No shade, you do you 🍻

It’s painted more like an old school X-wing/Armada miniature. Decal works and lines were really good

Carmen Miranda’s Ghost song “Bomber” increases in volume

Something about fools and their money being parted…

@@DrBanzai That and apparently only a handful of each box being available.

I've heard this box was always going to be urbie, they just chose a lam version instead of 2-3 different urbie modals. I actually like lams and while I like how silly this modal is I do have to agree that canon mechs should have priority. Plenty of good mechs are unavailable or metal only.

The north wind highlanders pack, IRC; it’s an alternative option to place the jumping Highlander mech

Well I definitely don't need a jumping Highlander. That's useless in Alpha Strike if you are considering line-of-sight.

You do you, I just post videos on KZbin, I’m not a cop lol

@DrBanzai I know. I was just stirring the pot a bit. I did kit bash my own Urbie LAM - it was a kit bash challenge. I prefer my version over the CGL version. personally, I agree with your video. they would have been much better off making a set of actual LAM boxes. Stinger, Wasp and Phoenixhawk. those would have been well received.

@@bruced648 right on. Conversions are always good.

I didn’t really have any script for this, so when I started speaking it just kind of flowed. I don’t hate it as much as I think it’s a gross misapplication of resources

Yes and no. This served well as a light hearted official release of a product and one that has been rather popular and well received. Even if you absolutely dislike it there is still a positive net benefit for you: sales. Which means more products down the line and/or greater capacity of products. With literally every other force pack being serious, a single joke one in this wave or year doesn't hurt.

lol, lmao

As opposed to your left wing terroristic cult?

Did you even watch the video? He gave a positive review of it and you call it "greivence culture". Oh wait, your kind are allergic to facts and reality. BTW, it's spelt "grievance".

This wasn’t even that negative. Maybe you should go find another game if you’re going to be this toxic.

Well, aint you ray of sunshine. What happened to respecting the opinion of others, or just conducting yourself with basic decency?

Your engagement grows my channel ;)

lol he thinks I’m in this for validating my opinion lmao

So you can't formulate any meaningful counter argument. Looks like you just conceded.

Reviewing things includes reviewing things I’d rather not. This is a meme product which expresses the contempt with which CGL holds the fan base.

@@DrBanzai dude, this thing is gonna sell out, lol

@@Badlemech God I hope not. But I realize there are plenty of brain rotted newcomers that don’t realize this is useless and not representative of what actual LAMs can do.

​@@DrBanzai Maybe lighten up a little, it's a joke product, some people like jokes. Also, newcomers are great, why denigrate them?

@@Badlemech as far as “it’s just a joke” this is Urbanmech “joke” product #5. The joke is old at this point. The tributary problem with this is if this does draw in new players, they will just think the game is a joke instead of a great game.

Model a normal Urbanmech jumping…

Could better be achieved with Wasps/Stinger/Phoenix Hawk LAMs, which exist and have rules.

They could have done an existing LAM, and I don’t think anyone would have raised an eyebrow, but they did this, and decided to give us something no one will use consistently

I would hope that’s something in the work

Same

Same

At the time of review, there are rules for LAMs but this mech is without a record sheet; even if it does get one, they will likely not be legal based on the total warfare construction rules

They had fun with the: Urbanmech Salvage Box, the Urbanmech Lance pack, the Urbanmech company pack, and the UrbanFest April fools book…

@@DrBanzai Where there are Urbies, the fun never stops! I will get one, and I think I will call it Gary.

@@MrClassicor that’s certainly an opinion

@@DrBanzai What can I say - none of us are entitled to get what we think is "necessary" 🤷‍♂️ If we were, I would rage at the Blackjacks. Hate those things. So, this is not for you. Fair enough. But it seems to me that there are enough people enjoying this release to make it worthwhile. And if CGL decide to have more Urbie shenanigans in the future, that is their prerogativ. Besides, this might be them dipping their toes into the LAM pool; if this goes well it just might make it more likely to get "serious" / more traditional LAMs in the future. Seriously though, there is even a Blackjack in the Dragoons lance box, what's the deal with that? Ugly fekkers.

The issue, as far as I understand the LAM rules, this mech is rules wise illegal. There are the alpha strike cards, but they are hilariously bad, and is someone wants to light their money on fire it’s on them. I’m just the messanger

Pretty much

I don’t hate the idea, but it seems like a simple green bath will get it back to grey

If it does, CGL will take the wrong lesson from it, like it does with everything else

Could have been something actually useful, all I’m saying

It's more useful than an actual urbanmech. So I'm fine with that.

The Urbie already has an Assault Version...its called the Anhilliator.😂😂😂

I want off the Urbanmech ride. The joke went flat after the Urbanmech lance box, which was actually useful unlike this.

@@DrBanzai I've always found the Urbanmech a good city fighter for defense. Its only real flaw is the lack of ammo. It's slow speed isn't a problem in confined battlescapes. But that's my opinion.

@yourseatatthetable as a mech, I don’t mind the Urbanmech, it’s fine. The issue is it’s become a running joke that has gone too far, as far as products/focus etc

No, the BattleTech mascot started as the Warhammer, and then became the Atlas. I don't see an Urbanmech head as the symbol, it's an atlas head.

I think it’s an interesting concept, but I would have rather had it be done for the entire lance

@@DrBanzai That runs into more cost then, this box set already wa clsoe to $32 as it is, all four prepainted we would be paying closer to $50 a set. Not worth it.

I hate painting. You don't speak for me.

That’s a very odd choice

It should strip just fine I think

@@DrBanzai I will likely strip my 2nd one, but since the Lone Wolves are a conglomerate unit with no set paint job, and I have decals. I have a idea on how to start from the Kerensky paint job and work out. Worse case, it gets stripped and I start over. CSO Archer

Me too, kid.

I put mine back in its bag and tucked the dime bag between its knees then into foam. I’m good lol

Yeah, Kerensky’s model would have been so unique and cool

It is a slight repose though.

The card says it’s an Orion Kb, which the small b means it’s a royal star League variant. The wrinkle though, is that configuration does not exist. So here we sit waiting for the record sheet.

A company called VMS makes a super effective stripper that you can re-use by filtering the bits of paint out with a coffee filter. Not sure how harsh it would be on the soft CGL plastic.

Yeah… yeah…

So do I, honestly quite surprised as to the quality of the Orion paint.
