I can just see a DDC and one of these walking through Solaris City, with the Theme to Bad Boys playing, and someone changes the words....

"Fat boys, Fat boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when we pugstomp you?..."

A atlas ddc, annihilator 2a, and a fafnir 5e lumber into a brawl ....

I would have loved to see the Longbow, and if that's what was put out today, I would be whipping out the credit card already. Sadly, I can't find any reason to buy the Fafnirs (even if I do like the mech).

Nope. That one is one of the unseens and currently apart of the lawsuit brought on by E-Harmony Gold-diggers. Consider the Longbow . . . off limits for now.

Don't worry though. You're not alone. My unit Commander is named for that `Mech, and like him, we both want it as much as you. gripe @ E-Harmony Gold-Diggers. They're the ones keeping us from the rest of the unseens like the Longbow, Crusader, Valkyrie, Ost's Mechs, Bombardier, and Clan versions of the current `Mechs we have now, like the Rifleman and Warhammer. Just to name a few. So again, gripe @ E-Harmony Gold-Diggers; not PGI.

Looks great, but as someone who only buys S or Hero variants, I will pass because of hard-points.. mediocre

Just in case, I don't suppose that 325 max engine rating is a typo, and it should be 360? Only, the non-Hero Atlas & King Crabs all come with a 300 rated engine and have a cap of 360, even the ECM capable AS7-D-DC, but the Fafnir is left with a 325.

Just wondering.

But the Atlas Bores Head can have a 400.

Which is why I said non-Hero ones

"Maybe one day they'll put a mech up for preoder that I don't immediately want. OH YOU *******!"
Added bonus that 2 of them are ECM capable, all of them have stock DHS and most of them have stock endo. This'll be fun.
Also whoever said sniper assaults aren't supposed to be a thing, the Dire Whale champion is a double gauss pin point sniper build. Unless you think that's an abomination

[The Boneshaman]

paint job is a bit piss poor. back when i first started painting my miniatures. I'm sure my painting skills have gotten worse. haven't painted mechs in 15 or so years

So from what I am hearing this is a nostalgia mech huh?

I couldn't find a way to get Mechwarrior 4 but I hearing this mech was one the the best assaults in the in the game. Interested to see how it will perform in MWO.

[YUyahoo]

the fafnir,WOW, looks incredible...but honestly yet another 3 pack when we now only need one of any mech to skill up? Also given the cost of leveling up mechs now, why not add some SP into the packages at least? Hopefully at some point in 2018 PGI's marketing model will "catch up" to the 2017 game model. Stellar looking mech though!


PS: PGI you guys spelled crusader wrong...again!

[SQW]

So...what's so special about this mech? We've got plenty of dual gauss assaults already not that dual gauss build is particularly useful given MWO's map design. Nostalgia? Pokemech syndrome?

A atlas ddc, annihilator 2a, and a fafnir 5e lumber into a brawl ....

...the atlas ddc turns to the annihilator 2a and says "Hey, where's the team?"

The annihilator 2a peeks over a building with its periscope cockpit, gets promptly shot before returning to cover and says "Found em. They all Nascared into the enemy team and got rolled."

This makes the atlas ddc sweat bullets.

Meanwhile the fafnir 5e is slowly positioning into a dead end building. The other two assaults look at him funny like, dude, wtf are you doing?

And the fafnir 5e calmly replies, "I'm setting up an ambush. Might as well do something different before we die."

The other two mechs look at each other for a solid minute before deciding, why not. It's just a game after all. Might as well go down swinging.

So they all nuzzle up their rear torsos against the nearest dead end buildings, ramp their seismic sensors to max tolerated by the community, and prepare for the ambush fights of their lives.

Wanna know more? YOU decide what happens next!

We should get stocking stuffers if we buy this .. since the Stocking Stuffer event was extended and the period to buy the SUnSpider with pre-order rewards seemed very short (and I missed it!). Please PGI?
