Instead of getting the Wolfhound or Panther, we get the..flea.


The Panther's lack of speed would make it worthless cannon fodder. The Wolfhound is an iconic 'mech and would be nice to have eventually, but it would be just another laser boat and we already have two 35-ton 'mechs anyway.

Tell me that you'll release a soccer ball skin for this little guy, because that'll be hilarious.

Not a big fan of flea but glad its a lighter mech. We don't need matches of 8 atlases vs 8 highlanders and things of that nature

That reminds of something that we do in the pods, we call it "the bug hunt". Fun times.

Didn't expect that. Thought the waiting would be for a more iconic mech. But, this flea's artwork does look good.

I guess a Flea is close to being a Locust. And this Flea looks a lot more like a Locust than the original art for the Flea..

I'm not going to complain. Lovely looking mech.

You may laugh, but the Flea is 10X more annoying than a Jenner.


No actually, the Jenner is faster, and has a lot more tons to play with, not to mention you can put more armor on it, and jets. I don't think there are any Fleas that have jets, though I could be wrong.

The Flea might be harder to hit because it's going to be tiny, but it's also going to be less armored than even a Commando.

I think it will be useful, but I don't think the Jenner will be out out classed. Probably be used in the same manner over all however.

Underlined mechs aren't in the game yet, stop crying.Just because the Highlander wasn't officially introduced doesn't mean anthing, they didn't make that art for no reason.
