32.4km/h Extremely slow
But
an AC/10 on a 20 ton mech.....

It's practically a walking turret, and the Trollest of Troll builds.

Nope, that would have to be the gauss build someone would surely make out. :(

Here's how bad it is - mounting a machine gun on it is an actual improvement.

Even though it looks quite ehm different, the main reason why people are keen to love or hate it may also come from the one and only ULTIMATE question... what was going through the head of the "designer" when this Mech came to life ... you see where I'm going? Posted Image

So is there something extremely well thought behind the idea OR was it like ... hmm what will I draw now, the eyes are rounding around the room and then when he looks below the desk ... hmm oh well fu.. this! Posted Image


More like hmm... Here you go boss -OH GOD I AM GOING TO GET FIRED FOR THIS DESIGN-.

Boss: GENIUS!

It's like the cop in the Buddy Cop movie who uses a revolver. There's virtually no reason to use a revolver anymore, but it's cool. It makes any victories all the sweeter.


Two words. .500 Magnum.

The Urban on the other hand is a trash can with legs. It shouldn't be in this game, because really if you want to beat up a trash can you can just buy a Louisville Slugger and go beat up a metal trash can, and the only time you'll be wasting is your own. ;)

what has been seen, can not be unseen..


Unless its a warhammer

The Urbanmech was actually an unseen mech, but the original artist was too embarrassed to lay copyright claims on it.

Would love to see it in the game. Its purposeful and quite honestly better looking than half the gundam looking abominations in battletech.

It reminds me of something that belongs on the Island of Misfit Toys. I bet the pilots of the Urbie are like the Waterboy. Not very smart and with really bad tempers! "No Colonel Sanders, you're wrong, ma'am is right!" I couldn't post images for some reason. Oh well... you get the gist of it.

I say that it looks so terrible and is so terrible that fans love it just on how terrible it is.

Look at Dunsparce from Pokemon. Its a pretty terrible Pokemon and people still like it.
