Probably the new Unseens from Macross will no longer be in agreement with HG.

It has options, but yes those wide arms could prove an issue


Doubtful, since all the weapons are torso mounted anyway.

Of all possible mechs... why this one?

And why the departure from the way it looks in the lore? Why this ugly mech?

You could have given us a Crusader, Lao Hu or a Rakshasa.... and you went with this? Nah, thanks.. pass. No money from me.

The looks are very badass. Very modern, not this ancient humanoid looking robot thing that has been designed with the ability to scratch its balls like most mechs, but a real machine of war intended to carry weapons and wreck stuff up.

It will be quite some time before we see the "(C)" Edition. Sadly, I don't expect there to be many in the Community who will like the Mech. Too many HardPoints are all Torso-Mounted. Worse, if this Mech has "Land-Air Mech" origins, WHERE IS THE JUMP JETS ON MOST OF THE VARIANTS?!?!? I'm now starting to feel like PGI is making an intentional joke of the Mech, and it was hard to get my hands on one back in MicroProse's "MechWarrior 3"... Posted Image

~D. V. "I guess we'll find out if there's more interest or not, eh?" Devnull

The last event offered medium champions. When looking at the lists, it seems PGI stopped doing (C) variants a while ago - can't say I miss those, quite useless waste of in my eyes.
If you have a look at the Champions sarna.net page, you'll see that there are no variants except for the clantech one that has JJs. This time PGI is kinda keeping with established variants. The look is weird though.

As I look at this more, it starts looking like unique-skinned Rifleman. I think it would definitely look better if they took it down the Crab route for aesthetics and perhaps hit boxes and tankiness with full armor. But again, not sure what the lore-based legs were supposed to look like as any pictures I see were at weird angles.

Maybe next one will be the Argus or Crusader. I do want to see more pre-invasion mechs before more 3053+ mechs, so that was probably one of the reasons I was kinda glad to see the Champion. Though looks like it's living up to its lore reputation as being an under-performer from what I see in this thread lol.

I love all the anger over us getting another SLDF/Succession War mech. You guys do know they're trying to diversify MW5 as much as possible, right? And get models for HBS to use? Sure it'd be nice to see the Argus, but I want some more of these mechs. The Champion is one of those weird mechs that doesn't get enough love. Let it have a moment.


You speak reaon. Cant have that you know Posted Image

Otherwise. Yeah looks good, nice to know its sides are symmetrical unless a certain Nightstars left side torso hardpoints....

It indeed looks like a mini star...

Looks like it will be a 60ton bushwacker... with REALLY big shield arms.


Actually, it will be the IS version of the Ebon Jag/Cauldron Born, except the Champion will be superior, since most of the Ebon Jag builds will be worthless after the Clan Nerfs and the Champion will assuredly get extra-generous durability quirks. So if you want to buy a Mech, I would pass on the Hellfire and buy this one.

Artwork looks nice except that the legs seem to be a bit skinny compared to those fat arms.

I find it hilarious-I'm pretty sure some guy called this a few days ago when people were wondering about this month's mech.

That said,the amount of people complaining "But I wanted (insert other obscure and crappy mech here)" is always funny when you guys release an unexpected machine.

Of all the mechs... you chose this one...


It's been a popular and frequently requested mech for the entire lifespan of MWO sooo....?

Like is this what we do now, whine about wanting a mech for years and when it finally comes complain that they picked it over something else?
