I'm not gonna buy it because I had to join the vote with your wallet crowd.

No, because:

1. Voting with mah wallet.

2. It probably won't be very good anyways.

It doesn't look very "Bushwacker-y".

Not a light, LAM, or carrying a melee weapon so I'm out.

Nope.


Holding out for Wasp / Cougar / Mk II / Stone Rhino.


Depending on where they go with ED.


Until then we are closed until further notice.

No.

Because this isn't a game, it's an interactive art gallery.

I believe I will pass. I have the EBJ and it's essentially the same thing. Only with Clan tech. Besides, I want to save my shekels so I can see what comes next. It might be cooler.

And higher hardpoints.

And a better assortment of hardpoints.

And more tonnage.

By Bushwackery I meant something like this.

Alex's art is too generic. Bushwacker's arms should be wide-spread, not that clumped up Linebacker knockoff Alex drew up. I'm gonna take a look at it from different angles before reaching definitive verdict, but for now, I am disappointed with the Wacker's artwork by Alex.

Those aren't the official LOOSE work though, so they don't count.

lol dude the Bushwacker is an IS battlemech Posted Image

Which is also why I'm not spending $$ on it. With that said, the Bushwacker is one of the only IS mechs that I've seriously considered spending money on as of late.

See the FASA logo from first picture? You can't get more Battletech than that. They are similar to the Bushwacker featured in MW3 and MW4, so I count them as official. Current art is too distanced from the concept to my liking.

Nope.

1) Never was a fan
2) Was only "good" in MW3... and every mech was an interchangeable gunbag there, so no big feat
3) PGIs legomech "dynamic" weapons look horribly out of place on it especially the torso laser and sidecar taped on AC10.
4) Have no desire to reward PGI for making packs of Made Up Variants, when there are still mechs with enough timeline/tech level available variants that could be made instead, without screwing up potential future tech variants, in the process.
5) I've only been buying mechs that would be art assets for HBS's Battletech game
6) Until MM, FW and overall TTK/Gameplay are remotely balanced/fun again, I see no reason to buy anything.

And... that about covers the basics.

Still, I have an outstanding Mech Pack waiting to be claimed from a contest..... after passing on the last 3 mechs, I might cash it in just so the poor soul waiting on me doesn't have to wait any longer. Would have been an easy choice with a Charger or Crusader... both mechs with copious in timeline/tech level variants about..
