TRO 3145 Releases?

[red_wolverine]

I am most excited about the release of the following:

Tenshi (95 ton - TRO 3145 DC)
Götterdämmerung (75 ton - TRO 3145 LC)
Dragon II (65 ton - TRO 3145 DC)
Gurteltier (100 ton - TRO 3085 LC)
Templar III (85 ton - TRO 3145 FS)
Loki II (65 ton - TRO 3145 Clan)

Hopefully some of these will be released by December!

Is the Tenshi the same mech shown on the cover of Total Chaos?

[JadeHellbringer]

On the rough future schedule it's next year for the Bruin

This pleases me greatly. For this, I will let you live.  O0

Granted he didnt say when next year.

[JadeHellbringer]

Granted he didnt say when next year.

There's plans to make it at some point. That's all I needed to know.

[Alex Keller]

Total Chaos feature a Thanatos in the foreground firing at some WoB Celestials.

[Wolf Lancer 4]

That's good then.  If you were disappointed again I was going to simply say "I believe I can fly!"

[Weirdo]

When I say that, people get scared.

[Col.Hengist]

Marauder.

We're getting a Marauder.

HOLY PANTSLESSNESS, WE'RE GETTING AN HONEST-TO-CAT MARAUDER!!!
[rockon]

 Fjnny how that thkng looks a lot like a Hector...

[GRUD]

Wolf fans should be happy to note the Warwolf and Wolfen will be released soon. The Tundra Wolf, Sun Cobra, Carnivore, Mad Cat IV are already released. It's good to be a Wolf, no?

No.


'Tis far, FAR better to be an Inner Sphere Merc, so you can play with ALL the toys, and not be restricted to what you can and can't play with!   O0


 :D

[Alex Keller]

I didn't say one faction is better than any other.  Also, note my profile name.  O0

[Alex Keller]

I would love to have a mini of the Kodiak II from IWM!

[avon1985]

Any idea on if the Stinger IIc could be in the future next year? thats one mech I'm really looking forward to.

[shadow_walker]

So the MAD-4X is the progenitor to the 9M? 

[Colin]

Have all the mechs for previous TROs been released as yet? If not, they should really be done before new shiny ones are.

[Col.Hengist]

I agree Colin, but it's wishful thinking. That's something many of us have said in the past too.

[Alex Keller]

I think since we're now in the 3140s (finally) it's appropriate to push TRO 3145 designs. That's what it looks like IWM is doing.

One TRO produces more units that will fit in IWM's annual BT release cycle. I can only imagine they prioritize them according to some level of market analysis / coordination with Catalyst / dart throwing, and then try to back fill a few older ones when they can squeeze them in.

I too have been waiting for the Bruin, but I'll be happy to see future designs as well.

While you make a point, there are a lot of people, in my opinion, still playing in earlier eras. So I feel  they should catch up first before the rush into churning out the 3145 stuff.

How about releasing some 3145 while playing catch up on the older stuff?

Just my thoughts.

[Alex Keller]

Yeah, as much as I'd love to get the Bruin, I think it makes sense to go with 3145 and fit in the occasional 3085 or Primative. Not sure why so many from Prototypes were done. Those seem like they should've been Online Only at IWM's site.

[GRUD]

The thing is, it takes just as long to produce a mini for Retail Release as it does for Online Only.  This means the sculptor working on an Online Only mini is spending that time for it, and NOT for a Retail Release, and/or vice versa.  They've only got so many sculptors to work on a HORDE of unproduced minis.   :-\  I'd rather see minis made of designs we don't have ANY models of, rather than "Variant Y" of "Miniature X".   #P  We've got multiple Mad Cats, Marauders, Riflemen, Thunderbolts and Warhammers for instance, but no Ostwar, Bruin, or who knows how many others that only exist on paper or as proxies.  Not counting the odd occasional "One Off" some creative person has made for themselves of course.   O0  They're releasing 4-5 each month, so I think it would be nice if they could release at least 1 mini Per Quarter from an Old TRO that we've never seen before.  That's only 1 per 4 Months, so I don't see why it couldn't be done.  Then again, I know JACK about the sculpting process also, so . . .  ;D

More than 100% agree with you on this one...but I know they have their reasons.

[nckestrel]

Isn't that what thy have been doing?  July was an XTR, a 3085, and two Prototypes mechs. 
May was similar with two 3085 and one Prototypes.
November is mostly 3145, but also includes an XTR Succession Wars Marauder.  Which lots of people seem to be excited about, despite being yet another Marauder.

[Alexander Knight]

So the MAD-4X is the progenitor to the 9M?

Yes, yes it is...and I may have to buy at least one so I can have my pride and joy on the shelf.

There are designs going back to the oringinal TRO 3025 that have never been seen in mini form.  All the XTROs, 3085 and Prototypes TROs have come out in the past 2-3 years.  I'm wanting designs from TROs as far back as 23 years ago.  So No, that's not really what they've been doing.    :-\  Granted, they DO come out with minis I like, even the newer Variants I mentioned previously.  But as much as I like the looks of the Primitive T-Bolt and the new MAD-4X, we've already got T-Bolts and Marauders, and have had for YEARS.  Again, I'm wanting minis of designs we've NEVER had before.

[Sartris]

I think the Von Rohrs is the only 3075 mech still needing a mini.

I counted these missing 3085 at first glance (some may be on the published schedule or IWM plans to release them in the next year) :
Shockwave
Thunder Fox
Brahma
Ostwar
Orochi
Trebaruna
Parash
Dasher II
Goshawk II
Ursus II
Kuma
Bruin

That is what is happening. People get excited about new stuff and want to see it in mini form. There is a ton of new stuff in the 3145 PDFs. As soon as the Davion PDF came out, people were howling that the Atlas III wasn't being made and released right ******* now. We're getting some 3145 stuff. Did you notice that we just got primitives, stuff from Prototypes, and some other fun (while more niche) items like the Super Griffin and Revenant? And we'll see more of that too.

I'm wanting designs from TROs as far back as 23 years ago.

Guess there's been a big demand for them, huh?  ;) In all honesty, I think that if they're that important to you, if/when fan financing resumes, that's your avenue for those items.

Some were on the list to be released this year, but then CGL had to go and screw everything up by putting out a new TRO that people got excited about. Sucks to keep getting new stuff.  :D

[Sartris]

I just want a shockwave...  :'(

There are 'mechs from 3025 missing miniatures?
