- Orguss Industries little 'Mech designed for Urban combat defence and little else, performed well in it's given role. However, given it's limited speed, armour and a poor reputation amongst MechWarriors the unit was seen as more of a liability than an asset. Because of this it was spared many of the ravages of the Succession Wars and many working examples exist long into the 3050's. The Capellan Confederation use the lion share of these units, not out of choice, but through desperation after the invasion by House Davion severely depleted the 'Mech forces of the CCAF.
In MWO it's early days but the unit will likely find a place in the hearts of many players who enjoy a challenge and just want to troll like the best of them. It's not slouch for hardpoints but does suffer from extremely poor speeds, coupled with flimsy armour protection. As such the unit should either run as a pack or use the nearest assault as a big brother to take the hits to allow the Urbanmech to rack up damage.
Thanks for watching and as always have a good week :)
Behold the might trash can with a gun! terror at its imperator - B autocannon! aw who am i geting its just to cute to fear...
kidding* >.>
Keianna conner The Urbanmech is very cute, like a toddler holding a lollipop in one hand, and a magnum in the other ;)

My first encounter with an urbie in the tabletop rpg was a disaster because the seven of them that our gm put us up against were basically dashers in urbie shells and we couldn't hit them worth crap our team was an atlas an axman an archer and me in my raven we didn't have much trouble with our jobs most of the time our gm just wanted us to suffer we just couldn't hit them and for frags sake think dasher with an ac 20 we almost lost our atlas the ax man lost a leg the archer fucked off when the ax man lost its leg and I lost my raven to an engine blowout we had to retreat and come back, that raven was my first mech and we had to steal ours in that campaign, came back in my dasher with a stealth system and target designated for our two aerospace fighters at that point we were fed the hell up with that bull crap and the reason we had to fight them was because our gm rolled box cars like six times in a row while we had one of our other player character teams were running a heist on planet and those box cars screwed that team over needles to say most of that six person team died in the heist
I love this little guy. It's short, ugly and has the speed of a rolling coconut, but I have been consistently having 400 damage games in it.
+TheCraziestFox Yeah the true underdog of Battletech :) I need to roll that little guy out again sometime.
WE NEED Urbanmech IIC
7:50 sounds about right. Canonically the urbanmech was designed for quick and dirty guerilla tactics on heavier mechs in tight urban environments where their compact frame could allow them to maneuver around with more ease than bulkier mechs could. Out in the open or engaged in prolonged fights where one ton of ammo wouldn't cut it, they were fucked.
I had tons of fun running around in one! lol. Totally useless stock though.
In the modern game, this is a really effective 'Mech if run correctly and if you have a good build. I saw an Urbie running a Large Laser and 3 Machine Guns kill two Timberwolves and a Hellbringer. 'Twas an amazing display of its potential.
Forgot I even made this comment, but UrbanMechs are pretty solid these days, got RACs and if you front-load your armor, you’ll be pretty beefy against all but the strongest weapons (pretty much anything that’s pinpoint can be a concern, but that’s what’s currently the killer of light mechs with PPCs being OP rn)
My dad was in a kodiak. I was in an urban mech. I manage to destroy his center torso in a head on engagement with zero cover.
Looks like R2D2 gains some steroids
I tend to pilot the urbies with an er large or PPC slapped on to it. I like having all the ballistic ports filled with machine guns. I also went with the 180xl engie to get him moving though sometimes I just tap the move forward key slowly to make it seem like he's got the original engine in it. That's quite fun to do to freak out people. :P
+Nimbull Yeah machine guns in MWO seem custom built for the little fella'. The big ass laser gun is a bonus.
Got myself a single 170 XL as I'm too cheap to buy multiple engines. Made a decent build out the the 60 and 63 but the 60L at best I got two tons of ammo which is just too little imo.
So I made a DeputyDawg out of it, ERPPC, 3 small lasers and 2 mg. killed a atlas with it (with help) but because I killed him he whined and whined for the rest of the game.
While it wouldn't be lore friendly, just to make it slightly easier to fit out I would love to see a quirk for it that reduces the need for extra heatsinks for all engines by 1 or 2. Those extra tons will be very helpful, maybe do that for the trollcust too.
Simon C Yeah the heatsink restrictions really hurt the ability to make a standard build with extra ammo. I will probably make one of the extra variants a frankenmech at some point to see what can be made out of the chassis. The ER PPC is a good build and I have noticed a lot of machine guns being added to the chassis at the moment.
Mg's and lasers give you a chance to do something for more than 2 mins, while the law says it was good for about 2 mins in the game 2 tons of ac-10 ammo only gets you so far.
Simon C Yeah the 2 tons is going to make me play very conservatively and work alongside allies all the time instead of being more independent on the field.
Simon C Standard 130 in mine 60 kph top
speed dropped as much armor as i could and small laser so i could manage three tons of ac 20 ammo. This thing wrecks as long as you play support role with it. Had to drop jj too for ammo.
It's weird, watching these games two years later and going "where's that part of the map?" Or "oh, is that what this map used to look like?" :) Thank you for the memories! :)
I like to think the channel is also a kind of archive for the game at times :D
Great video man, and it's really telling to your commentary about the vulnerabilities of the UrbanMech that you had an ideal match regarding both team dynamics and map choice that you could fully showcase the Urban's relative strengths and yet still ended it with critical damage and and shredded central torso armor.
+skunkjulio I got really lucky I think haha. Thanks for the comment :)
let me talk ya rocket. So In the Blood of Kerensky I finally got to the first mech fight after chapters of political bs. The first mech is one of the main characters mechs the Yen Lo Wang. the Centurion his father used on Solaris. then They skip to another main character who is in a Wolfhound. Him and his buddy who is in a Blackjack are stalking some pirates. Which are a Locust a griffen and I believe a rifleman and a panther.
all of a sudden out of nowhere two mechs pop up. The Wolfhound tries to recognize one of.them and confirms it as a Catapult but the pilot is like "WTF is that that's not a Catapult". then his mech re confirms it as a marauder and the guy loses his shit. lmao because he has never seen one of those before. And the Marauder basically rapes the panther with its large lasers which go about 700 meters.
the wolfhound pilot is like "WTF WTF large lasers can't go that far. I have only seen them go 500 meters max."
I love where this book starts off. It's finally getting into the action and all these mechs are being introduced and it's so wierd because this book was written in 1996 I think.
edit: ah the Precentor Martial identified the catapult/marauder as A Mad Cat. I was mistaken. The Marauder already existed.
one of my favorite books from the series of novels :D
Every time you kill a urbie, a cat dies
+Rio The Lion That's too sad :(
Then must kill all urbies.
Hello CR
I have always liked the little 'trashcan'. It's primary role of City Fighting is the Mech's 'bread and butter'. It does quite well in an urban environment. But suffers due to it's slow speed outside that niche.
The slow speed does not really hinder the Urban Mech in the city. It's jump jets give it a maneuverability advantage in the close confines of a city battlefield, and the AC-10 is dangerous to larger Mech types and especially so to Light Mechs.
Jumping behind an enemy Mech and firing off that AC-10 is a good tactic, when you can maneuver to do so. A single hit on most Light Mechs can and does cause major damage, and sometimes critical damage to the foe. So single hit kills on Light Mechs are possible, although normally such a 'kill' takes two or even three shots.
Several Urban Mechs working together can take down even Heavy Mechs, and the much slower Assault Mechs find them to be a major danger to their relatively thin rear armor and ability to jump into a firing position in the Assault's rear arc.
The Urban Mech is also quite 'cost effective' in City battles. Taking down, or severely damaging Mechs far larger than themselves, and doing this to foes that cost FAR more to field, repair, or replace.
If I were part of a re-design team for the Urban Mech, I would design it to be about 5 tons heavier. Pushing it to the maximum of the Light Mech range of tonnage. This would allow for more weight to be used, and with XL Engines, FFA, Endo-Steel, and other technologies, would make the venerable Urban Mech even more dangerous in it's preferred combat environment.
Just you wait, the Urbanmech IIC will be the next thing. :P
Denchie Dean Honestly I am surprised they haven't milked the IIC variants since some of them aren't even visually that different from the originals and I for one wouldn't mind running a Hunchback IIC or Locust IIC. Also they could get away with using the IIC variants of the Warhammer, Marauder and others since they aren't owned by HG and thus could be used as the Inner Sphere looks for those iconic designs.
Critical Rocket True, but clan tech 'mechs with no locked slots?
The forums would feckin' implode. That said a Dual UAC20 Hunchie would be bloody hilarious.
Commando IIC though....Mmmm.
Denchie Dean There are lots of nice IIC's out there and knowing PGI they would botch them by making hard locked like the clan omnimechs anyway for "balance". I still find it hilarious that balance is a key issue in a game based off a wargame that purposely made the clan unbalanced so players could experience asymmetrical combat. I think PGI need to run a few rounds of Rising storm for Red Orchestra 2 to see how a good asymmetrical combat experience is done. Rising Storm is a WW2 Pacific setting for the game that has the technologically superior U.S. forces against the Japanese who make up for their tech shortfall with traps, banzai charges (buffs essentially) and mobile infantry sized mortar pieces.
Critical Rocket Exactly, it's rather hilarious that the Summoner, which is technically the Clan Mk II version of a Thunderbolt, but a lot more at the same time, is COMPLETELY inferior in every way, other than mobility and armor.
Denchie Dean
Well they already botched the clans with the CW situation and the holy trinity of Loki, MadCat and Ryoken. Something needs to seriously change to make the remaining clans viable or else CW is gimped forever. Sadly any IIC's would just be ignored while those three remain top of the food chain.
Hooray! It's finally here! ^_^
I love the Urban mech. In MW4 I used it exclusively on Solaris VII Light mech matches. I just pile on the reflective armor on the right arm, load it with an LBX AC 20 and an extra ton of amo... and just start shredding mechs for profit.
In the flavor of the universe, i see it as the "Poilce" mech.
Paul Gaither In lore yes it was pretty much that when in non combat situations. Riot control and security are its primary jobs and its position as the cheapest 'Mech ever built means many planets could afford them for their major urban centres.
I'm using UM-R60 with 3 Machine guns, 1 AC\2 and a Medium laser. It's very good when has a company of 1 or more heavies.
when I saw this mech I got the UM-R60,UM-R60L and the UM-R63 all with different loads out and I did try the Gauss Rifle on the UM-R60L
+Fallenpanther Gauss urbie. 360 degree sniping machine.
With right builds, you can be aggressive with the urbie. Of course it's the heretical energy builds.
With speed tweak, XL125 goes at 72.5 kph, and XL145 goes at 84.5 kph, which is kind of acceptable given your ballistic heavy build.
If you're serious with that AC10 build, i think you should consider an R63, arm-shield the left arm and strip it's armor, add use two medium laser for the left torso, use XL125, lower head armor to 2 and leg armor to 28 (UM-63 has +7 leg armor)
The meme machine lives!
go forth to victory little AC20 carrying trashcan......o7
Wither I really want to see him play the AC 20 variant urbanmech.
When actually built for the meta old Urbs can be quite a terror.
+Tiberius Kirk Oh yeah, I did run a meta Urbie with medium pulse lasers and machine guns and it was good, but boring for me. I like the challenge of running the little Urbie that could.
I think the UrbanMech works better in this game than in table top. I did manage to overheat mine by standing in a volcanic vent and constantly firing all weapons.
I love Urbie's. I think many others do too, i get much love on the battlefield from friends and enemy when plodding around in mine. I try to use the buddy method and plod around with a fatty or slow heavy. XL engine + no ecm support + "Warning incoming missle" = bad times on an open map in my experience
EDIT: especially in an Urbie
englishdavemk1 Yeah the Urbanmech was built for the buddy system. But there is no sweeter feeling than taking down a super advanced clan 'Mech in your little dustbin :)
Used to have one in my light company command lance in the miniature game.
Richard Layton Cheap to run and makes sense from a command perspective since your commander isn't going to rush into fire anyway. I need to get round to painting my mini of the little bugger.
Give it twin rotaries.
Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼
Hmmm this is definitely my play style, maybe I should use this instead of the raven...
I like how you said it's mostly just for laughs, yet the other urbie on your team had 3 kills and over 400 damage. I think it's just about the innersphere equal of the adder. If it had ECM it would be a terror.
Well PGI have a horrible habit of over slotting 'mechs with way too many hardpoints and even the worst 'mech in battletech can become a monster on the field. Realistically this thing should move like a turtle and spend most of the match hiding round a corner or behind a building to pop some AC rounds.
I would have love to have seen the game work properly with the clan omnimechs being as customisable as the inner sphere 'mechs and the inner sphere 'mechs working like clan omni's do now. Totally different game.
Ah! The TANK!
Nicely done, urbanmech is one of the hardest to play too.
Lisa winn Thanks :) I was lucky with this because it only took a couple of rounds to get the win. Sometimes I am playing 10 or 15 drops before I reach the criteria of - win, stay alive, get 1 kill minimum.
Still, that was some great strategy and very smart use of cover.
Lisa winn Thanks :)
Your very welcome ^^
I used to play this a little round about a year ago. I just recently got back into it after a resurgent interest in all things Battletech. You wouldn't happen to have any tips for a horrible, *horrible* newbie? Also, great work on the videos man!
Factual Paladin Thanks :)
The best advice is to find a weight class you find fits your style of play best and then research the builds used for those 'Mechs. If you prefer a close up brawling style of play then there are plenty of medium and heavy 'mechs that you can choose from. Sniping is covered by a number of assaults and some heavy and medium chassis's. Scouting is the lights (bar the Urbanmech) job so if you prefer helping the team spot and being a general pain in the ass for the slower enemies then that could be your calling.
The beauty of the MWO system is the way the game allows you to create a setup that works for you. As a first time 'Mech or getting back into the game proper, possibly a Hunchback 4G simply because your AC/20 can get you some kills and allow you to brawl well enough. If weight is your thing, then the Atlas is a fine option since it takes a lot of damage and can give a lot in return.
I hope that helps.
Critical Rocket Thanks for replying so fast! I've tried a couple of 'mechs from every class and, I like 'em all. The one job I cannot do is Sniping though, my fingers twitch. My favorite 'Mech so far is The Vulture. I love both it's design and it's role. I've noticed that you have throttle decay turned off in your videos, would you recommend that setting?
Factual Paladin
For me I found that having to hold down the key to move continuously was an issue since I use the X hotkey to come to a complete stop when I need to. Throttle decay off means you can adjust speed to match friendlies and allow you to move slowly around corners when expecting enemy contact, so yeah I would recommend turning it off.
mazdaplz I keep my mouse set to max DPI. My friends allways say I am insane for it. Peasants
Factual Paladin Wasn't asking me specifically, but if you like to ambush, go with an assault. If you like to brawl, go with a heavy. If you like to snipe, go with a medium. If you like to play with high intensity: scouting, distracting, circling around slower mechs, go with a light.
I enjoyed this video, thank you

This is clearly for the hardcore mechwarrior. New mechpack incoming soon from Russ "training mechpack" only 80 dollars.
Cutiest mech EVER confirmed!
+ORBrunner That little guy, his little stumpy legs are so kewt.
Ahhhh the trash can :3
Looks so fun but I couldn't bring myself to part with the money.
Ozzie Game Guys Yeah its a joke a 'Mech for sure and the $40 price tag for the collectors edition is for nutters like myself :) I honestly would wait for the C-bill release since its not a "must have" chassis.
Dude! u get more cbills in that urbanmech than i get in my king crab!
+The Nerd Squad The special variant and premium time add to that end amount nicely.
We so need the fire ant.
Urbi & orbi yes this can can do it so if clans made some updated version too ???
The clans did make a IIC version of the Urbie a lot later on.
@@CriticalRocket So again somebody makes me fool again ...
@@CriticalRocket The world of lore is rich but it's also fool of traps ...
I run an LB10 and a medium laser on an urbie that runs 95, and has pretty full armor
Critical, can I ask for your pc specs? I am having big troubles with performance...
+Петров Sure -
i5 processor
GTX 970 GPU
16gig of DDR3 RAM
Critical Rocket
Thank you. My processor is good, but the rest... meh...
+Петров U dont neeed A gtx970 to play mechwarrior on ultra a 750ti for a 100 bucks (like i have one) and invest the 100 buck for 8 gigs ram too
TLRG [TheLastRealGamer]
Thank you man.
If I ever got an Urbanmech. I'd paint it green, make it look like trash, and name it Oscar. Yet it is a grump "little" Mech and goes around picking up scraps from all the damaged mechs left behind. Just run a business selling it all.
Wha? Thought I'd take Oscar into battle? You funny! No, real money is in selling leftovers and cast-offs to pilots that need replacement parts. Recycling is very important.
1:04 tell us how you really feel Lord Rocket 😀.
I've never seen anyone pilot this in an MWO game lmao.
+SnakePlissken001 They aren't massively common but they do pop up every now and then :) Usually they are carrying multiple lasers and some machine guns with a decent speed. Surprisingly tough to hit when they are quicker too.
Look around , love mine. Play it all of the time.
It is available for c-bills now
+StoneGullet Yes believe it or not it has this week been released for c-bills :)
I bought it but I haven't got my mechs. What should I do?
James Morritt Nvm ignore me I cant read.
James Morritt :) Have fun
Critical Rocket This mech is hilarious. Love it XD. As someone new to mechwarrior I've gotta say I'm very happy.
James Morritt
Glad you enjoy it :) Have fun stomping those 'Mechs.
I've been watching all of your mech videos. They're great, but I think it could have benefitted from showing more competitive/custom builds rather than the stock builds. I understand the desire to stick to the lore and tabletop and all that but in the end it is its own game and should be played according to what works best in the game.
Jared Kirk The reason I show the 'Mechs in their stock weapon configuration is mainly to show them as a blank slate essentially. There are a million and one other people out there who twitch stream or upload videos of their builds or show off the current meta where as there aren't many just showing you the 'Mechs in their default loadout. I personally prefer playing the game this way since I am a purist from a lore perspective and I did used to run the comp builds and frankly they bored the crap out of me. Everyone running around with the same builds is no different from playing Call of duty, its repetitive and for me drains all of the tactics out of the game.
What really makes me laugh is that MechWarrior is the name of the tabletop roleplaying system where these games would have worked better if they were called Battletech instead. If MWO or any future Mechwarrior games allowed us to make an avatar and gain skills and experience in a RPG fashion that would be great but as it is, its just World of Tanks with 'Mechs.
As for making videos of the comp/custom builds its unlikely really. If people really want to see me run X build then I would make the video but simply spending c-bills and time in the mechlab for a few meta videos doesn't interest me all that much. Also not being a dick here or anything but why should people the game in a specific way? If I want to play it with stock loadouts and its to my disadvantage (I know it is) then thats my choice, the same as the player who runs the 2 Gauss/ 2 ER PPC's on their Dire Wolf or pulse laser Thunderbolt, or 6 flamer Firestarter. The customisation is there for people to play how they want not to dictate how you should play the game.
where's the annihilator? That in the game yet?
+koalabrownie Nope sadly not. I am hoping they do a Wolf dragoon pack one day but it's likely a long way off.
I have discovered the truth CR. You are a House Fraggle-Rock Fanboy. Your moniker of Fraggle-Rocket is therefore highly appropriate. :3
Satan's race points deleted in 5...4.....3.....2.....1...
LMAO! :3
over 60 kph, nice you are using the fast version
+Josh Rademacher (jitter001) Those go faster stripes really helped :)
Great video as always, I love how you showcase mechs in lore appropriate loadouts.
If you run the same loadout with single heatsinks and ferro fibrous armour you can comfortably fit the XL 145 engine, making it quite a bit faster without losing the urbie feeling.
mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=276&l=a007548d05d575b2ecb403ddc7440a20999e2fcd
I'm "Sjorpha" in game, see you on the battlefield.
Love Lidén Thanks for the loadout, will try it out. Add me in game "James Heywood" if I don't get online before you :)
running my urbie with an ac2, 3 machine guns, 2 medium lasers, all on a standard engine and going 72 kph eat this urbie haters ! :P
Wait, do I hear 🐤🐥🐦🐧🐔🦃?
I don't know about the animations. Seem more floaty than usual
Stormeris Yeah the video sadly doesn't show them very well. When you fight one you can see the little bounce it has as it walks and the 360 torso twist looks cool. I just wish they would give us a free floating or at least rotational spectate cam.
My mechwarrior group called it the derp untill someone joined our group ho sho hat modified one could do.
LMFAO @ Deal with it shin.
Id buy the package cause you get one of each variant..
+deathlegionair It's worth it if you really, really like MWO or Battletech in general. The Urbanmech however isn't the best light out there, it's purely for the lol's for older battletech fans.
Critical Rocket That's why I want it, I love the Battletech RPG series, and I just love the way it looks... though it should have more armor than the other light mechs..
+deathlegionair Well every 'mech has more armour than they should anyway so technically it does have more armour in some respects. Also if you want the pack you can buy it again mwomercs.com/store/gifts
it makes me mad that this mech isnt out for cbills yet...
+Rio The Lion They have taken their time. I do wonder if they are keeping it as an exclusive for a year or something so everyone who ordered can feel like they are special snowflakes haha.
+Critical Rocket it can be bought via real money outside package and since they are on steam now it should be easier to buy it.
deathlegionair Your pictures lewd af
Rio The Lion Only if you think of it that way... I normally remark to others when they ask what the pic is about by saying that Knight.exe has suffered a critical error...
deathlegionair its lewd
try an ac2 and 4 medium lasers
on the r60L
6:45 to get to the fight without all the talking.
+TheForgottenWolf I think someone beat you to that joke a while back ;)
+Critical Rocket Its not a joke. Some people just want to see you fight in the mech to see how it fares. Pretty much anyone who plays MWO for a slightly length of time can just look at your load out and see whats going on without 6 minutes of waiting. I mean no offense to you or anything, I just personally like it when someone posts a time length to get right to the action.
As for the Urban mech? Its pretty much a waste. It doesn't matter that its a light that can carry an AC20, None of that matters because you are going to get devoured by ANYTHING that gets near you that has even the slightest bit of speed. Even things that don't have speed, Such as assaults, Will still destroy you because they have the armor to match their low speed.
+TheForgottenWolf What I meant was an earlier comment already made the link you made ;) Also the Urbanmech is a joke, that was the point of it in MWO. That is why they did a limited run sale on a single 'mech that was infamous in Battletech for being the cheapest and arguably worst 'mech in the entire setting circa 3025. Hence the reason it sucks in MWO.
No offence or anything either but you seem to be in the minority where this video is concerned since only one other person has complained about my talking over the video and it's this same video again. Presumably I talked a little too much over this but it was mainly because this was a first time for MWO with releasing a single 'mech in such a way that was new but also because it was a fan favourite for lore reasons. So naturally I am going to talk a little longer about this at the time.
Either way thanks for taking the time to comment and to post the time code for others to use :)
10:24 Nice American accent :D
+Riflemanm16a2 I always think my attempt at American accents would be terrible.
Yeah, I was going to say it sounded a bit like a goofy cowboy, but good nonetheless. :D
Riflemanm16a2
I never really thought about where in the United States I was going for ;)
Southern Accent can be easier than the Northern (Bostonian) Accent. Boston is more than just soft R's.... (pahk the cahh in the lot, we're late for chuhch: Fallout 4 voice-actors get this mostly right with a few BIG GLARING fuckups) [can you tell that I live relatively close to Boston?]
Urbe the ant mech. Lol
Shitposting: The Mech
Urbi is the ugliest mech ever.
The true underdog of Battletech, the trashcan of the battlefield, the Urbanmech. Cheap as they come and just as easily replaced. You can't go wrong with an urbanmech.
ac-20 on a small mech .......
+Grig Costin It's a legitimate build from tabletop, completely ridiculous but I guess you can scare the crap out of an opponent with it :) Hey even an Atlas pilot would have to make a piloting check if he was hit by both the AC/20 and small laser.
+Critical Rocket ac20 on a light mech is blasphemy ..... :)
*****
Then you have never experienced the joy that is THUNDERCHICKEN! The AC/20 carrying Raven 4X :)
+Grig Costin don't think of it as a light mech, think of it as a ac-20 on legs
+Critical Rocket I nicknamed it the BoomChicken. I got 24 ammo and a small laser fitted to a mech that goes 87 (if I remember correctly) with speed tweak.
My friends would laugh at it till they saw my 550+ average damage per game with it
holy crap that thing´s ugly, how´s does that even deserve the name "mech"? :B it´s a condition on metal legs
+asadd2 It's referred to as the trashcan for a reason :) Still it's a very small 'mech which can actually be tough to spot in a brawl and can damage you very quickly given the right build.
Pffft, you want to see a real ugly mech? Check out the Firemoth. It's arms are permanently fixed semi "WOO" pose.
Phucketmcsucket
Ah but it shits all over other clan 'mechs because it can shoot over walls haha
dont like it. its slow, no firepower and no armor. i stick to my shadowcat ;)
Meh, Urbanmech is the worst battlemech in battletech for a reason ;)
The UrbanMech memes are one of the worst, most cringe-worthy, least funny parts of all Battletech, I swear 🙄
I have to agree, the meme of the Urbanmech has gotten out of control.
