    You can make out some of the fine detail that the Locust was done with; it has the antenna, the DSS Dish (with Sunday Ticket so you never miss a Redskins or Steelers game) and a HWY 407 Transponder (if you get this inside joke you rock!).

    Hopefully more coming soon!

    oh, and that Locust is reminding me of this tank.

    Hngg. I remember rushing to finish the Tier X for the French Mediums to get my Tier X T-shirt a year ago. Good days of using revolver tanks to kill things 2 to 3 tiers higher with that burst DPS.

    The Locust is going to be more of a jousting mech, which does really remind me of the ELC AMX if you play it as a mobile light killer instead of a sniper. Hell, I play my VK 2801 as a jouster as well.

    What I get from this post, Mason: You live so close yet you don't support the Lions. ONE PRIDE! Canadians these days, I tell ya. Redskins?? Ppht. ;)

    Anyway, I am VERY happy to see that they made it an appropriate size. With the less than paper armor, this mech needs the wide stance and short hit-box. I'm very glad to see another sneaky little bugger! I'm getting more and more excited for this mech. Can't wait to be an Overlord! :D

    When I was a teenager we went to visit my aunt in Kingston and I remember my dad making a big deal out of the 407. I didn't get it at the time, but, he was all excited because it "saves so much time" from the other major highway through Toronto. (He used to do a lot of business in Toronto when he was in the Marine industry) That's all I remember...

    If I casually glanced at this pic I'd think it's just a 3pv screenshot of the back of a Raven.

    As a Detroit native and a Lions season ticket holder I can honestly say this:

    I understand why people would rather watch other teams, though with Bush on the team this years Lions are actually kind of exciting.

    Thread jack over..

    BITE YOUR TONGUE! If I were a fairweather fan, I couldn't live in Michigan. :D

    (Stay on target, stay on target) Every time I look at this picture, I get more excited.

    Soy has a point, it is slightly reminiscent of a Raven. I can totally see that. However, it's wide like J-Lo and has a very vertically compact CT. I'm very interested to see the side profile.

    You should walk your Raven closer for a fair size compare. (look at the zebra crossing)
    Actually it would be more fun to see the difference between this and the jenner.

    All I can say is... THIS IS CUTE!!!

    I can't wait to paint it pink and run around like an annoying little pwny!
    I wish they have "pink ribbons" as a type of missiles.

    Sorry man. I've lived in Michingan all my life, and have been a Packers Fan since Don "The Magic Man" Majkowski. I'll route for the Lions 14 games out of the year, but I still go to the Lions Packers game in my Greens.
