Isn't, actually. Look up Steam-Powered Giraffe on youtube sometime.

You meet M. Bison one week, and blow up York the next? Sheesh, that's a rather extreme reaction, even for the Clans!

Worktroll said it!  Stone is directly tied to the ilClan!  It was all a sham!

[USER WAS STONED FOR THIS POST]

Stone is a WoB plant -> Clan Wolverine integrated into WoB -> Wolverine is the ilClan!!

For those of you that want the "Historical: First Succession War"...my distributor just sent out an email stating it would be released sometime in November. Sometimes they are a bit off, it's all dependent on when they show up from Catalyst...so we should hopefully have it by Christmas!

Personally, I believe this guy over some random distributor:

It's real, it's on the schedule, but it's still deep in development, so there's not much information. In fact, we're still debating whether it would be Historical: First Succession War or Historical: Early Succession Wars—so please be patient until we have something to say on it ;)

But that's just me.   ^-^

Based on previous experience, I would agree. I was just putting out there what the distro's have on schedule.

Look, dude, when you are a real mechwarrior you don't need to get all dressed up in cooling suits and cool helmets to work on your mech. You just strip down to your 1980s panties and crop top vest and start wrenchin' it.

I don't care as long as I'm drinking. I do care if I'm not drinking.

What's my cell number?  Not that I care...

More on topic; what primitive units are we waiting on? I know the Rifleman and Archer have been mentioned on RATS.

Nice. I'm not sure but I seem to recall a primitive Orion as well.

That I don't remember seeing, but it's more than likely going to be in a FWL document.

Yes we do! Volume 4

I just finished going through the objective series and below is a list of "primitive" mech we have not seen yet...

Rifleman
Centurion
Wolverine

I could not find any listings for the Archer or Orion. Most listings were in Liao and Periphery books, but there was one in the Kurita book as well.

We also haven't got the primitive Archer yet the ARC-1A, so lots of primitives to go I guess, hurry up Vol. 4.

Era Digest: Age of War has nice detailed RAT, which that does list what it think list all known Primitive designs we know of.
 
Ones we haven't seen yet:
Unit Name - (Primitive Intro Year / Modern Intro Year)

Wolverine (2471/2575)
Rifleman (2505/2770)
Archer (2458/2470)
Orion (2456/2470)
Griffin (2461/2492)

I think only problem with ED: Age of War RAT is that Bellerophon is listed number times in the RAT for all factions.  That design was suppose had only couple prototype Mechs made due to big problems with initial design.

Historical: Reunification War also lists some Primitive units, but it doesn't outright say what is what unless you know what model number/designation belongs to a particular variant thats is a Primitive Mech.

I'm looking forward to what they've been cooking up with later 2(?) Primitive Volumes their coming up with.

  The Marians whipped it up — the CN9-H, which packs an LB-10X and five RL/10s.  It was in XTRO: RetroTech, and debuted in 3077.  ;)
