built with the 200 XL you can fit the LB20X with 3 tons ammo if you strip the arms and head completely of armor.

ehhhh... so a maximum damage output of 540 assuming you don't miss anything, not even a pellet. No thanks.

Ya. at that point you might as well run the Adder, with an LB20 and some back ups. way better survivability to boot. I mean I get it, the whole appeal of doing it because you probably shouldn't. In this case, it's really not applying what the mech's strong suits should be - delivering more firepower than a cheetah, at higher speeds.

Yep slapping a lbx20 on there is a bad idea....especially since you wouldn't get any other weapons.

Two more images on the countdown page, but since I'm on my phone atm I can't copy and paste the to this forum. But know we got the whole body image of the mech I can say it doesn't have that slight bent knee that some humanoid mechs have but legs do seems thicker below the knees , and do see some.concern bout the torsos a bit but I can see it as less of a real issue overall.

And they still look good.

[Jackal Noble]

It's the arms. The arms are really bad and need to be fixed more than anything

Looking forward to seeing what people use for load outs. I have some in mind, but i'll wait till its actually in hand to play with.

Has anyone used the term Stinkubus to describe it yet?

Or you could rock it with dual UAC2s, which would make it a Plinkubus!

Or a different weapon on every single mount for a Kitchen Sinkubus?

[Pariah Devalis]

I'm not gonna say it's DOA. It's pretty fast, and has great mount placement. However, every time there is a light mech without Jump Jets, I am somewhat disappointed. JJ on lights and mediums actually have lift, and it's so fun to fly!

[Abaddun]

It's definitely not going to be DOA. Those hardpoints and that frame will make this mech a top contender.

[Battlemaster56]

The size comparison is out and I can say it at a good spot in size it's barely bigger than the Cheetah and around the same size of the Javelin as predicted.

[Jackal Noble]

It's wider than the Javelin, noticeably so.

I'm hyped, but I actually like the transformer-style gun from the concept. It looks like that got dropped.

[wild knight]

No thats the Hero which mounts missiles. Missile guns would look weird lol

[Y E O N N E]

Miniature Battlemaster.

I'm kind of depressed it doesn't have a fixed missile gun for the variant that uses them for the arm location. It would have brought back great feels of the Rocklet gun from Planetside 1.

[Battlemaster56]

Well since it out today gotta say I love my Bumblebee look on the default camo.




I say I got it close to the source.

[Viking Yelling]

I see you PGI! putting that silly upper torso sway to make it harder to target.


I'd like to try the INC-4 with 4HSL, and 3 ML/HML.
not sure how good it's gonna be. probably just another pain-in-the-*** fast mech.

[Battlemaster56]

It runs real smoothly than expected, I thought they gonna keep down a bit but so far I'm enjoying so far.
