What's this now? 5 lights? They still haven't officially announced the assault so they are stuck at three. That is ******* annoying.

[Komori]

Well, I guess Spiders will need something to eat. This is the only explanation.

[Nacon]

I don't understand the logic behind their PR.

Release Flea just to cover up the leak about Highlander?
it's just a extra mess now.


Well... either way, nice to see more mechs going.

[AntharPrime]

Just another bug to stomp... now if we could get 2 more mechs for all the other weight classes, we could balance things out.

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

[EmperorMyrf]

I'll certainly be getting one of these when it gets patched in, looks sick.

[Rustic Dude]

Wimpiest Urbanmech I've ever seen.

[RG Notch]

Would a company of Fleas be a Flea Circus?

[Middcore]

Sitting here chuckling to myself at the people whining for Clan 'mechs like the Shadow Cat and Blackhawk.

Anyway, the new art is as great as we've become accustomed to. Will be interesting to see if this thing can be made combat viable.

I'd like to see you fit a gauss in that...

I thought the highlander photo did not match the current artwork, I think that highlander in the PC mag was for the other mech game, Mechwarrior Tactics.

Considering the PC Gamer edition were discussing is devoted to Mecwarrior Online I'm going to say your wrong. Secondly, what are you smoking? The artwork looks incredibly similar to MWO?

[Redshift2k5]

Huh. what happened to 'special occasion'?

[Bishop Steiner]

Cool.

I was expecting an assault mech TBH, not the relatively uncommon and unloved poor little FLEA.

My only knock on the art is the lower torso looks an AWFUL lot like a MW$ RAVEN with stubby little feet. I love Alex's work in general, but he seems enamored of vestigial hands and club feet on otherwise cool designs.

Perhaps they are waiting to release the original Bmech 16 for such an occasion. You need to remember that there are over 500 distinct Battlemechs that make appearances in the Battletech universe.... the game can't just stop all things for the sake of one mech or occasion.

Nope pretty sure the Jenner is more annoying. Had better armor over all on top of that speed. The Spider and the Flea are hellaciously fast, but cannot take a hit well.

[wanderer]

I am stunned but pleased by this announcement.

This would make a -perfect- starter 'Mech, wouldn't one think?

Does it count as a leak if it was in a magazine with millions of subscribers?
