Interesting, 2 of the chassis are Clan based, 1 set for me, ...
& I would like to buy another as a gift but, for this Canadian, the 'order as a gift' option is broken:
The Ultimate pack isn't listed, and as the MWOMERCS Store won't let me add separate gifts to the cart & 'cash-out' all at once ...
... I'd have to buy the Collector Pack, & each of the 2 Add-On Mechs as separate purchases, each with separate charges & punitive credit card exchange rates vs the US dollar ...
Will this Pre-Order also be available in the Steam Store?

F YES! It's one of my two bucket list mechs! (the other is omen) LETS GO!!!

The BSK-M3 Bull Shark is from the HBS BattleTech turn-based game.

I made this picture, if you wish to take a look:



Of course, the 'Mech sports a different loadout: Paired AC-5s and AC-10s with quad lasers as a back-up. Quad LRM racks can be used to soften up the enemy.

PGI, please add NEW light mechs in this game, thank you!)

Don't ask too much, the last light mech (Incubus) was only released in september 2018, that's not even 6 years!

PS: Wasp+Stinger pack please

COOL time to save up some extra cash

[Will9761]

Given the fact that PGI has been helping HBS's BattleTech game by giving them their assets, I'm not surprised to see the Bullshark end up in MWO sooner or later. It's good to see the mech in the game.

As for HBS BattleTech, I really need to play the Heavy Metal DLC. I haven't touched it in ages.

Needs to be completely Clan even if it is apocryphal IS. Inner Sphere already has the Corsair and Banshee. Clan only has the Executioner Omni-mech.

[Omi Kurtia]

So the 4 is Clan... and the M is clan, but the rest are IS??

Technically, they released a pair of UrbanMech IICs a few months ago, but they are just rehashed IS UrbanMechs.

Tremendous

As a side note…I’ve never been able to figure out why PGI won’t give Ultimate Pack discounts. Marketing 101 - you give Bundle discounts to upsell your products.…incentivize, incentivize, incentivize

After ten years of playing MWO, you should know the PGI's pricing policy.

Seems to have a good mix of loadouts; not a big assault fan myself, but this one seems to have some merits.

[Ch_R0me]

First: IS OmniMech.
Now: the Mixed-Tech Artillery Mech. From HBS BT.. Without artillery (Like Hatchetman without melee).

But at least it can utilize BOTH Techs, like Annihilator (pretty much).

That's the wind of change, gents.

Now PGI, please announce you're upgrading the game engine

[Haman Karn]

Damn this mech looks cool, very nice aesthetic. Tempted to buy it on looks alone.
The amount of builds and interesting quirks is very nice too.
But assault mech :'(

my wallet just let out an exasperated sigh...

If anyone is confused as to whether this is supposed to be IS or Clan, it was made by the Minnesota Tribe, AKA Clan Wolverine. That being said, when they left clan space most of the tech being used there was still pristine IS tech, which is why most variants are using IS tech.

Unfortunately we don't have a Thumper in MWO but you can bet when the Bullshark Challenge event happens you will have the opportunity to earn Arty Strikes in bulk!

how about having the thumper cannon appear if someone equips the strikes in loadout?

the skill tree still list them as the um-63.... and we didn't get an ecm carrying one.

If we're going to introduce apocryphal mechs why can't we get a battlemaster IIC already?

What product is BattleMaster IIC from?

mechwarrior 2

I don't think it was directly called that since Mechwarrior 2 was played from the Clans perspective since they don't use the IIC prefix. it was part of the hidden mechs you had to unlock..


It's either a IIC or C
