Hey guys,
Just wondering for those people who bought into the Vanguard if it's still a thing? I know it was with Meteor but yeah, just wondering.

you're obviously talking about the "cupcake" or initiate vanguard, and no its no longer available, but a standard vanguard is


  

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

it was originally a cash generator to fund the R&D and publishing of the game up to the Open Beta release in 2012. it was out of my budget range at the time, but this might get flagged to Reloaded as part of the "Phoenix" concept, and be a Good Idea to model upon.

yo, who do i throw my money at here??

New limited time Phoenix mech?

 

My MC is ready... :tongue:

 

For the OP, as other have said, it was a very limited time thing.  It hasn't been available since the start of open beta.

 

:wub:  my cupcake

They are probably limited release some things.

Either new special skins or something like that.  

I mean, they do have 1) A long list of stuff to do (... And fund) 2) Hype up the game a bit more.

I also  :wub:  my Cupcake. It was the one thing I was really afraid to lose if Hawken did go under.

Any limited edition mech that may come out in the future, I'm in  :thumbsup:

Shameless plug :tongue:

 

Recorded back in early open beta, we had at least half of our team running their cupcakes.

Should Reloaded ever decide to re-release da cupcake, this is what would happen :

I think that would seriously piss off those who origininally caught up on it though.

They did it a few times in APB...

limited re-re-release of a limited re-release of a limited release...

 

None the less, it got re-released so much that it is not that special to own that thing anymore...

Thank god that item is not any that speical.

 

But IF they really release the cake...

I really bet that people are gonna be getting their jimmies rustled so hard.

 

Eh, maybe they are going release something like it but not...

If the cupcake was made available again, there would be quite a few people on both sides (those who do have it and those that don't) who would be upset.

 

It is up to Reloaded as it wasn't them who sold it originally as exclusive, it was ADH/MTR, who as we know is gone.

 

Myself, I hope they don't.  It's become a kind of legend as it were, I don't see too many of them out in the field lately. :smile:

Given that it was marketed as exclusive, yes, it very much would piss us off.

ADH actually tried to do it, and I damn near tore their heads off for it.
