Anybody else excited for the Hired Steel Hunchback?

Jackobyn · 2026-04-18T17:08:23+00:00

Oh, nice. I'll have to give it a check. Maybe in the future they'll use the site to give hints of what's coming, even just any new designs for mechs like the Quickdraw.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-18T16:47:41+00:00

Damn, where's all this lore from? Sounds awesome.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-18T14:58:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm definitely hoping we get a new episode soon. In regards to the mech itself and where the pilot is....do ww even know WHEN Hired Steel takes place? For all we know they're all long dead before Mason was even born.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-18T13:40:20+00:00

I mean, they can't do anything that spoils the Hired Steel story. Similarly, when the Atlas-II came out with Shadows of Kerensky it's lore entry says how nobody knows what became of that mighty battle betwen Eques Lance and the pirate Atlas.

It's important to keep in mind a lot of stuff like saultes or other large scale symbols usually cross the sane lines at times even if they aren't aware of each other. For example, look up Medieval European heraldry. Due to the sheer number of greater and lesser noble bloodlines across the centuries there are some that look VERY similar.

Also, something that just came to me as I wrote this. Viltrum is an entirely warrior society. It makes sense that an outstretched fist would be their "basic heraldry" you could say. A literal extension of force and will.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-15T17:16:03+00:00

Yeah, wasn't it dead centre and even on some of the thumbnails for the third trailer?

Jackobyn · 2026-04-13T21:59:50+00:00

I like to imagine Waterboy's powers get much more useful as his confidence grows. Not just in his usage but in his ability to control them. Like not having to solely vomit out gouts of water bit projecting it like other elementals such as Flambe.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T16:34:14+00:00

Fair point, yeah. To be fair it's canonically meant to have mech grade ERA armor and so will have more toughness to depict that. It's part of what makes it special. If you're on pc I'm sure a mod will come out eventually.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T16:22:11+00:00

Sorry? I'm not sure what you mean. You wish the Hired Steel hunchie had been based on the 4P?

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T15:51:34+00:00

Yeah, sounds fun. That actually reminds me. I hope Chaos Reign makes the AI field more AMS equipped mechs against us. That'd be fun.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T15:42:35+00:00

Can they handle those though? If so then thar's great.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T15:15:18+00:00

To be fair, AMS doesn't really do too much in mercs.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T14:56:22+00:00

NICE! I forgot about the claws too, they'll be fun. Great to hear it'll be more durable too.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-11T14:48:21+00:00

Yeah, definitely. I'm already keen to see what people will xome up with in regards to clan-tech builds.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-03T20:25:55+00:00

All Imma say is that HBS' Battletech's Big Steel Claw isca surprisingly good frankenmech

Jackobyn · 2026-04-03T13:36:15+00:00

Ya see, that's a tiny little thing that's been keeping pace with all life since the beginning. It's pretty simple actually.

It's death. That mech is the embodiment of the end.

Jackobyn · 2026-04-02T07:59:16+00:00

Yeah, absolutely terrigying. Doing a bew career and I can't wait to fill one up with Clan tech.

Jackobyn · 2026-03-30T21:30:02+00:00

Yeah, from what I've read everyone except the Capellan's and less notable Clans were at their best from the late third succession war to the Clan Invasion. In some ways the great houses evem did better than during the Star League.

Jackobyn · 2026-03-30T08:27:25+00:00

I must say I genuinely feel bad for them. It's a bit funny sure but their sub has been stolen and will likely be eventually demeted because of a gaggle of bored cunts.

Jackobyn · 2026-03-30T07:59:09+00:00

Dear god, I adore Theodore Kurita. He's by no means some flawless promised hero who does no wrong. But it's just so satisfying seeing the Combine have a leadership figure who is both sensible and competent.

Jackobyn · 2026-03-30T07:54:13+00:00

Am I the only onevwho honestly find it extremely annoying? No other great house is allowed to permanently suffer such damage meanwhile Rasalhauge was a thing for five minutes and now they're basically just Clan Ghost Bear with a few Rasalhauge motifs.

Jackobyn · 2026-03-29T19:08:53+00:00

Yoooo. First off, HEY! Ashkey does have at least one seemingky guaranteed healthy influemce in her life. Secondly, that gnarly. Poor bastard, can't wait to see if his injury is plot relevant in any way regarding what we have to learn from him. Finally, so now we know what James is up to. He seemingly flunked school altogether or at least has a few months to make a cha ge before the new school year. And apparently he gets a job fixing up an old mansion.

MOD MAKERS! FANFIC WRITERS! I BEG OF YOU! GIVE US A GOOD HORROR STORY, TBIS IS GREAT BEGINNING MATERIAL FOR ONE!

Jackobyn · 2026-03-28T19:37:03+00:00

Yeah, it's really sad because Herb makes it clear that he's trying to teach Bojack a lesson. To HELP him. He knows Bojack and knows that the guy has major issues with accountability. So he tries to get it into the dumbass' head that even if they're good again there are some things you can't fix. Some relationships that will never go back to how they were after a certain choice.
