Well, the Hatchetman HBS made and the Hatchetman PGI made don’t even look quite the same, and neither invented it obviously; tabletop had Hatchetmen a lot longer.

The Bull Shark, at least as far as us end users are concerned, was a HBS original in its entirety, and PGI’s take, while different in relatively subtle ways, evidently stayed true to its original aesthetic for the most part. lol

I will belive it when I see it but we get kickstarter stuff in yeah great, there are still things we are owed from the last kickstarter and no update or sign of them and it seems unlikely that even half of the products announced for this year are going to make it.

What are you still missing from the first kickstarter?

So what? I'm not being flippant here, I am seriously asking: how does it affect you if these products hit shelves later than planned?

Even dropping back to ordinary AC/5s which make use of the quirks is still a great option.

Untill they change those quirks ...

After the Hatchetman situation I assumed any more HBS in PGI was done, certainly was not expecting this...

Well, the HBS BattleTech game had two new 'Mechs in it: Hatchetman, and Bull Shark.

Now they have been both ported to MWO.

Do you think that the simultaneous release of a few dozen products a month or so from now will make up for that?

read the comic surrogates its much more deeper than the movie....its hard to find now
always thought that it was a warning about how net lets us insulate to a point of actually having fear of another human being or fear of embarrasment

I liked it for the action, but plotwise, i found Gamers more of a warning about tech than surrogates..

Nice looking reproductions, though.  This was the Jade Falcon of Aidan Pryde, it stands for all time since.

But the wheels are turning, however slowly.  Still looking forward to new product.
