I doubt there will be anything except 3025's era mechs until MW5 release. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Marauder II pre-order is live until end of Feb, so maybe March?
Also, do we think it's winding down to a 'mech every other month now, until MW5 launch? It can only help QC (for both), I suppose.

Could be an extended promotion to generate more awareness for MW5, since the MAD II releases a month after the pre order duration. Who knows, we might get a surprise mid February since the MAD II was announced somewhat in the middle of January.

It would be illogical to throw all their eggs in one basket for MW5 promotion, although I get what you are saying. They'll probably continue the Clan - IS cycle of releasing things. There's still a healthy selection of mechs (that people want to throw their money at including myself) that are still untapped for MW:O. After all, they still have until mid 2020 until their license expires. They could have thrown in the towel mid 2018, but after the HG fiasco they certainly didn't give up on the franchise and here we are.

Holy sh*t, it's finally here! I am a very happy man right now.

Edit: Bought the collector's pack. I'm thinking about getting the hero too but unfortunately I can't get it now atm. Did anyone notice that the top running speed is 48.6 kmph? Shouldn't it be 54 kmph?

It's supposed to be the advanced sensor suite (mainly anti aircraft radar) that the Rifleman IIC inherited from its predecessor ... but that thing is still harmless compared to the Glass Spider's radar dish ...

The radar dish wont be a factor from a frontal hill peaking point of view. I've already discussed previously in this thread how PGI could work out the radar dish if they go for a larger radar dish profile. Before we all scream bloody murder about the head hit box, we will just have to wait what design PGI goes with and see what it will look like in game. If it turns out to be reseen redesign then the radar dish wont be an issue.

For all we know, it might get the MAD-IIC treatment and end up getting a really good, narrow slim profile for hill peaking. Your Stone Rhino on the other hand is going to be a large hitbox bloated monster if it ever drops in MW:O.

If it looks to be anything like that in game it'll be a LRM sponge and a light mechs wet dream.


That art makes the Stone Rhino look like a shoe horn.. no.

Yes, now that the Rifleman IIC is done and over with, let's see Flydebris take on the rest of the Ghost Bear's Legacy mechs. Mostly the Horned Owl, Phantom, Grizzly, and Stone Rhino.

Have you been hiding under a rock? I mean being that I know you are all about the SR, I find it hard to believe you haven't seen jjm1's rendition. Ironically enough, I've never seen whatever that other pic is supposed to be.
