To those complaining about hardpoints. These are all the variants that can use the tech level in game. The other variants require weapons tech that is Jihad/Dark Age era, which is not available in game.

I predict a two-pack next of Wasp and Stinger, then later down the line a Crusader. And even if the game isn't around that long, it might show up in MechWarrior 5/the next Battletech expansion. Either way, glad to see Harmony Gold rust.

Harmony Gold might as well be called "Tarnished Gold" at this point.

Or “Fools Gold”

Excellent nickname for them. I love it!

Too much Missile+Energy redundancy, I hope the third one should have arm ballistics.

[BEARDOOM]

This was my favorite!!!
But no more hooking.
This game needs mooooore!

[Trystan Thorne]

As a huge Warhammer Fan, I might get this.
But looking at the hardpoints, I think the standard pack + hero addon is more than enough for me.

The IIC is pretty much your standard Warhammer build.
The IIC-2 offers a nice SRM brawl build option.
The Maul is interesting for having two balistic hardpoints.

The IIC-3 (might even sell it), IIC-4 and the IIC-10 don't offer anything the other three can't give you IMHO.
Not sure if the IIC-10 with it's missing lower actuators has a few extra options.
Probably more if it would have been balistic hardpoints in the arms.

Also, will we be seeing the IS Warhammer getting its arm hardpoints raised somewhat? The art for the Clan Warhammer looks like its arm hardpoints will be much more favorably located, and if we could get that translated over to the IS Warhammer as well, that'd be super great.

the IS Warhammer is one of the strongest IS mechs though - it really doesn't need buffs.

MAXIMUM PROFIT FOR MINIMAL EFFORT. This mech is the poster child of MWO since 2016.

I'm curious as to why you say that as last I remember was this mech in the TRO a long time before 2016?

[Thorn Hallis]

No Crusader, no money.

[Jay Leon Hart]

Nice, I guess.

If the Standard Pack had a Ballistic variant, then I'd buy it, but it doesn't do anything new, so maybe I'll get it for C-Bills.

Glad some people are happy though, plus I get to skip my first Clan 'mech this year, so that's good.

What is with all the panic around February?
For me the variants are all just too similar, I only want special and hero mechs, I have no real interest in 5 of the same flavour mechs.

It is interesting how similar these are, I keep wondering if they've made a mistake. I just ordered basic and hero to cover the bases.

[Will9761]

If I ever get the Hero Variant, I am going to add the word Darth to it and paint it red and black.

[Magik Jack]

was kind of hoping there would be a variant with 2 ballistics in each torso, but alas...

[Ery]

The variants all look the same. 1 ore 2 hardpoints more would have done well. Only 1 ballistic variant and it has only 2 ballistic hardpoinds.

Unless FIlmRise is a shell company they own, they've actually re-licensed the broadcast rights to the three original series already, as the original japanese broadcast versions (complete with nudity and adult themes) are on Amazon Prime. I'm about a dozen episodes into re-watching the original Super Dimensional Fortresss : Macross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada is next on my series watch list after that.

Edit... i binged episodes 12 thru 27... 9 to go on macross.

Released in feb '19.

I'll be surprised if the game is still going by then judging by the daily threads appearing about the **** 'matchmaker'.
