Well, i'd call it "Grid Iron IIC", but i had a story for it. Posted Image

Your thoughts? Would you like a Grid-Iron-ish hero again?

Also known as the "The Grid Iron WISHES it wasn't a huge piece of bullcrap and had a body like mine."

The George Foreman IIC. When Foreman was in his late 30s early Forties and fighting to raise money, most high level pros said "nobody wants to take a punch from Foreman".

Should drop either 2 energy or 1 missile and one 1 ballistic slot.
Otherwise it will clash with its own hbk-IIc lineup. (or 2x energy each arm maybe)

The background story is boss tho. Many internets for you!

(tho, i would have liked it more if the hero was salvaged from 4-7 different hunchies. Like the IIC as a base, the left torso from a IIC-B variant (all what was left of it) and so on.)
I can picture the camo mashup with overpaint.. hnnng.. i'd buy it.. totally instabuy it..

And the plot-twist? Since it's salvaged, the HBK IIC LM is a Inner Sphere mech for FP!

I think since there is already an Origin version with a cbill boost this should be one of the last to get a hero.

There's no way they would waste that much armor on a hunchback IIC-- that's valuable clan resources! :P

I dont think any solahma/garrison mech deserves to get a hero variant - its not what they are made for.

Hey you finally made one of these that isn't just a power creep dream. Of course, it's garbage instead. Pretty much the only useful thing that could be added to the HBK IIC chassis is one with a ballistic ST and an energy ST.

Name of that hero? "Mr. Meta"? Hunchies are fairly decent, no need to powercreep them even further.

Should I be looking at this with creative lenses, or customer lenses?

Because I default to the latter. It doesn't seem like your custom designs are ever really meant to entice people to buy.

You're not wrong, but this combo is garbage.

I could not see a Hunchback IIC as a hero mech lol. considering no "hero" of the Clans would be stuck in one...unless they REALLY messed up. This thing is so odd to see it succeed in this game considering by lore its suppose to be a death trap meant to die in while doing as much damage as possible. 6

Yup. Makes me sad that ppl keep on asking for more of these stupid IIC mechs to be added. Also makes me sad that these mechs perform better than some omnis. Says alot about the sorry state of this game.

I don't get that, every clan'mech has a boosted version. Most have heros now, only origin, wave II and Wave III are missing. Besides, some wave II & III have (S) variants too.

Aww, must suck not having fun unless there's a winning screen at the end.
Seriously tho, i don't think that every mech must be a get to go meta-hard maschine. I've got so many mechs which i bought and pilot just for fun and not with a "must win" mindset.
Oh, and errrm.. i guess, you haven't piloted many non metard mechs lately if you honstly think that uac20+2 a-srm6 are a garbage combo. Posted Image

Oh, I have fun. And I pilot lots of junk mechs (PXH heroes right now), I just make the best of them in the mech lab. But you're wrong about the cUAC20. It was really bad before the jam chance change (and I had a bit of a soft spot for it because it was kindof fun). Now it is flat unusable trash.

That's what happened, Yuna pieced together an HBK "erroneously", using the base of the dead Clan Smoke Jaguar woman's HBK-IIC.
