Speakers! I hope, these will work ;D

[Maebus]

If i remember my books correctly Rhonda Snord's Highlander was yellow with a TCB painted on it. (TCB = Takin' Care of Business). Can't remember the loudspeakers but it would make sense. They've got plenty of options including Davis McCall of the Grey Death Legion. Still while Rhonda Snord or Davis McCall's mechs would be nice, i'm holding out for a Heroic Highlander with a Tartan skin.

I would prefer McCall's Highlander.
But working speakers to stream any music wo the game... hmm.... starting a round with the title of Captain Future, Hermann van Ven with "Warum bin ich so fröhlich" or just with The number of the beast by Iron Maiden

Gauss/triple ppc on the arms, 2x SRM6 for brawling. Giant XL engine. mass heatsinks, LOL

Left Arm has a hand, which means that 4 of the 12 criticals are taken (Shoulder, Upper Arm, Lower Arm, and Hand actuators), leaving only 8 criticals available - not enough for "Gauss/triple ppc on the arms".

The Immigrant song!



And I would only start playing it when I was about to get into stomping range. I would also sing it at the top of my lungs in RL.

So you're saying they're strawberry flavored pop-tarts. o_O

[Kmieciu]

Gauss+ 3xPPC + XL325 + 3JJ.
I'll buy that for a dollar!

[Stradivarious]

Considering according to the sourcebook "Rhonda's Irregular's" her highlander was a stock HGN-732 with "Heavy Metal" painted on the gauss rifle and loudspeakers mounted, I am interested in seeing exactly what they have done to make this a "Hero" mech...

And before you guys go all nuts on the heavy metal aspect, her primary favorite music was Elvis. She only used heavy metal for it's disruptive value on the battlefield vs DCMS and Clanners(of which she herself is one, albeit raised in the IS since 6 years old).

I wonder if they will release the actual chassis as a surprise on the 2nd along with the Hero Mech.

[Sedant]

They better! Or a large population of disappointed gamers might find themselves playing Defiance! Just saying.

[Torquemada]

I wonder if its an April fools?

I hope so too seeing as I've been telling all my mech buddies that Im assuming the chassis is being released. The semi news flash of the hero mech and the highlander being listed on the mech page as preparing for drop I just assumed it would be released in full as of this coming patch. I wouldnt be surprised if they released the highlander as a hero first to generate some immediate sales before doing a full release with variants. I do however personally would find it in bad taste even if its smart business..... I dont have plans for a pink mech any time soon but I have heard rumors of a hero jagermech...anyone want to back that up?



sorry for the wall of text


....Oh and not to mention Im already socking away the creds for the highlander...it would be exciting to purchase on the 2nd if so.
