And even aside from that, it featured giant robots and the explanation of the flying swords from the Issue 19 trailer -- both things that turned out to be even more awesome than I had dared to hope.
Oh yes.

Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider
Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.

Ok, that article has me all kinds of psyched for it, now...
Let me get that slot on Alpha, and bring on the robotic paintrain...not Clockwork; Me.

That article makes me extremely leery if their idea of new and awesome is "yet more asinine scripted powers that laugh at connectivity and/or reaction time because we're such ******** we can't design stuff that's interesting without this kind of nonsense." Now I'm glad I skipped the beta.

Well, the alternative is: "asinine coded powers that laugh at teams that lack a certain makeup or temp powers because we're such ******** we can't design stuff that's challenging without using cheaply high numbers."

Though I am saddened that we apparently won't be able to Mega Man some of the new powers of the NPCs.
My scrapper would kill for the dancing sword power.
