#battletech #blackpantslegion #battletechanimation PLEASE SUPPORT BRUINS - • Frihet - A Mechwarrior... MUSIC IS: EPIDEMIC SOUND at www.epidemicsound.com/
The spectators losing thier collective shit when the construction urbie absolutely decks the jade falcon with the TrashCAN urbie will never not be amusing to me
Because of the flaws of the culture, dirty Clanners will never understand the Urbanmech- UrbieJocks know that the end of the day, you do not stand alone and victorious. As the ancient wisdom goes, "teamwork makes the dream work."
The IS and furthermore, the Periphery, once again reminding the Clanners that all it takes is a well placed dumpster, and ComStar, to put them in their place.
That's a wholesome image 😊. Reminds me of the "angery bois" videos on yt. (A couple of Corgis who mostly got along, but then went full-on air-biting mode at each other if one pinched a toy. The owners put text commentary on the videos. Bloody funny 😂
So many youngsters dont get the Herbie Urbie pun that it physically hurts me. Edit: So many people who do get the Herbie Urbie pun only know about the Lindsay Lohan movie that it causes me further pain.
Inspired my next Urbie paint job. I have a Harlequin VW Golf Urbie, Police Urbie, Battletech CCG Urbie, Oscar the Grouch Urbie, and now I must do American Gladiator Urbie and Herbie the Urbie.
@@gillsmoke you remember his comment at the end of these animated videos I saw, where he said ‘I warned you I would do dumb shit with this money’. I enjoy it, I like it, and I want more of it.
Yeah, when I saw it in the lineup I thought the same thing-I just didn’t expect it to be thrown across the finish line. I thought for sure that it would simply roll faster down the hill than the Urbies could run… or, more accurately, speed walk.
Most recent version of the Urbie - Still just as tactically effective but at half the cost. Coming to a lot near you with the Made in Capellan sticker still on.
Bruins: makes a heart-wrenching silent story of the horrors of war and cycle of violence, but ultimately leaves it unfinished. Also Bruins: Trashcan go brrrrrrr. 10/10. Good to have range.
Bruins doesn't get the attention/love he deserves. His partially finished shorts have more feel for setting than a lot of the bigger BT content creators.
The algorithm didn't tell me Tex had done a director's cut of TTB the Urbanmech, but it saw fit to tell me this little gem had been released. Long Live the Urbie, long live the BPL, and long live Van Zandt! Happy New Year everyone!!!
We actually just had an Urbie Derbie at my local game store, The Gamer's Haven in Spokane, WA. We had such Masterpieces as the UwUrbie and the Biblically accurate Urbie
In my head cannon: urbanmechs are so ubiquitous that there has to be clubs of hobbyists who customize their urbies. Probably put dumb spoilers and body kits on it. Probably take the mufflers off to wake your children up at night. The whole 9 yards
We used to have games like 'speedboat attack ' and 'canal racer' with torpedoes and stuff, in the 90s. Racing and weapons are a tried and true classic. Sure it would work!
You go little trashcan, chase your dreams through the stars😂 Seriously though this was unironically way better than I ever would have expected, you've done it again Tex, wll done. Also you picked somehow the perfect music for this lol, I might have to just listen to it on loop at work tomorrow 😂
The storytelling in this is masterful, from the way herbie crashes because it's the only one without jump jets, to the way the dumpster closes its lid like it's a cockpit hatch, to the way you can tell it's a Jade Falcon urbie just from the way it looks.
The crane urbie pilot being the ultimate sportsman and flinging the dumpster Urbie to victory. Didnt hurt that he took out a filthy clanner mech on the way too 😂
Van Zandt is Space Florida, where both Inner Sphere and Clanners fear to tread, and Magnificent Crazy is the whole of the law. And Our Host is Space Florida Man, with all the chaotic energy that entails. Shine on you crazy fucking diamond. Happy New Year, all.
No such thing as a bad Urbie Derby, just one over too soon. Awesome work by Bruins as always, and nice cameo from your Locust pilot. What ever happened to her ladyfriend?
Thousands of years from now, that dumpster is going to smack someones dropship in orbit of a totally different planet, and they'll stare at it, reading "Property of the Van Zandt Militia Reserve, Model UM-D01, and say "What the fuck?"
Thanks to this BPL banger I watched on my way back to the bars after new years after narrowly surviving a close encounter with a clan ghost bear elemtal woman ❤
Thanks. Glad to see the standalone version. This is the first youtube video i have watched this year and i hope the upbeat tune will be an indicator of an enjoyable year. Happy New Years to you and the Team.
Herbie Urbie!!!! Loved the meme so much I have one of my many urbie minis painted in the pattern of it. Was thinking of painting the other 11 up as classic race cars for the sake of a tabletop urbie derby.
heeee heeeeeeeeee! so much fun I must try it now! You guys rock the techno too... whoever programs 1980s EDM for battletech deserves a posthumous medal :)
Tourney I use to be a part of did a 'Stinger Shoot-out' as a finial battle on a 30x30 hex circle 'plateau' where getting knocked off was getting eliminated. I want to say it was 10+ Stingers but I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was fun as hell. Just blowing the hell out of each other and doing every melee trick possible to win.
TEX you lovely Space Teacher, yoz made me play Mechwarrior 5 again and Ingnited my love for the Urbie Again. Thank you for this. And a Happy New Year, May you and the Legion be blessed with Health and Happyness this Year.
This is so heartwarmimgly amazing! Both my little girls are so smitten with the "little baby mech", thanks for making it easy to bring the next generation of mechwarriors to the hobby ❤
If that's an Eryie, either it was blown the fuck up and rebuilt shittily or these lunatics have gotten their Urbanmechs to run at 97 kph to match the thing. Which I would not disbelieve in the slightest.
The best thing about this is that if this was a real life event the trashcan/dumpster would have been the betting favorite among BT fans. Also I love everything about this. The music, the animation and even the cheesy story in which the sexy, toned and green hero wins the day.
Anyone else feel like that Trashcan that was flung off into space had this huge loredump about it? Like it was the sign Hanse Davion got to unify with the Lyrans or that it was seen by the remnants of Clan Wolverine on some distant world.
I am now mildly inspired enough that i'm going to take a toliet paper roll, small flash light, and something egg shaped and make a budget urban mech. Or i suppose given the materials a top of the line urban mech.
Amazing animation. I love it, and I love the track "Gaining season" if I'm not mistaken off of epidemic sound. I use it in some of my stuff. Keep up the great and inspiring work. Thank you for all you guys do for the community.
At the end of the next Tex talk battletech, whenever that is, we need a follow-up of whatever mech you're talking about at the moment, preferably a poorly received one, getting hit in the face with the trash can "urbie."
I can't get over how incredibly specific this humor is. Like, I can't show this to anybody because I'd have to explain why a dumpster is in the race, and why it's funny.
I just need a mod for the Battletech computer game to allow me to work for Van Zandt. An Urbanmech, a pallet of Jameson and an endless supply of coffee... I'm in business.
Van Zant, it sure as heck is wierd here, but the briskit is to kill for, and so are the free Warhammers, as well as the Urbies. And It is, as they say charming and rustic. GOD BLESS VAN ZANT! AGE TUM NEGOTIUM!
The spectators losing thier collective shit when the construction urbie absolutely decks the jade falcon with the TrashCAN urbie will never not be amusing to me

Except, that was a Draconis "Dragon" Urbie, not a Clan Urbie. Pay attention to the weapons loadout
@@missjayspeechley9213 look at the scoreboard. It literally has the green turkey.
"What's an Urbie Derby?"
"It's like a Corgi race but with guns"
That's a wholesome image 😊. Reminds me of the "angery bois" videos on yt. (A couple of Corgis who mostly got along, but then went full-on air-biting mode at each other if one pinched a toy. The owners put text commentary on the videos. Bloody funny 😂
I feel like a corgi race would be actually faster than an Urbie Derby :p
@@Mak10z not if the corgi's are driving the Urbies
So many youngsters dont get the Herbie Urbie pun that it physically hurts me.
Edit: So many people who do get the Herbie Urbie pun only know about the Lindsay Lohan movie that it causes me further pain.
I know the pain. Had to explain to a new guy at work what AOL and Dial-up were.
God I remember that car but not what it was called, thank you
I hate my generation, dude. They are pure cringe.
Inspired my next Urbie paint job.
I have a Harlequin VW Golf Urbie, Police Urbie, Battletech CCG Urbie, Oscar the Grouch Urbie, and now I must do American Gladiator Urbie and Herbie the Urbie.
The love bug
"I got 2 hours of air, 100 oz. of popcorn, and 1 month of free time! God bless Van Zandt!"
"God bless the Van Zandt Free militia !"
You keep saying you will do dumb shit with the money we give you…
You never disappoint. :)
Ikr? Tex gives money to up & coming artists, honorable charities, and the BPL members working hard on these videos.
Hail Cargonia!
I have yet to see any dumb shit. So far everything is quality.
I'll leave what that quality is to the immagination.
When it comes to money in the battletech community, Bruins is NEVER a dumb investment!
Wasn't dumb, was art. Perfect use of good money.
@@gillsmoke you remember his comment at the end of these animated videos I saw, where he said ‘I warned you I would do dumb shit with this money’.
I enjoy it, I like it, and I want more of it.
I think we all knew immediately the dumpster was gonna win.
Yeah, when I saw it in the lineup I thought the same thing-I just didn’t expect it to be thrown across the finish line.
I thought for sure that it would simply roll faster down the hill than the Urbies could run… or, more accurately, speed walk.
Which one?
I knew as soon as it got an explosive assist from Herbie the Urbie.
It's called trash CAN, not trash CAN'T!
Yes, but _which one_ ?
The dumpster with a cardboard tube and a flashlight taped to it makes me laugh every time I see it.
Most recent version of the Urbie - Still just as tactically effective but at half the cost. Coming to a lot near you with the Made in Capellan sticker still on.
I hear Discount Dan has a great deal on these.
that is the homeopathic "ESSENCE" of Urbie! distilled down to it s most PRIMAL form :)
Indeed a TrashCAN not a trash can't
I like to imagine that someone enters it every year and somehow it wins every time.
Bruins: makes a heart-wrenching silent story of the horrors of war and cycle of violence, but ultimately leaves it unfinished.
Also Bruins: Trashcan go brrrrrrr.
10/10. Good to have range.
Bruins doesn't get the attention/love he deserves. His partially finished shorts have more feel for setting than a lot of the bigger BT content creators.
@FailcopterWes This comment made my entire goddamn day. Thank you.
@@Snow-qe8ztAppreciated, bud.
animation? not done. Story? cooked to perfection.
@@klortikterra4423 I'd love to get back to it when able, hahah
This has that old mid-2000s energy that i love so very much.
The algorithm didn't tell me Tex had done a director's cut of TTB the Urbanmech, but it saw fit to tell me this little gem had been released. Long Live the Urbie, long live the BPL, and long live Van Zandt! Happy New Year everyone!!!
Thanks for the heads up, just watched it thanks to your comment.
I watched on my alt account
That was fucking glorious.
We actually just had an Urbie Derbie at my local game store, The Gamer's Haven in Spokane, WA. We had such Masterpieces as the UwUrbie and the Biblically accurate Urbie
*Concern*
A "biblically accurate Urbie" that's nothing by eye balls and wings would be incredibly disturbing
@@jedighostbear4401 It's all cockpits and AC10s.
@@Some_Really_Random_Dude. Now I REALLY want to see one lol
Aw damn I am on the other side of the state from you, but damn I'd have love to have seen that in person!
The Dumpster urbie hitting everyone right in time with the music. Perfection.
seriously, I love that Van Zandt has an Urbie Derbie on its moon. that's fucking amazing
I love the locust cameo, like the poor thing is just waiting for it’s moment in the sun
And if you look closely. You'll see it's the same pilot that was in his bulldogs animation.
@@genericname42 Huh, so it was. Nice spot!
@@genericname42sucks her contract hadn't included repairs
@@TheBloodedCatnah, she detoured to van zandt for the derbie
Fantastic stuff from Bruins and the BPL, as always.
Police Urbie never fails to bring a smile to my face.
... So
Does anyone besides me suddenly think a spinoff Battletech game centered around racing with mechs would actually be really, REALLY cool?
In my head cannon: urbanmechs are so ubiquitous that there has to be clubs of hobbyists who customize their urbies. Probably put dumb spoilers and body kits on it. Probably take the mufflers off to wake your children up at night. The whole 9 yards
Like those folks who race lawn mowers.
We used to have games like 'speedboat attack ' and 'canal racer' with torpedoes and stuff, in the 90s.
Racing and weapons are a tried and true classic.
Sure it would work!
It exists in lore on Solaris VII.
Could someone not mod a server in MWO or MWLL???
The astronauts going nuts over the trash can was way to funny
HERBIE URBIE!!! This makes me ridiculously happy! Happy new year!
Herbie needed jump jets...
This is an early 2000s flash animation I'm just now fondly remembering having watched two dozen times.
It's funny you should say that. This was literally made in Flash (now called Animate.)
After watching what happened with class of 09, flash animation will never die
You go little trashcan, chase your dreams through the stars😂
Seriously though this was unironically way better than I ever would have expected, you've done it again Tex, wll done. Also you picked somehow the perfect music for this lol, I might have to just listen to it on loop at work tomorrow 😂
I can always count on the BPL to provide late night cozy entertainment.
That bro with the popcorn kills me every scene
The storytelling in this is masterful, from the way herbie crashes because it's the only one without jump jets, to the way the dumpster closes its lid like it's a cockpit hatch, to the way you can tell it's a Jade Falcon urbie just from the way it looks.
This is honestly one of, if not the most beautiful animations I've ever seen.
Have a safe 2024 and may all your Urbie Derbies be epic.
I like how the Bulldog Locust pilot still hasn't fixed her mech.
Mark of pride at this point.
And let's be honest. A locust with half the armor is basically a locust with full armor but less weight.
@@DCBruinsMedia At least sheet metal it to keep out whatever environment you might fight in.
Spent all her money on tickets to the Urbie Derby, obviously.
1:59 is the crowd of spacemen going nuts, beautiful
"If I ain't winning, neither are you!" *yeet*
Ive watched this in the urbie video so many times already, excited to have it as a stand alone now
The crane urbie pilot being the ultimate sportsman and flinging the dumpster Urbie to victory. Didnt hurt that he took out a filthy clanner mech on the way too 😂
That wasn't being a sportsman, that was being petty. But it made for great entertainment.
@@bthsr7113it was very petty, but it was also *very* funny
Teamwork makes the dreamwork, and the dream of the Clans is the antithesis of the Urbanmech ethos. Can't let them win.
I was like "this is stupid i can already see the flashlight dumpster winning"
And i was STILL suprised.
The question was never "if."
The question was *"how."*
The crowd just bellowing "LET'S GOOOOO" right after dumpster impact
"They filled me with trash, I filled them with lead." ~Urbanmech, probably
This is the Best way to ring in the new year by far
Construction Urbie is a true G.
I love the crane claw twitching right before the race goes, just that extra little touch of anticipation and personality expressed through the mech.
I just personally love the little detail of the popcorn bouncing off the astronaut's helmet... 😂
Van Zandt is Space Florida, where both Inner Sphere and Clanners fear to tread, and Magnificent Crazy is the whole of the law. And Our Host is Space Florida Man, with all the chaotic energy that entails.
Shine on you crazy fucking diamond.
Happy New Year, all.
No such thing as a bad Urbie Derby, just one over too soon. Awesome work by Bruins as always, and nice cameo from your Locust pilot. What ever happened to her ladyfriend?
She's formed a standoff relationship with the merc company's dropship cat. Batchalls to follow...
That made me choke on my New Year's Day Hungover Morning Hair of The Dog Beer@@DCBruinsMedia
@@EricDKaufman Ehehehehhe cheers, bud!
The choreography matched to the track is insane and it gave me goosebumps. Whoever had the idea you are awesome and made my year!
Why does van zant look like cybertron from the original transformers
Anyways long live the urbie and praise the lord and pass the Arrow IV
the most amazing ending to a text talks battle tech to date. I can't wait to see if another outro beats this.
That is exactly what I said. I didn't think the rental Charger could ever be topped, yet here we are.
The rental Charger was my background for a while. Now its a trash can getting kicked into a race. LOL@@EricDKaufman
Thousands of years from now, that dumpster is going to smack someones dropship in orbit of a totally different planet, and they'll stare at it, reading "Property of the Van Zandt Militia Reserve, Model UM-D01, and say "What the fuck?"
And so the first Urbanmech LAM was born...
2:10 - it’s the locust from Bulldogs
Eeyyy!!
My son’s favorite video.
Crane bro was like “if I can’t win I would rather the literal dumpster win than you”
Can we all agree this banger of a soundtrack is the official “Urbie Mix”?
My favorite is the Lovebug Urbanmech. It brings me back to my childhood with those ridiculous Herbie movies.
I'm kind of digging the Jade Pigeon.
This. This is the content we crave. That was a wild ride and i enjoyed every second. Thank you so much 😂
This soundtrack slaps fucking hard man!!!
Thanks to this BPL banger I watched on my way back to the bars after new years after narrowly surviving a close encounter with a clan ghost bear elemtal woman ❤
Nearly death by snu-snu then? 😂
Tex's ex wife?
@@EricDKaufman just because I’m a jumped up mercenary doesn’t mean I’m suicidal 😂
This is the best short you guys have done. I love it.
Nice to see the locus pilot amaya from DC bruins other animations make an appearance
Eyyy!! Sharp eyes!
Thanks. Glad to see the standalone version. This is the first youtube video i have watched this year and i hope the upbeat tune will be an indicator of an enjoyable year.

Bravo to the Master who put this together! I had perhaps an unlawful amount of fun watching this animated short. Long Live Van Zandt, Hail Cargonia!
this is so stupid and I love every second of it XD
happy new years and keep up the good work ^,^
the damn astronaut trying to cram popcorn into his helmet got me sooo good LOL great animation
Glorious!!! A perfect start to the year!!!
My 3 year old loves this
"PLAY URBY DURY!"
Awesome kiddo.
ngl, an Urbie build like Megas XLR with a civilian vehicle for its cockpit/bridge would be a funny concept
Gotta use a VW Bug for the cockpit with racing stripes.
Or two Vespa scooters like eye stalks. Because he dreams of growing up to be a Big Beautiful Crab.
A wonderful end to the year. Thanks for the smiles.😊
Bloody Jade Falcon Eryie entering into my Urbie Derbie!
Was wondering what that one was.
If that's an Eryie, either it was blown the fuck up and rebuilt shittily or these lunatics have gotten their Urbanmechs to run at 97 kph to match the thing. Which I would not disbelieve in the slightest.
@@irradiatedslagheap7933 Probably had to bid turning off 4 of its jump jets and not running to be let in
I've been needing something happy in my life going into 2024 and BPL fucking delivered 50 minutes before the New Year. Love you guys!
This.... this is what I needed in my life. Well done.
This is the greatest piece of cinema I have ever seen, what a way to ring in the new year! Hats off to all the BPL!
Added to the gym playlist for the awesome sound track.
The best thing about this is that if this was a real life event the trashcan/dumpster would have been the betting favorite among BT fans.
Also I love everything about this. The music, the animation and even the cheesy story in which the sexy, toned and green hero wins the day.
Forget fireworks, Urbie Derbie is way better... and includes fireworks
Hell, the Urbies ARE the fireworks!
Magnificent! Happy New Year BPL! One year closer to FTL and the invention of myomer!
Well done! Love you guys 👍
Anyone else feel like that Trashcan that was flung off into space had this huge loredump about it? Like it was the sign Hanse Davion got to unify with the Lyrans or that it was seen by the remnants of Clan Wolverine on some distant world.
Somehow floats all the way to Terra and crashes into Unity City
Alaric Ward is deeply disturbed that the Periphery apparently has plans for him.
This very well might have been my favorite part of the directors cut xD
This just warms my heart! Absolutely awesome!
I LOVE everything about this, and the Music is a BANGER
Now that football is almost over for the year we need THIS. Fun stuff, BPL!
Great way to start the new year!
Remember it's a trash CAN, not a trash can't
I am now mildly inspired enough that i'm going to take a toliet paper roll, small flash light, and something egg shaped and make a budget urban mech. Or i suppose given the materials a top of the line urban mech.
Amazing animation. I love it, and I love the track "Gaining season" if I'm not mistaken off of epidemic sound. I use it in some of my stuff. Keep up the great and inspiring work. Thank you for all you guys do for the community.

"They filled me full of garbage, I filled myself full of speed!"
Van Zant, it sure as heck is wierd here, but the briskit is to kill for, and so are the free Warhammers, as well as the Urbies. And It is, as they say charming and rustic. GOD BLESS VAN ZANT! AGE TUM NEGOTIUM!
Jesus I haven’t thought about herbie in years, this was fuckin great!!! Another BPL banger
am i the only one that wants to se a battle tech cartoon based solo around urbie derbie's like they could be BT version of nascar!
With some Dukes of Hazard mixed in, it would rule.
hell of a way to start the new year!
A good way to start the new year.
Happy New Year to the BPL and to all the viewers out there.
Loved this, from herbie urbie to the freaking trash bin.
