Legends speak of a dark and tenebrous night, when the stars had aligned in ominous constellations, that a terrible and bloody battle took place.
A battle spoken of only in hushed tones, lest the wroth of the Urbie be called forth.
A battle where two terrifying Urbies-R80 (and their 10 barely-mentionable, kill-stealing sidekicks) carved a path of terror and destruction across a unsuspecting team of three lances.
A battle that saw only a single survivor, scarred for life by the horrific events.

Behold the aftermath of the might of the UrbanMech at your own risk.

Very embarrassed to ask, and it's not just your posting...

Q: When I click on your image, it just shows a small thumbnail sized photo...
ie: I cannot read the battle results, cannot even read what mech you were using, etc. etc.

So how can I get your full sized image file? Thanks!

Cool score but where both urbies stock?

I'm not trying to be mean here, 'TruMantas', but I think I'm going to laugh. Why? Two reasons...

• You're supposed to be on the winning side when you make it sound like the Enemy was thoroughly crushed, and NOT be on the losing side with an Enemy Mech still standing over your Mech's corpse. You got totally run over by someone who scored weaker than you, and that's kind of "blooper reel"-ish. I hope you left them listening to the "Fool's WarHorn" item after they killed you?
  
• You didn't use the PrintScreen Key to grab a screenshot into your MWO Data Save Folder and then upload it to the internet. Using your phone/camera to take a picture leaves the End-Of-Match Screen looking far worse than it should be, particularly in terms of readability and definition. It also makes it a lot harder to edit out anything you might not mean to show.

...and then I realized it wasn't funny enough to outright laugh, being it was barely enough to smirk in a positive manner over your attempt at humor. I guess you sort of succeeded, since it got a rise out of my face? Who knows how scarred that King Crab Pilot may have been?

That's odd, it shows as full sized for me. Are you using a mobile device? It seems to be an issue with the host, where you won't get full-scale resolution on mobile devices... If you access https://postlmg.cc/SXgTq53m, it should show a button to download the original size. Next time, I'll have to try a different host.

Oh I give him a pass on that. Two Urbanmechs did 2000 damage between them, both got top damage in the game, and their loss is an 11 to 12 result.

So cheers for the two of you topping 800 and 1100 damage respectively in an Urbie! As an honorific, I've added your pilot names to my "shoot them first" list!

Oh, barely losing i part of what makes it so funny. Alas, it was but only two meager Urbies versus a veritable horde. Not since Amaris' Coup had the odds ever been so stacked.
On the other hand, had there been three of us, the tale would have ended very differently.

For what it's worth, of their three last mechs I took down two. A Crusader sporting some medium lasers (and fortunately for me, terrible aim) , and a Mad Cat II (half-disarmed already).
It then came down to the 1v1 of legends.
UM-R80 vs KGC-001(S). But, as fate would have it, I got clipped in the side-torso, right in the XL170.

Cheers! A funny thing I've noticed, is that UrbanMechs have a secret quirk that make them invisible to most people, in the presence of other mechs. If you're faced with an Urbie and, say, an ASD-K7, people will always and erroneously go for the Atlas first. The fools.
