I actually like the Yen-Lo-Wang paint scheme. It's distinctive, and canon.

But I like your suggested paint scheme.

I'd be OK with ECM, as long as they release another fast ECM heavy (that you can buy with C-bills) within a month, at most.

flame = unremovable 5 tons of flamers. best hero mech ever

[Armorpiercer M82]

looks fake to me...

K2 in the left, seems only crop from main theme here (also green camo)
and catapults are 65 tons, not 60....


or it will be twins DRAGON ?

I got one that's better than all of those; the AS7-PEW. Here, let me dig it out of the "JETTISONED COMMUNICATION" section for you.

This would be my bet on the Flame dragon.
"DRG-2Y Dragon Yorioshi - The personal ‘Mech of Benjamin Military District commander Warlord Syovo Yorioshi during the DCMS's Third Succession War invasion of Galtor III, all the standard weaponry of a Dragon save the left-arm mounted Medium Laser has been removed. Instead a Large Laser is mounted in the right arm, a Small Laser in the head and a SRM-4 and Flamer mounted where the LRM rack would normally be. With a single ton of SRM reloads, the weight saved allows five extra heat sinks to be carried and three more tons of armor to be added."

Fire breathing dragon sweet might actualy leave the flamer in this one.

And this is why stock mechs suck in this game. Large Laser, Small Laser, SRM4, and a Flamer. Good Job mech designers.

Wasn't a fake screenshot. I saw the entries yesterday, but they were only up for about an hour before being removed from the site. I suspect that the tonnage is simply a placeholder; not sure we're getting two dragons.

Never said I liked the load out just the only Dragon I could find that had a flamer in the CT. Since it should have a dragon head face paint for the flame to shoot from.

[Ronin13m]

Also added the question about these mechs and the possiblilty that we will ever see the DRG-1G to the ask the Devs 29 post.

[Tastian]

I too can verify that this is real. It was only up for like 30 minutes or so before they took it down. I would personally LOVE to have a hero Dragon since I am a Dragon pilot. I haven't purchased the other two hero mechs but I would definitely buy a hero dragon.

[Ransack]

Wow, these devs are goin all out Retro.

After almost 20 years we get the Return of



Double Dragon!

Now I'm anxious to find out what the loadouts are.

[Penance]

cool, more hero mechs...now they just need to make MC more of an actual bargain

[Joe Mallad]

The Dragons (Flame, Fang and even Claw) are all Storm Phoenix Mech.

Me too brother... I presonally think that the Dragon is the most flexible mech in the game; and needs much more love!

Wait. What's wrong with faded drab olive and "shoot here to cripple me" red/white?

[Dexion]

Ecm dragon would make me wet my self. What? Too much?

[General Taskeen]

The DRG-2Y is a lot like a Grand Dragon, since it has energy hardpoint in the right arm, instead of a ballistic. Think of it as an early prototype or inspiration for later designs.

Warlord Syovo Yorioshi (DRG-2Y) and Warlord Grieg Samsonov (AS7-WGS Samsonov), both of the Draconis Combine, fought during the battle of Galtor III. They both lived, but their side lost. Yorioshi wasn't exactly described as being 'heroic' in battle, but he was able to keep the remnants of the Benjamin Regulars alive during retreat off planet.

The Grand Dragon is a more refined, updated, sleeker chassis that probably would require an entirely new 3D model. It also doesn't have enough variants (3 or more) to put into the game at this time.

My guess for what Fang and Flame are:

Flame - Yorioshi's DRG-2Y (with the flamer), they could go wild with this paint scheme, Benjamin Regular Insignia, Draconis Combine paint scheme, and a dragon mouth on the CT where the flamer is.

Fang - ? Best guess is Minobu Testsuhara, of the Wolf's Dragoons (hence "Fang?"). He piloted a regular DRG-1N though, so I don't see what would be special about it, other than a paintscheme.

I'm probably wrong though and my dreams of new canon-hero mech's will be crushed with non-canon designs.

I predict a double shot of "OMG teh [paint scheme/name/backstory] on [new hero mech] is teh offensive to [obscure group of whiners]!!!1!!!!!" threads myself. Based on the hero mechs so far, anyone wanna bet against me?
