Well I was gonna spend this money on helldivers but then Sony decided they dont want my money.
Soo I guess Ill buy this beauty of a mech instead.
The 5 and 4 variants look especially interesting.

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!

Would be hilarious if we could get one with a bonus arty strike built in, haha!

Whoa, this is my baby! Like, I designed and modeled this bad boy for the Heavy Metal expansion when I was at HBS, haha


I'm so pumped to see it here! I know our models work very differently, so big respect to whoever had to remodel this thing to make it MWO worthy.

Making this mech may have been my favorite project at PGI so far.

I have not seen those other skins before, I love them! May look into adapting some of them for MWO when I have time...

It might not be a Firemoth or Kingfisher, but it seems to have made many HBS BattleTech fans happy

The Deathless Skin reminds me of the Project Phoenix Skins.

This is awesome and I haven't played much with this mech in BT but ready to play it in MWO.
Though this does make me want to say one thing... Rakshasa when?

[GreyNovember]

So wait

Am I going to have to wait for like 10 minutes every match before I can drop in it? Because everyone plays Assaults and Heavies anyway?

Meh. Turkina would've been much more fun.

1000% agree. Specially with MW5 clans coming it was one of my guesses for this new mech release. But the Bullshark already had existing assets mind you...

When will PGI do something about instance death to the loss of the first ST on an XL engine?

How did you folks get the rights to that model?

Excellent work translating the design. I'm curious if you guys were able to keep any parts of the original model or did you have to basically start from scratch?

I was absolutely thinking about how this guy would play in MWO when I designed it, so I tried to keep all the mounts as close to the cockpit as possible. Side torsos ended up chunkier/wider than I originally wanted as we crammed more weapons into it, but hey that just keeps it from being too OP right?

Anyway, thanks for making this a reality. I seriously can't wait to jump into the cockpit!

I don't know the exact details since I joined HBS as Battletech was already well underway, but my understanding is that HBS and PGI had an arrangement to share assets. Unfortunately the models HBS produced were much more simplified than what PGI uses, so it ended up being a mostly one-way deal that didn't benefit PGI

Lol, ED-209 was absolutely on my vision board

[FRAGTAST1C]

I'm guessing that this won't be available on Steam. Or maybe this could be the first mech pack to make it there. Who knows?

[Hawk819]

As part of the Challenge Event for the Bull Shark. Can we have a choice of which Faction we want for both the Clan and IS versions?

Like a blast from the past when chose what faction we wanted from the Invasion and Resistance packs.

None of the hanging items, etc. Just the faction skin, and maybe, an extra non-faction skin like say Raider, Crusader, Sherman, etc.

Just a thought.

[Big-G]

Shut up and take my c-bills...

[Jep Jorgensson]

No thumper? Boo.

Cannot buy Clan variants separate from IS ones? Hard pass. I will wait until they come out for Cbills. Never bought an IS mech in my life and will certainly not be starting now.
