Interesting, those make me wonder if we are going to see five mech variants for each Mech. Hmm... Raven, Commando, and Atlas are three I remember without checking that are under five total. Hmm... interesting indeed.

The skins alone are pretty sexy.

Flame looks to have the ballistic in it sholder unlike all the other Dragons have it on the arm

Flame functions nicely as a Grand Dragon. I am now a happy gamer. ;)

On first glance, I have a big question about why we don't have any assault or light hero mechs.

Could be another "Hero 'Mech". ;)


Called it back in October! One of these is gonna be PGI's answer for the Grand Dragon requests! (Flame I'm guessing)

Just add them yourself. It can hold 4.

Fang's a -1N with a bonus arm slot (and one less missile CT slot) + cool skin + bonus C-Bills
I like this mech

Flame's a -1C with the RA hardpoints swapped with the LT? Only AC/20 dragon.. only dragon that doesn't get its ballistics targetted like it's a fat Centurion....

I'll repeat my call for a non-MC version of the Flame that costs a bjillion C-bills and doesn't have the skin/bonus since the variant is better than the normal-ones.
(not that it'll get anywhere - they're advertising them as unique variants after all... )

Aw. Disappointed that Fang can't hold an AC/20.

:P

I might actually grab a Flame at some point. I bought MC a couple weeks ago and bought a -1C with it. Now I'm wishing I would have waited and, for a little more MC, gotten a DRG with the same total hardpoints (but in a better layout) and a CB bonus.

This pretty much makes flame superior to all other dragons. It might make me attempt a gaussdragon.

Did you verify that? Does it have a lower arm actuator in the RA? Need to know before i buy one...

Made the Grand Dragon build. It's pretty wicked, but overheats quickly. Needs DHS badly.

Also, default armor values - don't use them on the Flame. They're terrible and the arms as well as the torsos need serious increase. May see if FF works in this, but then you'll lose XL capability, just FYI.
