I really hope these rumors are true. I'll finally have a mech I want to pilot among those already announced! :P

Considering how lightly armed/armored the original was, they need to.

They always seem to pick the ugliest and most outdated mechs in the hopes of spurring fanboy-boners...

Gimme a Mad Cat, maybe a Zeus, and I'll be happy. Just something that doesnt look retarded and realistically-impossible please.
Hoping noone uses the "well all walking robot tanks are unrealistic" response...because its only partly true. well, only mostly true.

Wait for your Mad Cat dude it will come next year..........as for looking ugly and being outdated......all IS mechs are outdated and Flying Debris doesn't make ugly Mechs, and he changes the mechanical designs to be realistic. So cool it on the harsh sentiment please.

EDIT:
Also to clear up another issue that seems to pop up fairly regularly on the ISN Flashes. These are not inklings of what is coming down the pipeline as far as Game Content is concerned. The ISN Flashes are simply another layer of fluff for the community, since every day in RL is one day in game. All of these things have already been written about over the 25 year span of Battletech Lore or are deeply understood by Mr. Randall Bills the Battletech Lore Master himself.

The Mad Cat (Timberwolf) is a clan mech. We haven't even been invaded by the clans yet.

People seem to think that being mentioned in an Inner Sphere News flash means the mech will be in game. So far this is not the case.

If the clans get added, which almost certainly they will, since most Mechwarrior fans, that have not played the pre-3050 board game are most certainly fans of the clans, the Timberwolf aka Mad Cat is almost guaranteed.

Look at it this way as soon as you come to the sight you are now roleplaying. We are roleplaying ourselves in as if it is 1000 years from now. I know how to rp and seeing people complaining cause they dont know this is a mmorpg annoys me. Every other saturday I play a character that is a combination of quick draw zero and kurohime, in the weird west.
