What Paul does not know, we've flipped the throttle controls on his Catapult.


Let's see if he notices. ;)

Well, this is gonna be great! Another magnificent piece of work.
They actually look exactly like the concept art, in game?
Awesome!

One of the best proportioned Catapults to date. It has long been one of my favorites and Flying Debris has out done himself this time. I love it.

I'm sure we've all noticed how Catapults look like Mickey Mouse. Did you know that "Mickey Mouse Club" has 15 letters in the name, and that the Catapult mounts two LRM15 launchers? This means each missile fired per launcher per salvo can have a single letter painted on it so every time you launch, your target is killed by the Mickey Mouse Club.

I like how the mech design in this new Mechwarrior looks more realistic,like a warfare machine,hope the movement system looks real too,even im a Mech fan,i have to say the older Mech game has some bad things in design,and movement of Mechs make me laugh cuz i think if it shaking like that,the pilot would die.Good luck Piranha,i hope you guys doing it good!<3

What other variants will there be besides the pair of LRM 15s, and the 4 medium missiles? Also what size are the cupholders in the cockpit?

And we just keep giving...

Factoid - I fought tooth and nail, whined and sniveled and even outright berated several staff/owners/strangers on the street to get this BattleMech into the game. ;)


Wait wait... so you're saying you had to FIGHT to get such an iconic mech put into MechWarrior Online? I find that newsworthy and frankly shocking. I'm not sure how it could possibly be controversial.

Thanks for the hi-res! Now, about those faction insignias...

... or no faction insignias, more mechs takes priority over some Dihm request, right? ;)

So, about that insignia on the missile door. I'm not up on my Liao units, but that sure looks like a recolored UN Spacey logo , tipped over, with a "4" scrawled on it. Any one else see that?

We know that C3 and Arrow IV will be ready soon because they're in the ISN feeds...

I can't wait to see a group of three C3-slaved Catapults on a ridge line, all armed with Arrows and linked to a forward-observer's Command scout Mech (since the Command Module of a C3 system is TAG-enabled)...


That would be the most frightening scout EVER.

Its the New Logo for the 4th Tau Ceti Ranger Merc/House Unit.

Sharp eyes show Randall tipping his hat to the Commando in the fluff.

Your next 'Mech debut (and Steiner's 1st) awaits!
