Oh hell yeah, very pleased with this addition!

[Marquis De Lafayette]

In looking at it I can’t help but think: div 6...maybe even div 7 for a variant or two...just my first thoughts...

[Flay123]

The IS really needed a 40 ton mech with great hitboxes! Oh wait

[Ensaine]

Not interested.

[TheLuc]

no quad, no buy.

[Vladosteron]

Really a great Choice! Thank you. Standard Pack Preordered.

[5th Fedcom Rat]

The Vulcan is a classic mech in the BT universe. Love it.

Hey now, even I love the Vulcan!

[Jullian Starfingers]

Good one the Vulcan i love it
Pre-ordered thank you PGI

[Will9761]

So what's the next medium for the Clans? Shadow Hawk IIC, Griffin IIC, Grendel, Phantom, Pouncer?

[CycKath]

Not on The List, but nice to see another TRO3025 'Mech. More variety for MW5 and BattleTech DLC doesn't hurt too...

[Jaspbo1]

Odd choice! Was hoping for this thing to rear it's football head at some point, though there's a slight issue...

How does the pilot look at the infantry with such a narrow cockpit? You'd think, practically, it'd have glass towards the ground as well but oh well!

Still, looks faithful and beasty, though it's hard points will certainly make an interesting transition to the battlefield.

[Nelos Kniven]

Nice! Amazing, for a non Urbie IIC

Sign me up to the "Wasn't expecting this club," while at the same time renewing my subscription to "This is for the new Battletech game/MechWarrior 5 DLC" Magazine.

Now, discounting Unseens we'll likely never see, which would be... most of them, that leaves from 3025 alone the...
-Clint
-Hermes II
-Whitworth
-Dervish
-Charger

And, of course, that's not accounting for the Star League designs, and the new stuff in 3039. My money's on the Charger, personally.

Ah, moot point, there's gonna be a Clan Pack up next. And assuming the pattern is "preview stuff that's gonna be in MW5", we're looking at possibly the...
-Battle Cobra
-Thresher
-Crossbow
-Grizzly
-Kingfisher

That dang Harmony Gold thing stifles things so far, but if PGI can solve it, that opens up a lot of possibilities. In the meantime, feel free to surprise me, PGI! You've done a good job of it so far!

[Damnedtroll]

It look like the sourcebook Vulcan big time !!! Look nice !

[Lizardman from Hollywood]

Have to remember that they are modeling for MW5 and BT now. We might get a few mechs from now til December that are a bit odd or break the mould. I personally always liked the Clint, but it's not flush for extra models(to fill out a mech pack). I would love to have them model in the hatchetman and axeman. They already put fake axes in Solaris, it would be nice to have for BT.

[Zookeeper Dan]

I've been waiting for the Vulcan but I never thought it would happen!

Very excited!

Hitboxes look pretty good, actually. They look something like the Assassin.

[Odanan]

I will be honest: the mech looks hideous, but in a good way.

After the Men Shen, the Scarecrow Vulcan would be my preferred choice for next IS medium.

But please, please PGI, give it at least another 1 ballistic hardpoint to all variants! (the left arm looks a good place for it)

Agreed.
Now the Charger is the best next IS assault candidate.

[Trenchbird]

This is a decision I honestly did not see coming.

Especially because the damn thing, built for Anti-Infantry work, cannot MG spam. Christ, at leave give the IS an 8MG option.
