time... for my wallet.. to be empty... "

Wow, not it's not even new, but only an evolution of an Icon. Grab it while it's hot. Might soon be sold out. Pre-order yours today!

[GreyNovember]

So the only real variants worth considering are the special and the hero.

Welp. That's different at least.

[Steel Raven]

They got the Marauder right so it's good odds this is going to be sweet!

Yeah, I kinda like Alex going the Marauder II direction and bulking up the original. Much more clear relationship visually.

We don't have rocket launchers.. or heavy gauss.. or heavy PPC.. or snub nosed PPC.. or light PPC.. or RACs.. or Xpulse lasers..

..This is an odd move..

(It is pretty, though.)

Question, why does the art have the cannon on left while stats have cannon on right?

....and is it bad I wanted the cannon on the left?
Was only looking at ballistic ACs.

The energy cannon is on the left...and sadly is the only weapon placed on the left.

I like it, its not a big change from the IS Marauder.
The inverted artwork pic showing the AC/Ballistic hard point on the left torso is throwing me off a bit. Though it would be interesting to finally have a 'mech with its heavy Dakka on the left, just to mix it up.

Oh well another clan mech, pass.

[Alistair Winter]

Lauren, if you're reading this:

Fantastic job with the textures / camo patterns / colors.

Both the Collector's texture and the Scorch texture. They're fantastic. Kudos for looks that were both interesting, nostalgic and pretty.

More of this, please.

Can you say C-A-S-H-G-R-A-B?

Repeat after me: Must... BUY.... MECHPACK.

[DarkReaver1986]

[xeromynd]

MAD-IIC-D

Will buy as it hits a lot of my likes but those paint schemes are awful. I've mostly been a huge fan of the revisioned PGI mech appearances to date but these look like someone just threw some paint on a model and called it modern mech art.

As a reminder ... this is the sweet point for 1 ton jump jets.

You get free reign to make up your own variants because you can't be bothered to develop new weapon systems and that's the best you can do? Even the variants locks behind a pay wall are stale. Literally all you had to do was move some hard-points around.

What about a variant with SRMs in the hands? Double ballistic shoulders? A Ballistic slot in the CT? More JJ Verity? Come on guys, get creative!

The cannon IS on the left. At least for the base variant - because the "cannon" is a PPC. As for the dakka variants, those will be RT like the regular Marauder.

It's actually an 85 ton assault - but I guess that's irrelevant if you're looking for something under 60 tons.

[Tordin]

Daaaam. PGI, you guys.. Ok. Really awesome looking MAD II and all (THANKS Alex!) and all that.
I might get it, no... wait. I was on the brink of getting the Linebacker, but since I missed the early adapter bonuses window, no money for you
I can say no, nonono.. Im stubborn!
Darn it, its an Assaults so maybe...
Nice to see a west/left side mech, gonna bro up this mad with my shawks and banshees!


Ah. Well, hope the mad 2 gets transferred to the new Battletech game though

Well, Harmony gold would surely get some suing going if PGI would try to use a design too close to the old concept.

@ExAstra - thanks for the clarification. I just saw Marauder so thought heavy, my bad.

[AngrySpartan]

Dammit, one of 2 mechs I am still interested (Grendel is the second) and as usual the sweetest variants are Reinforcements and Hero. Meh...

Guess I'll keep my money till December. If there will be some new gameplay stuff might even buy it. "II-C-8" from preorder is a thrashcan anyway, compared to the reinforcements.
