Wow, talk about a surprise. And it's on a WEDNESDAY! What happened to Wednesday not being a special day any more guys? GAH! Mixed messages.

LOVE the look of it, really improved it while keeping the classic feel. Also damn nice to see some FRR representation! The only way it would have been better is if it was an Archer.

Wow, nice art!! FD managed to make it a beauty! I will love to see Cicadas running in the battlefield.

[Talon Thorn]

I like it... but I was really hoping for a heavy this time around.

Yeah, my bad... Sorry

Now if only physical attacks were in the game. This mech is good for charging on the tabletop game.

[Tronchaser]

Ohhhh, nice mech. I look forward to some tinkering in the mechlab with some Cicada variants.

And cicadas remind me of summer also, which is perfect for a summer release of MWO!

Although I despise this 'Mech, I have to admit the beauty of the artwork. Nicely done!

[Randal Waide]

[Felicitatem Parco]

Cicada 3C is my preferred scouting Medium Mech.

Did NOT see this coming! Excellent work as always FD! Its like Christmas every month!!

Waitaminute....

A 40 ton scout mech?

Now I REALLY can't choose which one to pilot! This is driving me nuts... but in a GOOD way!

[AdamBaines]

This was an awesome surprise. It is an ugly mech, but it fits with its name sake :-) Its not supposed to be pretty, but deadly, which it is for a light.

[Adridos]

I love mediums. I don't like Hunchie, nor Centurion. Maybe my new medium ride?

It wasn't clear I was joking so I will make it more clear: I was making fun of people pronouncing things wrong in an amusing way, IE. "fah-jai-tahs" instead of "fa-hee-tahs" or "hyper-bowl" instead of "hy-per-bow-lee".

[neodym]

looks great,speed is great thing but not when you get out graped by 5 ton ligher jenner that also have jump jets

[Tannhauser Gate]

Love it. Yet another icon of MWO's new design approach for mechs while also staying true to its namesake. It reminds me
alot of some of FD's pre-MWO artwork. I bet he had fun making this one.

In Texas we pronounce it as seh-KAY-dah or sometimes seh-KAH-dah and we have millions of them in the late summer, some as big as your thumb.

The way I did it in the TT game is I removed the lower arm actuator ( which is the wrist joint, before the hand actuator ) thus giving me ten critical spaces in the right arm.

The CN9-D Centurion has 23.5 tons for weapons, with 8.5 tons of armor.
weapons :

RA : 1 x AC/20 @ 14tons & 10 CS
LT : 2 x LRM 5 @ 2 x 2 tons & 2 CS
CT : 2 x Medium Lasers @ 2 x 2 tons & 2 CS
RT : 2 tons AC-ammo & case @ 2.5 tons 3 CS
RT ; 1 anti-missile system @ 0.5 tons & 1 CS
RT : 1 ton AM-ammo & case @ 1.5 x ton & 2 CS
LT : 1 ton LRM-ammo & case @ 1.5 tons & 2CS
Total : 24 tons
Armor : is now reduced to 8 tons even ( losing 8 points of protection )
Heat sinks 10 DBL ( 300 XL divided by 25 = 12 so all all of them are integral ) [/color]

Does anyone else wonder what the three-barrelled ballistic looking weapon is? I see "Laser-Eyes" on all three torsos, so that says 2 med 1 small - as in primary loadout - but what is that other weapon?
