thanks! I'm still kinda giddy...which is kind of silly... but I mean... if a person was a huge Star Wars or Trek geek and got to be in the show, or canon... they'd geek out... Well, Battletech has been my Star Wars for 30 yrs.

And to think that the engine / movement decoupling will be here when K9 drops... Std60 Engine Urbie will actually function!!

I've heard nothing, and would feel a tad like a cad to ask, tbh... I mean I already was given my own Hero Mech in game and canon, along with being gifted it by PGI (sort of, long story there)...so I feel odd asking things that may be taken as ...being a bit of a diva, ya know?

Hmmm... Even with my current concerns and unwillingness to spend money on MWO I may just have to buy this just because.

Yeah, that will be awesome. $10 isn't too bad either all things considered.

I went to Jack in the Box for a chicken sandwich yesterday - left that place $9.70 poorer and with a grease stain on my slacks... heck I don't even think my wife and I can get through Starbucks for less than $15?

$10 for a badass, locally grown Urbanmech hero is a great deal!

I traced the color channels in the promotional, and simply switched the battleship grey to a white...

and TBH, aside from the massive black police car pushbars on the chest...it's pretty dang close.


thanks man, I really appreciate that.

Keep eyes on this thread... should be an announcement on it in the next day or two..... Posted Image

Bishop i was reffering to the pic of the deputiy dawg chasing the car direns blazing..Its just such a cool idea to use a fast urbie as a massive police cruiser in some imagined future.

well..still 4 months away..maybe if enough people ask Mark real nice, he might find the time to squeeze one one. I do think the Bullbar just completes the look.

First, let me confirm that the lights on the UrbanMech hero will function! Though we are currently deciding on exactly how they will trigger

Woot!

I'm guessing they are deciding between kill activation, like a warhorn, or a toggle like missile doors.
