I want a Black Knight the Best heavy mech.

Its cool. Im sure it will be as, or more, annoying to Assault pilots than the Commandos and Jenners already are. Especially the assault pilots that cannot hit even the buildings in front of them as it is.

At least its not the same tonnage as an existing mech, offering more range across the 20-100 ton spectrum.

The Flea FLE-4 is just about one of the worst mechs in the entire game of BT, 2 tons of armor and a mediocre 96kph for a light mech, Only the advanced tech versions are worth anything.

First 'mech we have that has a flamer standard.

Urban Mech I would just be tickled pink. I want my trashcan back LOL

[Tyzh]

This is the single worst mech announcement ever.

Welcome to the AT-ST of the Battle Tech universe.

[AdamBaines]

Very cool re-design. Disappointed in the choice of this mech at this time though.

[AlanEsh]

A 20 ton, no-impact mech. Yuck.

[Brakkyn]

I think this is pathetic...that some people are irked because this new 'Mech wasn't a heavier one. So it ain't what you expected or wanted--big fat hairy deal. It ain't up to you and it never was, and thankfully never will be.

On topic: this Flea seems to have drawn inspiration from the MechWarrior 4 version as opposed to the original--and frankly, I'm glad. And I thought matches with the Cicada would be chaotic.

[Sarlic]

Hahaha. Great. Didnt saw that coming.

FLEA + Small Pulse Lasers + Machine guns = The most fun and annoying mech EVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRRR!!

Also, every one who are saying the Flea is useless, I beg to differ, I have killed, Stone Rhinos, Long Bows, Storm Crows, Timber Wolves, Shadow Cats, Owens, Jenners, Summoners, and so on and so forth, and to top it all off, it did that all in MW4M which is really unfriendly to light and Medium mechs.

Well, color me surprised. Was expecting something completely different. In fact I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up with my forehead sewn to the carpet. I won't be touching this with a barge pole.

[Kauhava]

Looks like a nice low tonnage scout.

[Maxwell Albritten]

It makes sense for PGI to front load with a bunch of light mechs prior to open beta as lights are going to be the mechs most people get to experience first. It will just turn people off from the game if they see a whole bunch of mechs that they can't afford for a long time while only being able to chose from a few themselves.

Plus, it warms my cold, bitter heart to see all the QQ from clanner wannabes and tear-lords crying in this thread.

[Ooorky]

Disappointed?
Why?
Before the clan invasion most of the mechwarriors piloted light mechs, only the elit units/commanders had bigger ones.
Even the wealthier mercenaries like a Kell Hounds, fielded mostly 30-40 ton mechs, like Wolfhound in their case.
+With the new economy, we need cheap mechs, even cheaper ones than the Commando...

[BitGlitch]

Yay! This means 4 more mechs!

It also says the smalls are mounted to the rear for point defense... I don't think we'll be seeing that part.

We haven't for any other 'Mech. They'll switch to the front.

The uptech versions don't show up for another 3 years, which means you've got a bit of a wait.
