Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

The final form, here at last!
Now, no joke, but its honestly a good use of the quadvee package.  You can stick terrible pilots in vee mode so you cant fall, perfect for less then ideally trained warriors, you retain the 360 arc of the urbanmech, and you can include scores of the little buggers in your bids.  Way more survivable for the pilots then a conventional tank, and it keeps up with infantry in your garrison forces.

Ah. You were looking at Bpencil's fanfic, weren't you? Where the Urbies have....multipled.

I'd have gone with the wheeled version, simply so you can get the mental image of a Urbie pulling a looney tunes' 'wheels spinnin so fast they go egg shaped, as they TRY....and fail....to go faster' in your head.

That and 'They see me rollin', they hatin'' nose art.

Yeah, I'm not seeing a reason to make it 35 tons either... ;D

Because it's a quadvee using up a significant portion of its available tonnage being a quadvee and it didn't feel right to not give it an AC 10.

So about that meme....

First, the Urbie learned to fly. Now, it's learned to Crab Rave.

Snub-nosed PPCs are a common main cannon on later urbies
Guns may be a right, but kneecaps are a privilege.
