It looks sexy as hell.

Ummmm...it comes with the Vulcan Nerve Pinch?

Something good about the Vulcan? It looks wicked awesome.

Also I expect its hitboxes to be pretty nice. The very slim profile should make it nice and easy to spread damage or avoid it altogether.

Buying even the basic pack supports the "screw HG in court" fund. that is enough to be worth if you ask me.

It errupts when you shoot it

Thoughts? Clans get the Piranha. We get this. It looks nice though.

315 engine plus 5 erml near max armor and full jj on majority of builds, at the least it can make a number of pokers maxxed. With some adjustments to jj or engine size it can do some long range builds. Gonna make a Clint with one of them :3

So sadly, only reason to pick this guy up is since it "might" have Assassin hitboxs and cause it looks "quirky", skinny and lanky.
See no reason lore wise, why I should grab it. Sad, I love grabbing IS mediums, like collecting them.

They are very strong. They were solely through logic. They can touch your head and connect their brain to yours. This is called a mind meld. They can also grab your neck and instantly kill you. This is called the Vulcan Death Grip.

How about because it exists in lore. I mean if your a collector an all, that is all that should matter.

Outside of lore, you have to look to the strengths and flaws of the mech and aside from it being too similar to the Assassin, it looks like it has most of what is required to be at the very least an above average performer.

other than that...i guess it looks neat? probably not a wise purchase unless you just love the mech and are willing to play it regardless of its performance.

One of the major problems right now is how bloated the mech selection is. Why should I buy a new mechpack when I have umpteen other mechs left to completely skill out? And if I'm going to buy mechs, why not just buy a mech that is already in game and is a known factor with good performance?

I feel like I could just buy an ASN-21 with c-bills and call it a day.

I may buy it, but I really wanted PGI to sell me on it (on other than appearance, that is). Hero looks ok, but everything else? I'm just scratching my head.

ASN-26
(With armor quirks, CT armor is full)

Psychomech was an idea i once had while drunk. And incredibly, it performs extremely well. Thus i hope to repeat this build with the Vulcan. Psychomech MK2

The variant will be depended on the quirks. The 2T, 5S and 6M are possible candidates

A Gauss version with an XL250 is also possible....But XL+ Gauss in ST.......how boy

the vulcan just seems like a really strange choice. there are plenty of other mechs that have more nostalgia appeal and more promise in terms of performance. i'm not upset that we're getting the vulcan, but i definitely don't think it's going to sell.
