Yup.
Sort saw it coming.

Woulda preferred a Valkyrie, but the Javelin is probably the better robbit.

Huh... 15 bucks instead of 20, for the Lights.
Will the Urbanmech get discounted to this new price as well, for anyone still interested in the ol' Garbage Can?

It's a bit too limited for me. I'll get it for C-bills. $25 to get all the good variants is too much for me.

Not a bad looking mech. A little vanilla, maybe.

Was really hoping for the Stinger, Wasp or the Valkyrie but at least we'll have a decent missile-focused Light Mech, shame the three best variants are behind additional paywalls. Regardless though, they do have my money, this will be a fun SRM boat.

First thought was DOA as its up against ECM Lights, but they have an ECM version, so maybe not so bad.

Loved this mech in game all those years ago.

Javelin is not a bad Mech for 30 tons.

Unless missiles really disagree with this chassis, it's looking to be the best IS 30 tonner.

Impossible, for that title it has to compete with the Urbanmech (and nothing can be better than the Urbanmech)

Oxide "light" with JJs or ECM, no PGI invented variants (I can forgive the Hero's) and as always great artwork. Would have been sold to me, but I am a filthy clanner. Anyway, that's what the game needs, good job with that one!

PS: There is also 11F variant with new tech (Snub-nose PPC and 6MGs), which I hope will appear eventually. It's hell of a mech in TT.

- Seems nice mech. especially ECM one.
But 3 of 5 models strictly missile... ammo and light mech not a good combination unless it low like jenner or locust. Also I'm afraid of that bulky chest of that mech. Easy to hit and kill if it have XL, but with STD it have pretty nice speed. Interesting how many DHS need to put in that mech to make it drive. Funny if no less than 2-3 as always, which prevent players use srm+artemis by size and tonnage, or force put DHS in hands. Worst idea if without them mech become running hot plate.
I still hope I see the day when DHS for light mech would be optimized better.
If that mech would be as high as panther... ew...
