Reaper!

It's not quite ready for "prime time", but it's in the garage awaiting final touches (at which point you'll be able to rub your face on the upholstery like you KNOW you want to.... ; )

EDIT:  

I swore I was gonna stick to my guns and play this game as a free player to experience first hand how viable the "free" method of play is, but damn it!  I can see already that I'm not going to make it for much longer.  I reckon having new mechs each month or so is gonna break my resolve like a jackhammer on a biscuit but whatever, I'll get over it.  

Keep 'em coming, Dev's.  Very much appreciated!

I'm calling it.

The first player to get really good with this mech (and has a rig good enough to handle recording vids) needs to make a play montage set to Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper."

Hmm. I seem to remember this mech from somewhere. What is that... an A-class with a Sabot and Slug? Oddly familiar.

Almost like something from <<REDACTED>>.

They renamed it.
Hopefully BeefC4ke can bring the magic back now.

It was fun while it lasted.

huh, who knows if that's an old screenshot, but that gun on the right isn't the Slug or any other gun in the game.

It's an A-class mech, parts are from the "Spree" set, as far as I can tell.

Edit: Best guess, the left-hand weapon is the "AM-SAR".

Edit 2: No I didn't remember the name from anywhere, I looked it up from the game assets I pulled out like a week ago, if you can remember the name of that fuzzy bunny from months ago, give yourself a cookie.

Nope, bit different. Details to come.

Well said.

I'm sure a Rev-Sabot will be balanced. Guaranteed, guys, really.

I was honestly expecting the vanguard cupcake to be the first one released. Well... with a different name though.

My completionist heart will have one more mighty addition to the garage. So far my favorite is the Zerk and SS, this mech is 2-in-1 for me.

All I know is that's the name, the technical name is "AutoSniper", but I wouldn't read too much into the name, the heat cannon is called "CannonBall" after all. I'll assume the devs will post more info down the line leading up to whenever the next patch is.

well, hopefully it's nothing like the SA Hawkins whatsoever. Like I really hope it does damage. And if it's any good whatsoever the SS better prestige it :D

Definitely thought that was a REV+Sabot at first glance...

I would rather see a new map than a new mech.

We have a lot of mechs at the moment but only 4 maps and 4 variants.

I think the following could use some attention before we get a new mech...

Vote or submit for new maps here:

Vote or submit for a new Gladiator mode here:
http://community.pla...ch/#entry154884

Vote or submit for new Frends list ideas here:
