PGI getting some extra mileage out of the Elemental bolt on concept.

Summoner G is fairly standard but Kit Fox P looks to be a PGI original

This looks fun.

I think I’ll buy one for myself and one for my brother. He likes Summoners a lot, think it’s his favorite ‘Mech going from memory. The C-Bills included will go a long way toward getting his other favorite ‘Mech, the Atlas.

Also, a friend of mine I've recently introduced to MechWarrior Online thought the Elementals I bolted onto my Dire Wolf C from the Warden pack were adorable. He'd never seen an Elemental before. lol

I'm looking forward to seeing how they put missile launchers in the Summoner's torsos.  The G and Quinn variants on Camo Specs look pretty gnarly - not that I don't doubt a lot of work went into them, but they look like they're going to be shot off at first contact!

Seconding you there. I'm intruiged to see how the hardpoints work out

But I'm robably just going to buy this for the neon Toadlets

[Caedis Animus]

Huh. New light SRM spam build opportunity just dropped, I see.

10 missile slots on a 70 ton jump heavy with the right pods.

So I didn’t manage to save enough to buy both myself and my brother this pack, but I did enjoy the ’Mechs included. The Kit Fox is especially fun, though I got better results with the Summoner. It looks like they dropped the traditional missile pod mount in favor of mounting all the missiles into the torso itself.

After skills, the Summoner G is devastating out of box! I’m sure it can be improved upon, but I like it as it is. I haven’t made any alterations to the Kit Fox P either, and don’t plan to for some time. I think it’s the most fun I’ve had in a Kit Fox, ever.

Now, maybe that’s the novelty talking, but I’m dead serious when I say that my games today using it were the most successful light ’Mech games I’ve ever had by a significant margin. I’d like to attribute that to my time spent in the 8v8 weekend giving me more practice with picking my fights, despite me spending more time in my Bounty Hunter’s Timber Wolf than anything else during that time.

I really like how the missile pods were integrated into the torso.  It looks a lot less clunky than other renditions I've seen of that configuration!

The same kind of livery that PGI offered on the Madcat a year ago.
