The weapons layout looks more like the -3M than the original- or is it just me?

[Alex Iglesias]

it is the 3m

triple barreled weapon is the uac-5

[Thorn Hallis]

Ok, this is first for me: This design looks damn sweet!

Whoop! This looks sick! I've been waiting for this one for a while, I always thought it would look cool with an upgrade
Also, this looks like the 3050 upgrade variant with a UAC5 and a small pulse laser!

... wait... the 3M wasn't introduced until 3050! Does that mean we'll have some variants that from the "future" ie we're in 3049 at launch.

Woot! A response from the Master himself. Just struck me odd considering the story fluff is about the original, but since the -3M starts production in 3049...perfect.

(Oh, how I wish the -3G was around earlier. That thing is scout Mech gold.)

It's first shown in TRO 3050, but the official production date is 3049- juuuuuust squeezing into the MWO timeframe. http://www.masterunitlist.info/ is gawd-tier for looking stuff like this up.

[Sheilei]

Seems this will be my ride until i can afford a Raven...or it might just become my main choice.
Gotta do some more studying of the design first.

[Mason Grimm]

I'm actually looking forward to seeing this mech in action! Think Jenner but big brother with room for 5 extra tons of goodness.

Thanks, with the way variants are numbered I always thought sarna was missing some

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".

But the Hyperbowl is my favorite kind of bowl!

Si-kay-duh

[BanditFly]

I'm not sure about other people's pronunciation but I have always know it to be Si-Kay-Duh. "Si" as in Sith.

[Volthorne]

My Catapult brethren shall be avenged! I will stomp these tiny bug-mechs into the ground.

[BarHaid]

Hate the mech, LOVE the redesign. That UAC5 is going to be sweet!

[Conradiqlous]

Oh yes. This is what I'll be rocking.

[osito]

While i like the speed and possible variants of this mech, I hate the armor on this mech. It only carries 64 points of armor. That's like 4 tons. For a 20-30 toner that may be okay,not for a forty toner. I would downgrade the engine a little and add more armor.

[Nakir]

Cicada!!??What news!I think many other mechs but it never!!
