Okay folks - a decision to make and an update to present

Alright: Mike's working his magic. Film is completely scored, we may go back and make final tweaks on the MEAT of the film. However, we have some fine details to wring out. Commercials are one part. Another is some fun cameos from folks. We're thinking maybe 1-2 weeks though I am hugely tempted to put this out on May 20 to Celebrate Tukkayid's victory. It's insane to think it's been a year since that video, but this ties back to it. Beautifully.

Anyways, a decision to make for you guys.

In the next few episodes, we will cover:
1. The Mackie and the rise of the Battlemech
2. The Rifleman
3. Probably, the Marauder or Warhammer

After that though...

What would you think?

The Long Tom, what, who's over compensating? Not me, I just like Gerald Bull...

How bout my Thunderbolt??? Or Minnesota Tribe?? Or Wolf's Dragoons??? Or Clan Wolverine??? Eridani Light Horse???

Would love hear your take on the Grasshopper. I'd be very excited to a video on the Warhammer as it my favorite mech.

I think we need a Primer on the Grate Houses/ the Sucseshon wars, but i would not even know how to Approach that, they are all so huge topics, if you do it i would be pleased, but May god have mercy on you sir, that seams like a bigger undertaking then the clan two parter.

Depending on era, that could be a huge video, and do I mean huge.

THE BLACK PANTS LEGION

Also not trying to be a dick, I joked about it previously, I just firmly believe that the great houses color so much of everything you are talking about. This as of yet has not been touched on, we talked about the clans prior to the houses. I don't think that's a bad thing at all, just I think that Comstar and especially the houses are at least as important if not more. It will be a mammoth task that needs to be split into smaller chunks likely.

Steiner, the great houses haven't been touched on, and they are the touchstone for much of what you are talking about in general. Do one every year or 6 months. You should do the best one first. Steiner.

Have you considered making an Introductory video for the Battletech Universe? I would welcome a short summary on the current state on the state of the galaxy, brief explanation of the Big Houses, Clans, Mercernaries, etc. I think it would useful for those who are not familiar with the franchise.

Andy the Grunt

Second that! #MakeTheHatchetman ;-)

Let's do a Super Heavy Tank! Mars Assault? Or SH Tank history? #pleaseKenBurns-sama

Walt_Man

Give me the Hatchetman! :p

Kell Hounds perhaps? Or maybe a less honorable mercenary company...

freedeau

Shadow Hawk! Give the dougram some love!

Zai

Phoenix Hawk

Bradley D Williams

Personally, I think it would be really cool to hear the story of a few of the notable characters from clan invasion era like Victor Steiner-Davion, Kai Allard Liao, Aiden Pryde or Phellan Kell maybe even Duncan Fisher

Captain Hazelwood

Seconding this; the Irregulars are fun

Charles Fitt

I voted for a historical event: Kentares IV sir, because Warcrimes.

I got it the history of fasa or the history of battletech

So tempting to vote for far country to see if we can stroke out texs

Why not both a faction and a vehicle? Not in the same episode mind you but it’s two things we seem to want to know more about. It would be cool to see some more info on the vehicles and perhaps more people would use them.

I'd love to hear more about Davion. They seem marginally less horrible than some of the other houses

Ironguard

I'd like to know about the first group to face off against the clan. Like when the MadCat was named!!

Laird Stanard

Would love to see a video on my favorite speedybois (Locust of Jenner)

Something on one of the famous units would be great. Though I'm hard pressed to decide if I want to hear you rant about one with a history of stupid decisions, or hear you talk about one you respect.

Would the Marauder one include the Marauder II and or IIC and II C (The space is important apparently)

Dantels

Snord's Irregulars has a fascinating history.

Chris Lewis the Pretzelbear

This is the toughest choice I've had to make all week Vehicle or Faction History. A video on the battlemech origins sounds like a treat, I know the broad lore overview for Mechwarrior but there is so much detail I have yet to dive into and the first true Mech is one of them!

Lawrence Evans

I agree on the famous units. Wolf's Dragoons from their entry into the Inner Sphere. Kell Hounds, Grey Death Legion, Light Horse, etc.

Some ASF units?

Love all of these topics but would most love to hear about Factions/Famous Units

I would love to see a video on Theodore Kurita or House Kurita / Draconis Combine as a whole. They make some pretty awesome mechs like the Dragon and Panther, and more importantly many of the first Omni-Mechs of the Inner Sphere, especially the Black Hawk KU.

OpSihg_Stabr

Medium Mech. My favorite specialty mech in that range . The Trebuchet

I would love to see a video on the most obscure lore you and Mike can find in BattleTech. I think it will be a good idea to remind clanners of Tuukyid on the 20th.

ninjagonepostal

I'd love to see something on a merc unit like Hansen's Roughriders or Eridani Light Horse or the Waco Rangers-Wolf's Dragoons rivalry.

Meg Sumner

Hunchback pls

Personally, I think that going into some of the vehicles that the Sphere started to crank out because 'Mechs were increasingly rare could be interesting. It would highlight the backwards slide of tech in the Succession Wars era.

Face Into Keyboard

Clearly its time for the best tank, the Pike

Edward Franklin Woods

I am looking forward to hearing how the intellectuals at Armoured Warfare decided to throw everything out of the book and even throw a middle finger to the Square Cubed Law itself.

Hugogogogogogogogo

Definitely voting for factions as I’d love your rundown on the history of the houses and the peripheral states and how they all came to be in glorious Tex style detail
