I'm betting one Clan, one IS?

Or maybe something new and tasty, a couple of IS Omnis? No Juodas, no quads!

Yes! The upcoming (IS) Preoder will be added to the Annual Rewards Program for qualification.

As will the October (Clan) Preorder.

Enough Hints for you guys...

This wording implies that the August 31st mechs are both IS.

I'm not expecting IS Omnis because 1. PGI hasn't been shown to be very ambitious lately and 2. I would expect a full quadruple pack for that.

I wonder if it's going to be an IS 'mech and it's corresponding IIC? Like the Wyvern or Guillotine or something?

Although I suppose it's probably more likely that PGI is like "hey it's 100 'mechs, that's a lot, let's have two!"

Well, hum. Stinger/Wasp?

[Jackal Noble]

Hammer & Anvil?

[R79TCom1 Night Lanner]

Wasp and Stinger is my guess.

Egad that would be crazy sauce

[VonBruinwald]

Maybe a "MK-II Pack"... Rifleman II and Marauder II...

[CanadianCyrus]

Anyone familiar with the lore know if this event happened in any of the books? If so what was the year it happened? I think nailing that down may be a clue as to what mechs might be showing up on Friday.

Turtle Bay was in the initial clan invasion of 3050.

[Dame Irulan]

Well...the Hollander II?

[Jonathan8883]

I agree, likely Stinger/Wasp.
Or Stinger/Wasp + Crusader.

'Mechs named in the Turtle Bay conflict:
Phoenix Hawk (Shin Yodama)
Dragon/Grand Dragon (Hohiro Kurita)
Dire Wolf (CSJ vs. Buddhist Monk stepping up)
Toad/Elemental

That's basically it unless there's a throw-away Dasher or some other one-line Omni.

Would confirm some parts of what is allowed after the war with HG.

[Appogee]

JUST what this game needs ... more Mechs!

The player count will surely increase on the basis of this game-changing news!!!

[WrathOfDeadguy]

Argus and Chimera?

[CycKath]

Charger and Hatamoto-Chi

[LordNothing]

hoping for light mechs, especially clan lights.

[Jackal Noble]

[Jonathan8883]

Maybe it's a 2-is-4 for extra confusion.

Mech 1: Stinger/Wasp
Mech 2: Charger/Hatamoto-Chi

[Jackal Noble]

K, how about now. Any of the red circled ones really stand out?

I know the Hatamoto-Chi had some sort of weird push earlier this year for it. Komodo could be nasty. Venom is meh, but the movie is coming out lol and it was built in direct response to losses suffered to Clan invasion.

Daikyu is kinda funky, but has decent armament in bad spots with a good top engine size.
