If the UrbanMech gets confirmed I'm going to pilot it forever.

[Steel Raven]

You Urbie fans are starting to scare me, even the unseen crowd doesn't make this much nose.

[PewPew2]

Would be awesome but the cappies have a light mech already but I'm sure it'll be in the game at some point.

[HellHat]

I've only ever played MW4 (and MA1-2, but those didn't have urbies), but they do actually look like walking trash bins. I've never piloted one before, so I can't say, weaponry wise, whether or not they should be in.

You kidding me. Even the Timber Wolf fans don't make this kinda of ruckus. And we're an iconic Mech. The Urbie's just a representation of a cross-design between a trash can from IKEA and an oversized soda can.

That's because even though the Urbie may not be the biggest kid on the playground, he's certainly one hell of a scrappy fellow if you start something.

Personally? I just can't see a mechwarrior game without the urbie. Its become something of a mascot for the franchise to me along with the Atlas, Catapult, Madcat, and Raven. All mechs that are identifiable for me as a non-forgettable part of Mechwarrior.

There is something wrong with you........no offense.

[pursang]

Another one of these threads, huh? Come on people...

[PewPew2]

Never tried it before anyone put a gauss rifle on an urbanmech?

The Urbie is a Mascot in the same way that Jar Jar Binks is; "WHAT WERE WE THINKING?!?"

[Rot]

They looked like a box with two legs in MPBT: Solaris.

Which begs the question: Why would you pilot Jar Jar Binks?

[Ilfi]

For a second I thought this was an actual reveal...

I'd be for it, but the more likely reveal would be a third Assault to round out each class.

[NeoDac]

Even IN universe the Urbanmech is considered a failed and crappy design heck the fluff for the Urbanmech IIC says that even the clans couldn't make it a decent mech they do decent work in cities but that's IT nowhere else all he variants all the tinkering no in universe no one every found a way to make one that anyone wanted to pilot.

should it be in the game.. yeah but i think every mech should... but seriously anyone who acts like this mech is made of pure gold and doesn't acknowlege this is simply trying to cause drama and that needs to stop people who request unseens and clan mechs i get the clanners want to know what they will get when they come in people want confirmation one way or the other on the unseens... and you have a lot of people both ways who just don't know better. this is a sick little joke that's been taken too far let it die.

Why wouldn't you?

[Toothman]

Just because so many people hate it I have to say YES! This game needs an urbanmech. Maybe not right at launch though.

[Agent Zer0]

If they made it the least expensive mech by a large margin I could see it fitting in. Ive always seen it as the kia of mechs myself.

[raptorian]

I'd sooner purposefully overload my reactor than take one step in one of those tin cans, because you see that Atlas over there?

He can outrun you. Good luck.

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

You pilot it b/c you have the *******, but even more so for the lulz.

All you haters just make me love it even more.

I have been informed that anyone that votes against the Urbie being Mech 12 will not be allowed in the beta, and furthermore is a bad person. They will also be automatically "unfriended" by all their facebook friends, and will live a life of sad, lonely contemplation on what could have been.
