I'm actually pretty happy with how the size turned out. I'm thinking it'll have pretty high base accel/decel and coupled with MASC it should make that wide *** forehead harder to hit. The only thing I don't like the look of for now is that giant lunch box of a left arm. Looks decently sized for a pair of ERPPC but lasers? Not so much...
Also this is the second release in a row where I think the standard badge looks better than the collector's one


Its going to have good mobility... And that is why pgi wont give it armor quircks+ its a clan omni... So no quircks.

The Dragon has lower arm actuators where the Black Lanner does not. I believe this is the original reason for the MWO Dragon arm.

I wonder if they could retroactively remove that actuator from the right arm. Considering that means it could then fit an AC20 I can't imagine it would be a particularly unpopular decision

So, a supposedly slim mech with no pod space and which looks nothing like concept art is TWICE wider than a bushwacker?

I'd gladly cancel my preorder at this point, but luckily I did not preorder this thing.

I wonder how many ppl actually own any of the Books. This mech is suppose to be the Fire support mech attached to light mechs for clan Jade Falcon.

I only remember it as the Mech that Diana's opponent in her Bloodname Trial chose for the battle in the caves. She used the Nova and Leif died in the Black Lanner.

Finally a clan bushwhacker . I never heard of this mech but I am so glad it was added . I was never a stormcrow fan.

Black laner design just screams CLAN MECH . Looks like timber wolf,s or mad cats lil brother and that's a mega huge plus in my books.

Defiantly on my to buy list .

Except that it will be nothing like the Bushwacker. Can barely fit proper weapons.

How about we fix that third pillar you promised ...
- Hell, we don't even have pilot profiles, or a way to make notes and remember who's who in our friends lists or unit...
- Give us community tools, give us some depth outside of simple pew-pew repetitive combat.

- Until then, I guess I'm really not terribly interested in new mech-X ... (would be if...)

In Prince of Havoc, there were two fighting in close-range in the ComStar vs Jade Falcon trial in the Great Refusal, there's one mentioned twice as it gets insta-killed at long range in Operation Audacity, Diana Pryde's Bloodname Trial in Falcon Rising (which was fought at close-range), and one of Diana's star-mates in the last battle of that same book was in one but it didn't really say how he was fighting.

Not tough to find, just ctrl+f through the books Jade Falcon's in. :P

Damn and here I went to all the trouble of reading the book. LOL. Of course, it was 8-10 years ago.

Was posed with cursor on the purchase, wobbling back and forth, then noticed early adopter bonuses had expired. I really need to read the stuff more often lol.

Fatter legs, fatter torso, fatter side torsos... the only thing the BL has that isn't fat is its arms.

Someone needs to tell the 3d modeler that Hitboxes matter.
