This may be my new favorite Non-Canon Clan.  Way to go.

That looks like a cannon Clan to me... ;D

I bid the following Clans for OTP: Revival Placement Trials!

1. Clan Iron Butterfly- Found in the jungles of Eden, the Iron Butterfly has the colorful markings of its Terran counterparts, but sturdier wing and body segments.
 

2. Clan Platypus- Initially released on the Pentagon worlds as a joke, the hardy monotremes survived and prospered, adapting to quickly to life where water was present. Nicolas respected this adaptability, marking the ability to change with the situation as a key trait a successful warrior needed to possess. Nicolas also found the platypi's habit of constantly searching for food in even the most unfavorable conditions as a testement to the need to always gather information. The platypus was passed over in favor of the sea fox, when that predator was able to quickly check the platypi's progress into the freshwater seas of Strana Mechty.
 
3. Clan Blitz Sloth- In all respects this mammal is a carbon copy of its Terran brethren, with a few notable exceptions. The blitz sloth is capable of living in a variety of trees, having even  been found on the sturdier branches of conifers. Also, as the name implies, the blitz sloth is taken to bursts of extreme quickness. The omnivorous blitz sloth hangs casually from branches munching leaves, only to reach out with lightning speed to snag small birds, reptiles and amphibians, even smaller mammals that cross its path. Nicolas saw the patience of this hunter as a good trait for a warrior.
 
4. Clan Newt- Nicolas, doing a study of the names at the top of the list noticed something. He had two avian species, two arachnid, four reptiles, one hellion (whatever that was) and the rest mammals, NO amphibians. Nicolas briefly considered Clan Newt, before deciding equality among the animal kingdom was not a necessity.
 
5. Clan Trouser Snake- No record exists of any such creature and the scrawled name of Clan Trouser Snake was preceded by two attempts in which it was spelled incorrectly. It is thought that this option was intended as a joke.


Seriously, this would be a great book to try a megamek campaign with.

Klat, jklantern, Jal Phoenix and Fletch- I am throwing down the gauntlet. I say we start a thread in the non-canon units section with a poll and write-ups on our clans and see which one is the craziest.

And remember not to move as there is a warship parked nearby that shoots anything that does.  I hear Tanis is lovely this time of year, the way the evening sun reflects off it's charred and scorched ruin is breath taking.

Can we get a rough idea as to when XTRO Primitives IV will be out? Last you stated back in August was the following...

end of next week is a possibility but not a guarantee.  :)

I'd have to think somewhere in 2 months the "possibility" would have come up! LOL

I currently have XTRO Primitives IV, and will not allow it to be released until my demands are met.

Our Lawyers would like to point out that JKLantern is in no way affiliated with Catalyst Games Lab, nor does he have any say in any of their products, aside from the purchase thereof.

Aw, dammit.
I'm not sure how long you've been around on the forums, though you have a thousand posts. Never take anything JKlantern says seriously unless it's about food.

Just as long as Arya kills the last of the Lannisters before she dies (if she dies), I'm good. Of course that means Tyrion is dead at some point, which is not so good.

Explains a lot about his creative process.  :))

I'll refrain from experimenting with triplicate motif (a la Beetlejuice), because I'm not sure if my conscience can withstand all of that innocent blood being spilled.

Indiscriminate kill lists mean she is going to kill someone who may deserve it, but really, really, really shouldn't die if you want a not freezing ending.
