How do you get 22 minute long video out of that empty roadmap...

Lots of silence..

So if you look carefully at the roadmap you can see a new chassis is in line. Check out the preview image.

Yes its an Urbanmech IIC.

Somewhat, but the shape of hips and forearms is all wrong. Better contrast:

Legs & Hips look different but arms are pretty close to PHX-IIC IMO.

Whatever they use, they'll make their own model that closely resembles the Battletech art. And that art has changed over the years, so they have a lot of leeway. So its safe to say that the art isn't done yet, which is why they teased it so low resolution. But yeah, top contenders for a mech with torso, arms, legs, and tall back pods like what we (almost) see would be Phoenix Hawk IIc and Crusader.

Between which one was supposedly on the schedule before PGI stopped adding new chassis and one has been one of, if not THE most requested chassis among those that are not in the game yet.

Skin is nice indeed, looks a little like my Pakhet.

[Attercop]

Would a Crusader (or PH IIC) actually save this game all that much?

[w0qj]

It would the the first new mech chassis in years... personally I'm excited

Edit: And I hope that the hitbox for this new mech would be good; a selling point!

I want Locust IIc. Thanks....






Sweet dreams are made of these...

[Captain Caveman DE]

I'll happily take that Crusader, thanks.

I'd take a PhoenixIIC, too.


otoh the teaser is the perfect disguise to say 'Nah, it's what everybody really wants (whether you know it or not) - here's your UrbieIIC'



-the problem isn't the mech; it is actually HARD to click that mwo-icon and start it up, just to watch 20+ people running around in a circle for a few times..

[w0qj]

Actually I want all three of these mech chassis

The crusader? I thought they lost the right to use the Robotech artwork

It's a LOOOOOONG story... the short of which... Harmony who shall not be named never had the rights in the first place, so PGI, HBS, and others can use the Archer, Warhammer, Marauder, Rifleman, Phoenix Hawk and anything else from Bandai's Macross line.... more or less. Yet to be seen on that list includes Stinger, Wasp, (Valkyrie), Crusader, (Ostsol, Ostroc), and Longbow. The Stinger, Wasp, and Crusader were in the original 1984 Battledroids box set.

They never directly used it in the first place, the mechs inspired by those have been redesigned quite substantially and Alex's designs did a good job of referencing the originals without copying them.

Also, FFS, it's Macross. Harmony Gold slapped its' own branding on top of it without actually contributing.
