I'm putting my money on the Victor.

[Colonel Cody]

Wolfhound, Panther, and the Firestarter. The mediums i'd like to see, Vindicator, Shadowhawk, and the Hatchetman, Ax Man, the Hatamoto and the Daboku(Mauler), I'd like to see the Highlander and the Wyvern and the Crab, the Flashman and the Guillotine, Thug,Warahmmer, Battlemaster, Marauder and the list goes on. But the standouts are Wolfhound, Vindicator, Flashman and Highlander. I'm still unsure how they wil laproach the idea of Axes and swords in the game.

My money is still on the Cyclops.

It's my educated guess that we'll see it on Tuesday, August 7th. As a "WOW! They really did it! They gave this magnificent beast." kinda thing.

If I'm not completely off the mark they will have quite a few nice surprises for us on the 7th.

My guess the next concept art will be for a Mad Cat/Timberwolf ....no seriously (well kinda). Ok, its time to put on your tinfoil hats.

Lets figure it takes PGI somewhere around 2 weeks to create the concept art for a mech (based on a dev comment and the concept art releases). Lets also assume that they are going to release about a dozen clan mechs at the launch of the clan invasion (they have 16 or so potential mechs, their actual release could be far less though). If they do plan on releasing a dozen or so clan mechs they will have to start designing them soon in order to have them ready by the middle of next year for the clan invasion. The Mad Cat is probably the most popular and iconic of the clan mechs so it would make sense to start with it.

So it's possible that FD is redesigning the Mad Cat right now and we won't get to see any any of the clan mechs until much closer to the clan invasion so no more biweekly concept art announcements (which is why we didn't get one last week). Hey, its at least possible; although I kinda hope that they do release more IS mechs.

Of course if that crazy theory doesn't hold up, my second guess is that it will be a Victor and that the delay was something far more mundane (perhaps FD took a vacation).

I kinda expecting a Jumpy assault. So either Victor or Highlander (granted their weapon loadout is quite similar to the Atlas).

Ya a jumpy assault makes sense to me as a niche they can fill. The Victor makes more sense because the Highlander was so rare during this time in cannon, but that definitely doesn't rule anything out.

They'll throw you all for a loop and release the Elemental.

You know... unlikely as it is... I would just love to have a Battlemaster.

[Sephlock]

Ahhh the old mechs.

You know, I was just recently thinking "Man, they can't POSSIBLY still have a death grip on the rights, can they? I mean, after all these years, would they still even care?"

And then I went to their website: http://www.harmonygold.com/


"Oh..."

What's the rush? If they are busy working on other things you shouldn't have any complaints. They have a huge patch for Founders due on the 7th anyway.

What is that on the cover the Maximum tech book?

its a zeus...also a really nice mech.

but i put my money on victor, banshee or highlander (hope for mauler), cause they need something to challenge the atlas.

highlander is a so popular mech..dont think they will not put him in the game

Hatchetman will never see the light of day here because meleeing as a primary strategy(assuming it put in the game at all) would be very stupid and illogical.

But I am down the Zeus. We Lyrans need our Scout Mech.

Zeus X? Won't happen soon.

But I would be happy if we get the humble -6S or -6T.
