Looks like a good food, for a MAD CAT MKII

[JonDoeIowa]

Can we get scale shots of it soon? Side by side with Cheetah and Spider?

PS when is K9 shipping?

[Alvar Von Kenesthor]

Isn't the Torso too wide? To me, it looks like a dartboard with legs and arms attached, It may be flat as a commando, but it looks like a death trap when running in a straight line, not even zigzagging could save it from a Gauss shot (just like the commando)
Unless it ends up being really small or having amazing defensive quirks, I cant see it being any viable in competitive play versus the artic cheetah, but it's for sure that this one will replace the laser spiders

[Myke Pantera]

Looks good, except that the blue of the Hero pattern looks washed out compared to the concept art, but that's a rather solvable problem.

I hope all the missile tubes of the 10N, 10F & 11B fit into those lungs. I'd hate to see those silly external missile satchels like the fourth one on the Griffin 3M

Looking 4ward to it

Finally a new light will be joining the game soon, also looking forward to this mech!





*still waiting on that wasp/stinger double light combo pack though

[stealthraccoon]

So looking forward to this little guy - I can't wait for all the dive-bombing runs that will ensue (and once rocket launchers are out - ooh boy!). My Commandos always needed a little something more, and I think 5 more tons and some JJ's will do the trick!

This. ^

Hmm... PGI did something wrong with this announcement.
Shouldn´t be the Event Details be announced by now instead of the Javelin?

[Luscious Dan]

Are we ditching the countdown format?

As a side note, this chassis does look like a very versatile light, as you can emulate the style of the Commando, Firestarter, Oxide (with ECM), or mixed builds. Lots of torso weaponry to allow shaving of some armor off the arms. Big engine caps. Could be a ton of strong builds.

I assume the second M hardpoint in the side torsos will go in the little box below the main missile rack? And 3rd missile rack will be an add-on to the shoulder area?

I didnt preorder the Javelin, but glad to see another light coming to the game.

I also might add, Im STILL waiting for Flea and Fire Moth appearing in forthcoming mech packs. With engine desyncing there shouldnt be an excuse by PGI not to include them, even folks at PGI, at least for the Flea want it included. So at least hope for that one.
Enigne desync and the new skill tree could potentionally be a workaround regarding the speed limit (174 km/h??) issue for the MWO Cryengine. Making the Flea and Fire Moth avaiable. THAT or just give eml lower engine cap and hardpoint inflation.

Nope just starting the hype train rolling my friend.
Official Countdown will start next week.

Don't let us down, that last bit with the Assassin left us with sour grapes!

[Daniel Travieso]

Oh look another pointless Mech with hip level arm weapon mounts. Will there ever be any interesting new Mechs out with shoulder mounts or something new?

The hero mech 'Hi There!' and reinforcement 11A are the only Javelins with arm weapons - the Javelin is all about the torso mounts.
