...and they did:



Why can't I stick an Urbie in the back of my Atlas?

I mean, how cool would that be? You'd be walking along, and a Mist Lynx G would try to leg you, but no! You pop out your Urbie and now it's on like Donkey Kong!

Or you're walking along, and your Atlas falls off the bridge in Canyon. And you're thinking, "Aww, crap I was just about to finish off that cored out Marauder! IIC" and now you have to walk all the way around the cliffs looking for a way up. Except no! You pop out your Urbie, jump jet back up, and lay some UrbieSmackDown™ on that filthy Clan interloper.

Or you're leading a push in a group of pugs, who like pugs are often wont to do, don't push with you leaving you nearly obliterated. You're thinking, "$%#$%!!!! pugs!!" and also "Now what am I going to do for the rest of the match since my Atlas is blown to hell?" Well, you already know what I'm going to say. That's right. You pop out the Urbie and go TK the hell out of your cowardly pug "friends."

So, c'mon, PGI. Let us have our Urbie-compo!

Urbanmechs are a waste of tonnage, use a Spider,Cheetah,Commando,Jenner instead.

You must not play to many urban mechs.

They are much better then any other IS light aside from the WLF and id say was on par with everything but the ACH which is of course better.





OP,

I want an urban mech to be the Unique Geo head on my atlas and when i hit eject my 30 tonner pops out of its big boy pants and starts biting off ankles!

You are absolutely right on that, because they are so BAD!
I'd get more damage and survivability using a Commando TDK Instead
Commando TDK has good armor quirks and comes with 167.4kph (fastest light in the game)
not to mention the commando can rely on itself and not others unlike the urbanmech which only gets 105kph max
all it takes is 3 ATMS at 200m to kill a urbanmech wheras a Commando can juke the ATMs if they are moving right.

I hereby command this man to be granted his wish on the following conditions:

1.He sacrifices 30 tonns in his Atlas loadout to carry his backup Urbanmech.
2.He also must fit Backup Urbanmech Strapping System at the cost of 2 tonns and and 3 critical slots in each side torso.

So is my will and through me the will of Grandpa Kerensky. Seyla!

Here OP, hope this helps.

You'd probably need the critslot in the head too; gotta get to the damn thing somehow.

With full survival tree, you can end up with over 70 CT armor on an Urbie right now- combined with the possible structure bonuses, almost 100hp. It runs as fast as most mediums do, it's smaller than just about anything besides a Locust, and it can facetank assault 'Mech alphas. It's one of the best lights in the game. Truly, the foretold coming of the Urbpocalypse is nigh. Underestimate the trashcan at your own peril.

This make Baby Urbie Jesus^tm sad.

[FupDup]

If nothing else, the Urbie is surprisingly the best slow gunboat light in MWO right now. It tends to have less punch than the Clan slow lights, but the hitboxes and massive armor quirks more than make up for it.

[MischiefSC]

It's punchy, small and reasonably nimble. For 30 tons it's a great choice.

Spider...
And you say Urbie is a waste of tonnage.

I would totally play as an Elemental provided I can jump up, land on the left eye of an Atlas, moon him, and then start tearing into the cockpit

Wrong K-9 will defeat most of those mechs easily.

[knight-of-ni]

My Urbie don't want none unless you got quirks, hun.

But it gender identifies as a motorcycle, and who are you to try to force it into your binary way of thinking!

[Roughneck45]

Just pretend. That's what I do when I'm building assaults.

My Warhawk doesn't have 4 PPCs, it has two Adders for arms.

I concede and apologize to any two wheeled abominations I may have offended with post.
