why there is no Supernova mech?

[Lord Dralisz]

I'm really sad they left out my favourite clan mech from the game....

[Harukage]

Because it is not an Omnimech? Bettlemechs only saw service in frontline units since 3052.

They kept it out along with all the other Clan mechs to put into DLC.

More because they are following the TRO from 3050, and the mechs you get are the mechs that they had. They swapped out the Firemoth for the Arctic Cheetah and ditched the Ice Ferret in favor of the Shadow Cat. Other than that though, these are the mechs that the Clans used as the tip of the spear.

More like the other clan mechs didnt serve in the invasion during this time period, but go off

It's there but you can't see it.
They call it the unseen..
Just like did you ever see a single elemental in the game?

I really do think the IIC mechs will come as a DLC and included will be the Bane mech. It is coming to MWO this month and was only probably ported due to its inclusion on MW5 Clans at some stage is my guess.

i mean, they never let assets just go for one game. like when we finally got the last remaining macross/ robotech destroid, what we call a longbow here, it was released both in MW5M and in MWO.

the only real exception to this have been clan mechs, because MW5M was set before the clans invaded.

Yes i saw 1

[Bumble]

There were 2 cutscenes with Elementals that I can remember

It's a shae that there werent any in missions, even as scripted events would have been awesome

The Supernova wasn't invented yet. It's my favourite Clan mech too.

[Shin]

The Supernova was invented before the Nova.

but it's still a second line battlemech, and not a frontline omnimech.

i'd expect the supernova in a hypothetical DLC that would add IIc and other clan battlemechs, as we'd need something of a mechlab overhaul to set them up.

I know, I was only correcting the guy above my reply.

The unseen are the mechs that were pretty much straight ripoffs of the designs in the anime robotech. The copyright owner sued FASA and those mechs went out of production and were removed from the TRO books for years until those mechs were eventually redesigned to be similar to but legally different from the original designs. This includes the rifleman, warhammer, longbow, marauder, and pheonixhawk LAM just off the top of my head.

Supernova was introduced in 2846, so a little over 200 years before the clan invasion. It wasn't included in the assault forces because it was considered a 2nd line mech due to the mech having no weapons other than 6x ERLLas and a SEVERE overheating problem. Eventually variants would get created that would somewhat mitigate these issues, but that wouldnt occur until AFTER operation Bulldog due to the shortages of frontline omnimechs. The clan homeworlds simply didnt have anything like the resources nor the manufacturing capacity to make good on all the losses the clans had endured between 3050-3057, so 2nd line mechs would be pressed into frontline service, which is when you get IIC's and such showing up in frontline combat.
