Well, I am happy that the old mechs get to be reseen. It is better that way, since battletech has grown beyond the early days of mech design "borrowing" anyways and has become a classig on its own for decades. I know I would miss the day of screaming JPop when playing these mechs (My Boyfriend is a Pilot!), but hey at least they don't have to hide in the shadows anymore. New version. Same song as the one 30 years ago.
Mauler: YAY! Black Knight: sorta yay. Crab and Wolfhound: m3h I'll probably wind up getting the big pack (thanks, regular hours at work!) but what I'm really excited about is the Mauler. I'll find ways to differentiate the others so they don't get too boring and repetitive compared to other IS chasis. More than 1 variant in the pack with JJ or some ECM to speak of wouldn't have hurt, and is the big thing that makes LAZORZ be the thing that stands out to me other than MAULER! WRECK FACE!
You know, all I could think of during this video was A) how painful the singing was and B) I need to go to Japan so the girls there can chase this white guy. Apparently there is a movement over there; hunters of white men. What? Don't judge me.
Sigh ... Marauder Phoenix Warhammer like Michael if they release them i instant buy them ... but with the macross license ( don't know if it is the right word in english) i m not sure they ll release one day. For resistance 2: like i say i m disappointed, i don't dislike the light and the assault but the med and the heavy ... no comment only the look of the heavy seems great ...
Acually with traditional anime design, unless the mech is quite identical most companies would be fine with it. That is the reason why you see lots of anime with macross/gundam/etc clone mech. It is Harmony Gold that is being a fucking asshole about it. You have dozens of macross/gundam lookalikes in japan, and they don't get sued, as long as you make it obvious it is not a real gundam. Same goes for other franchise. Just so you know who you should place your curses on. As for the Palladium games, they had a licence to produce Macross/Robotech related stuff from long long time ago, they had old trpg books on them. (They do TMNT and Cthulhu too, at one point! Was a palladium/Rifts/darkbane fan)
Got home, bought me the pack, found out I missed out on a free mech,... ... well its not as if I take my JM6-A out much these days anyways
May 19th patch... BattleMaster BLR-2C and Cataphract CTF-0X(ECM Confirmed by Russ on Twitter) variants - Gift Store first. http://www.reddit.com/r/OutreachHPG/comments/34uzr6/may_roadmap_is_up/
So I made another thing... I actually like the resistance mechs now that they have this paintjob and geometry...
I Got Really Bored. Only some of you who have watched the original Battletech show will understand the Mauler joke.
Not enough Spirals and Drills. For everyone else, he is talking about this little robot here: Roughly remember some day watching old school battletech cartoons where a wolfhound and a mauler floating in space shooting off jets. Then again I might also be high at the time.
