I'll be honest.

When I saw it, I thought," Megaman."

^ This, The Death's Knell is Bono Duganmare's Commando. However, Catalyst never mentioned what the loadout was and didn't list a record sheet either, so PGI is making it up. Its basically a 'half-canon' Mech they are adding. The paint job looks silverish like Catalyst describes. I don't see any 22nd Skye Ranger markings on it though, but Duganmare is described as the commander of the training portion of it ( a company within the regiment, 3-5 platoons ), not the Commander of the Regiment itself.

This is the logo of the 22nd Skye Rangers

Well, now I can't get that comparison out of my head.

I like it, sadly I'm not piloting a Commando, so I'll skip yet another Hero Mech. But hopefully they'll come out with my Hero Atlas next. If not maybe a Cicada with missile Hardpoints would be nice! :)

What he said.
I'll add, if it has jumpjets and/or ECM I'll get it.
At least if it's got no missile hardpoints I don't have to feel bad about driving an ECM light mech.

It's actually pretty close to a build I already have that I used to optimize to be the perfect scout.
Of course that was before ECM, so scouting isn't such a valid role anymore.
But I still use it because by now I dislike my ECM-streak build (at least in PUG games) because it feels like bug-using, so I intend to replace that build with this hero mech.

I like it.

If it's better than the 2D I'll be buying myself a blue commando, how did you know I like sleek things and the color blue PGI?
