I like the catapult mech ever since my first mech death from the training instructor in MW2:Mercs 'don't shoot me' pfft boom

But i think this ones skin looks a little robotechy/ed209

That mechs scale is a bit off (too small) and it is also an unmanned vehicle, if you don't know the source it's Robocop.

Now if we get a Marauder, that could look like ED-209.

1 Light, 1 medium, 2 heavy, 1 assault revealed.

Assuming there are no 'mech reveals in August, but they continue all the way through the last week of July, that's likely* to round out to 3 of each class.

Likely: High degree of probability, but with a chance that something else will occur.

I always found this mech to be quite ferocious when used correctly. I cant wait to see how the loadout on this one will go.

Infinitely better looking than the MW4 version, I may actually want to own this bad boy. o.o

I can't believe my eyes... I have never liked any iteration of the Catapult in BattleTech; it's just looked like an odd and haphazard design in my eyes. You fine folk have completely changed that sentiment - I'm actually looking forward to piloting this 'Mech for once! And that's saying quite a bit.

Keep up the good work as always!

looks great not the best mech in my opinion but lots of folks like it, loved the commando reference in there too, can't wait to see what they look like.

Anyone else think it looks like a Stalker from MW4Mercs? Still awesome, I've always considered the Catapult to be a classic.

I need this beta....NOW! My inner child is about to explode.

Nice work devs! You almost made it sexy.

But *sigh* it's hard to get excited about the Mechwarrior version of this:

Nice, I just sobered up from the heavy boozing of the last couple of days, sweet surprise to see this mech.

Each concept art is better than the last in my opinion, I wonder what the last one is going to look like O.O. Keep up the good work.

Excellent, it is very good to have a decent fire support mech. let alone one that is able to jump about. a goodly part of my ideal lance has just shown up.
