Urban Mechs just have that "underdog" look to them... like you really want them to win!

[destiny valkyrie]

i dont understand the obsession with the urban mech. its wepons arent that great and on top of that, it looks like a friggen R2-D2 (dont get me wrong i love star wars)

[William Petersen]

You.. just.. you just... you... your own question... /aneurysm

[Gigaton]

No, he's a Dalek with legs, anyways we all love the urbie because it's sort of a mascot for all we love in the world.

The R2D2 rationalization I think is irrelevant. Yeah, I mean you can draw some resemblance to R2D2, but Like fallguy said and [many, many] others, its just the underdog of the 'mech world. Packs an enormous punch for its size, while it also having laughably slow speed.

Think of it as the " Little 'Mech That Could"... -err "Trashcan, that could".

Just accept that its awesome.

One of few ligh mechs load auto cannon 10.

Remember IS mechs not change weapons.

1 - Some of us don't like to cheese out and throw the PEHPEHCEH or spam medium lasers on everything.
2 - It's very cheap, effective, pocket firepower.
3 - Comedic value.

[KaiserSoze]

Walk slow and carry a big gun

[mockingfox]

I ask myself this question everyday. never have i found an answer

[Johannes Falkner]

The first rule of UrbanMechs is to walk proud (slowly).

Panthers needed to be able to outrun another light. The Urbanmech was born.

[Tryg]

Urbanmechs are like internet Memes, no one can explain why so many like them, they just do.

[Tyzh]

To not understand the Urbanmech, is to fail to understand the motivations of humanity at it's core.

If you want to pilot a walking trashcan, do it in 100 ton style.

Mackie, all the way.
