You fail to mention that it looks like a BAMF. This is a key selling point, and a major difference from the Grasshopper.

That and super high-mounted left arm (assuming they don't opt to add an elbow like some art....)

[meteorol]

You want it. That's a small, but important difference.

I was always under the mistaken impression that it was just stretching out its arm forwards (something I wish we could do in this game) but after checking back you're right, the art and stats show its missing a lower left arm actuator. It's only one hardpoint though, not going to make much of a difference even if one variant has that number inflated.

I dread to see what Alexander "Everything must be Square" Iglesias will do to the bird on its shoulders.

No Mad Cat MKII please.

This must be the ugliest mech to ever be made. And it is competing against this also:

How in the world is that thing supposed to walk? It has no ankles and the toes and heels are part of the lower leg. And grill intakes on the heels itself? For what purpose? Jump jets?

Just give me a Bane, so that I can create a Smurf account for it, Load it up with cUAC2's, and feast on the Tears of the Tier 5 masses while screaming "RELEASE THE KRAKEN" in All Chat.
Or even better, 9 cLRM15s, and laugh manically while noobs spam the Forums with "LURMZ OP! MUST NERF NAIO!!!1!1"

That is not the Mad Cat MK II...not sure if triggered on purpose or accident!

You forgot to add :
Loosing side torsos from any angle have never been this easy

Unless PGI makes it like : shoot one of the boxes above arms destroys it and you only loose the weaponry within and not whole side torso.

[The6thMessenger]

Sure i guess. But i want Urbanmech IIC too!

People won't be laughing when the servers go offline.

ill be playing HBS's btech and patiently waiting what 10 years (how long was it from mw4 to mwo was it?) or so in hopes for just a slightly competent dev to try their hand at a legit MW5.

Tomorrow after work I'll get the quotes from two other town halls after for you.

Well Before I clicked that twitter I was neutral on your wish for MK2... Then I was greeted with>
"When will light mechs learn their job is scout and poke. Not speed run and brawl? Assaults are slow give us better armor for not being... "...able to run when we end up in the wrong place. Or left behind aka team nascar"

Now I hope no one, especially Russ ever listens to your opinion about MWO.

[TheArisen]

Well I want the Nightstar & I hope it comes sooner rather than later but I realize other people post their desires & what not.

I think, possibly maybe, that the Snova was chosen because newer gen mechs may make it less desirable if the Snova came after them.

I'd love Nightstar too but I think my love of Thug outways my love of Nightstar a little bit.

Well we already have 3 IS 80 tonners, 4 with Gargles, but just 1 IS 95 tonner. Also I'd say the Nstar offers greater build variety & would add more to the game in general.

Plus it's super gorgeous & it'd be easy for Alex to make an epic rendition... I tried to hold back but before I knew what happened I'd already typed that. Haha

[Metus regem]

The problem with the Miffed Kitty v2, is do you want what it should be, the facked up MW4 version or the TT version(s) that all have kit that we do not have in MWO now?

What it should be:

85t Omni-mech.

At 85t it is the perfect weight for a 4/6 with JJ's, it actually has more room to work with for payload over the 90t version...

Spoiler

This is an 85t version of it I used in a recent TT campaign.

The 90t MW4 version is called out as an Omni-mech, yet was just a Battle-mech, with the ability to mount more equipment than it should've been able too. As for the TT versions, well as I mentioned before most of the other variants come with new weapons and equipment that are not in the current MWO, and are not likely to be added to MWO, unless PGI can figure out how to actually code new weapons.... but I'm not holding my breath on that.

Mad Cat Mk II also has the problem of having arms that are as large as its torso and would be blown off in a few seconds. Not only that but the range on this thing means it is only going to contribute to the already broken way this game works, as everyone is going to use it for nothing but PokeWarrior online again.

PokeWarrior?

Mechwarrior Online is already PokeWarrior.

Have YOU collected them all yet?

No, i just play with King Crab and Kodiak, waiting for MK2.
In time, i used to play with Highlander in the beggining, couse of the lack of options back there.

[Requiemking]

No, we don't want the Mad Cat MK2. Stop trying to put words in everyone's mouths. I know a fair number of players who want Light mechs to not suck. I also know several who want Medium/Heavy/Assault agility quirks either nerfed or, my personal opinion, removed entirely.

[Mister Blastman]

No we don't.
