Is it me or is the head smaller than in the concept art? If so, no complaints there. Regardless, hopefully with that large head it comes with a lore-friendly bonus quirk to sensor range or something. I do worry a bit about the minor down-sling of the arms and how much extra exposure that will require.

Mmmm... lookin good When does it come out for mortals? December?

A tentacle monster from outer space?
It's the first time I'm a bit jealous about a stupid badge. ^^

I do not understand the second title / badge combination.

I believe its a Jellyfish, and they use poison.

The Rifleman IIC hero is named after a genus of jellyfish.

Would love to get the Rifleman but those engine caps... not worth buying a pack and the extras just to get 2 versions with decent engine caps.

Damn, the in game model looks gorgeous. I'm just confused about the first badge though. Ak-47's for the Rifleman IIC? Lol, should it be Anti-Air guns or something? Regardless I can't wait to pilot it when it drops in a week from now.

What's the problem exactly? It can fit JJs and it's a sniper with that armor and speed and ability to boat 6 UAC2 or a bunch of lasers. It's a clan battlemech therefore you can stack a lot of weightsaving stuff for lazors and dakka, from away and uphigh.

[Shell Game]

I always suspected based on the imagery of the Kerensky cockpit hologram that they, the clans, were Soviet aka Communist. Based on the first badge, confirmed!

There were a lot of comments about it looking like the squid from Spongbob Squarepants
Seems the team embraced that with a camo scheme and badge.

i realy hope this is not the last Mechpack(s) we get when i read R.B. Anouncement about ... the future of Mech Packs...

When a new mech is put in, PGI usually adds in other minor changes to MWO with a patch. Is there any improvement patches coming on the same day the Rifleman IIC is release?

[The6thMessenger]

Looks like's Squidward had enough of Spongebob and Patrick.

As far as we know, the FP overhaul is scheduled for the may patch. Also Hibernal Rift gets a tone-down in brightness. Other than that, we'll have to wait for the patch notes.

The 'mech returns from MW2.
