One thing I appreciate you doing is showing how it's a combined arms operation. Recon by drone, command support, vehicles. It's often over looked so it thrilled me to see it.
Without the smaller stuff the big stuff like mechs doesn't seem so big. It's great to see the little dudes and the support, kinda like gundam 8th ms team
Hey man awesome work! I have watched your stuff since the old dayz times. Being apart of the BPL its amazing to see this cross over. Keep up the awesome work!
Sure didn’t want that... it would be literally call of duty, if it was this much like a cutscene. But yeah, this and another animation, as well as the prints of the PGI models have been the only good things to come out of PGIs use of the franchise! ruclips.net/video/Y5ezgEzpQBg/видео.html

@@ShawnEnge Okay, sure - but those sleek helmets kinda clash with the overall aesthetics of the universe. In my opinion, somewhat slimming down the original helmets, the way it was done in the modern Battletech games, would've been the best solution. (Also, the helmets of the ground troops appear to be simply modern FAST helmets, which is even more jarring)
I'm going to shill hard because I think it's worth it: The more you give on Patreon, the longer the episodes, the more crazy the battles/skirmishes, etc. Great work TMC crew!
Battletech is rising again. We all were waiting for this, and you guys are creating a footprint. I watched nearly all of the existing lore videos, fanfiction and stories and me and my group are about to go online with our own Battletech RPG content. Let's do this, let's put it out there. Let's awake this awesome universe from slumber! Thank you, and thanks to the Blackpants Legion, Critical Rocket, MageLeader and all the other content creators, artists, authors, and fans who all share the same love for this.

Less than two years ago I didn't even know what battletech was. Now here I am, Hyped for a three minute fan video about mech combat. I don't know what happened, but i'm glad it did.
I remember battletech from my childhood... Other older kid's played the games and had some figures, but I was too young then to get it. Now I'm playing MWO, looking into the tabletop RPG's and consider buying some minis of my own as a 30+ year old... And that's thanks to Baradul, Tex, TTB, the B33f and other youtube content creators. : )
@@Anarchistbanana Same story here. Watched it from afar for about 20 years (since someone had told me, it might be for me) but the lore and the games just seemed so huge and complex. Then I started watching Tex and now I'm hooked on the setting, reading novels and soaking up everything I can get.
@@Anarchistbanana I remember it too ... from the books. Have yet to play a game which comes close to recreating the feeling and the designs. Yeah they copy the designs from books but they manage to fuck it up and hide the main parts of the design in the indistinguishable lack of 3D on our screens..
Yeah. This is so friggin' great! I just got back into BT after a long hiatus and this animation just gets me excited to play some more. Great work to the team involved! Thanks for putting it out here for all of us BT fans to watch! Can't wait to see the next one!
Throughout the whole episode, I just kept thinking "its about time". "OOh thats cool... about damn time!" "That was awesome!! 'bout time!" Battletech is WAAAY too lacking in good animation. Its about time we got something cool to watch! SHEESH. -I subbed. -I liked. -I'm donating.
@@streigerdesign3178 Astartes is better in all non voice aspects so I think it just beats this. Which means this is only super awesome rather than mindblowingawesome.
TMC,... that was... astonishing masterpiece of work. In many years I haven't seen anything like it in my beloved BT Universe! The overall atmosphere, quality, caring about details (even the smallest ones) and especially all those 230 tons of steel walking and shooting. I'm eager to translate it all to russian and spread the word among my fellow mechwarriors everywhere I can, if you don't mind. Looking forward to future episodes. Thank you all!
@@WatchTMC That's the least I can undertake. When I'm done with translation and the literary part, you'll get the texts first hand. If there's anything else to do with translating (although my English is a bit rusty and German's a total mess), just let me know. And I believe I'll need a link or an email (or something else you see fit) where to upload or send the results in your way.
@@WatchTMC Ok, all done for this Episode. Looks good if you ask me) Hope everyone enjoys the result and the russian part of the community will have a little convenient advantage ^_^
The attention to detail in projects like this just blow me away. From the initial pilot episode with the leopard switching from Ion thrust to Chemical when entering atmosphere, see the mech absorb the landing impact and transfer of motion. Just pure visual sex.
make sure to check out Tex (Black pants legion) video series "tex talks battletech" and the battletech Hair Brain Schemes game (there are some massive mods for it :)) ). MWO is an option but i never got into it and if you really want to get into the details of the lore the novels are also worthy of a look.
I also like gusty recommend "Tex talks battletech" I also recommend if you can find it, the should be free ware mechwarrior 4 mercenaries game if it can run on win 10, as i do not know if it does. It's the last game with a full story before mechwarrior 5 and is basically the series at it's best. Mechwarrior Online i recommend if you enjoy mechwarrior 4 mercs but want to play around more with the mechs and other mech fans. If you're big into reading the universe has a good number of novels but i cannot readily remember one I'd Recommend for a new fan outright as many are kind of steeped in familiarity with the series. However i would recommend Sarna.net as it's an amazing fan wiki.
@@KenshiImmortalWolf Thx dude, ikinda look them. Mwo is a bit old i know and im too late for it? But mw5 and especially Battletech is good. İ hope Battletech 2 will release someday...
@@Battal_Gazi MWO is a bit old but it stll has a fairly active user base. Plus it's free to start so it's never to late to really get into it. I would say Battletech 2 will come at some point but with their parent company becoming paradox it may be a bit longer, as much as i enjoy paradox's strategy games they can be a bit, weird, about games and dlcs.
Wow, well done! This is a high quality production, and you've added some great extra details to the PGI assets as well as creating a number of your own. I also really appreciate that you were able to get some RUclipsrs and Streamers from the BattleTech/MechWarrior community to contribute with the voice acting. Tex makes a great lance commander! And I haven't really seen much of SideStrafe since he did the comms wheel voice acting for MWO. I guess my only complaint is that it's a short episode, because it feels like a teaser. That said, I know these take a lot of time to animate and render. I can't wait to see them take on the Thunderbolt and whatever else is waiting for them at Target Alpha.
Just...... wow..... I love mechwarrior, and this is one of the best cutscenes I have seen. And also the voice acting is amazing and really professionell. Keep it up !
Did I see that correct? You got Tex of the BPL to do some of the voice acting? Awesome! Also varry cool and good job to every one involved, it is quite the polished product!
Alright, that's some seriously cool shit. Movements have weight, animations are smooth, and all the little details show the amount of care and attention put into this. The Rifleman legging the Locust beautifully done, and everything I've ever wanted from BT animations. Can't wait to see more of this! Also, obligatory "Tex sent me."
this production is incredible, i am fully impressed, i love battletech and I have had some time working with cgi, this is a breathtaking bit of work here, from the foley and music artists as well.... Please continue this work...
Literally the best BattleTech/MechWarrior has ever looked. I would pay to watch an entire movie like this! Well done! Tex’s voice is like butter as always.
So cool and yet another cameo by the man himself Tex of the BPL. Thank you for this awesome creation I will definitely be looking for future episodes...
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija Only found 3 so far: the missile lock-on sound from MW3, the UI of the first Mech Commander and the Shadow Hawk landing being a nod to the MW2 Ghost Bear Legacy intro. I'm not that deep into BT lore, so I'm sure I'm missing a lot more.
Absolutely stunning. I loved your intro video a while back and this is even better. Fantastic amount of work and effort. I wish I had the money to fund your team full time, I really do because I would do it in a heartbeat. Can't wait for the next installment whenever that may be.
Grin, Locust pilots want all their incoming fire from long range, if they can help it! Makes dodging shots easier! I give props to that Locust pilot, he did the same thing I did 20 years ago after my Mad -3R lost a leg.
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija Hahaha it's a middle finger. Also there is no top and he's gonna get coffee spilled all over the cockpit. Unless it's some kind of high-tech, jiggle-proof cup holder that always stays upright.
For anyone who may be wondering, The Loadouts based on my calculations and observations are as Follows Hunchback: 4 Mediums lasers, one in each arm and two with the autocannon, and AC-10, and two machine guns. Rifleman: Two Medium Lasers, an Ultra AC-5, and a Gauss Rifle. Shadow Hawk: Two Medium Lasers, an Ultra AC-5, and two SRM-6s Catapult -Not enough seen to determine, may be a Stock C1.
I presume grandpa was in the catapult and complaining to wipe amaris's ass "AAAHHH, commander, 'ave I told ya about the taco tuesday incident? The mech stunk for ages!"
Good stuff, Wise move getting Tex in on this. Bring in people who are passionate about the subject matter and you’ll see that echo in their voice work. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Elias Toufexis did a decent enough job, but he's only got a few lines as the guy sponsoring you/bailing your butt out after your dad gets merced. The rest is... eehhhhhh... But yeah, Piranha really should hire Tex and these guys. IS or Clan, I would love to pilot someone voiced by him.

I'm probably going to watch this 100 more times.
Ditto
Must comment for the visibility. This is the most badass thing I have seen since Astartes
WE NEED MORE OF THIS! EXCELLENT VOICE WORK TEX!
Thanks bud
This will be a glorious series! Spread it far and wide!
Heck yeah! Great work and I hope you can keep putting this stuff out! THIS is what the IP has been wanting for decades!
This is the mech show I have literally been waiting all my life for.
Episode one and i am hooked AND subscribed, eagerly awaiting the next episode.
Can't wait to see that Thunderbolt in action! Thunderbolts are AWESOME! (no pun intended)
This is jaw dropping I hope this blows up.
games work shop:fan base bad no, no machinima.
Battletech: mechs go brrr
Really Impressed. Great animation, story, and voice work!
this production is incredible, i am fully impressed, i love battletech and I have had some time working with cgi, this is a breathtaking bit of work here, from the foley and music artists as well.... Please continue this work...
That was amazing....the work, energy and effort that must have gone into making that. Damn it was good.
Add my voice as a positive to this. Great job guys!
Literally the best BattleTech/MechWarrior has ever looked. I would pay to watch an entire movie like this! Well done! Tex’s voice is like butter as always.
You deserve a goddamn recommendation.
Even though that hunchback missed, I still clicked "Like" and "Subscribe".
So cool and yet another cameo by the man himself Tex of the BPL.
Thank you for this awesome creation I will definitely be looking for future episodes...
This is gorgeous. Absolutely and utterly gorgeous, I'd give you three thumbs up if I had them.
Oh and Tex sent me.
Ok, I admit, I wasn't into it at first, but then the mech started moving and I was totally entranced. Subbing for this. Time for episode 2.
That was pretty damn slick. Look forward to seeing more.
Also obligatory tex sent me :D
Excellent animation, and solid voice acting. Love the work that you guys put into this episode!
I'm too much in awe to compliment specific things. I'll do so later, when I managed to close my mouth again ;)
Please rewatch it and try to spot all the extra details which were put in there by TMC. Your mounth will never close after finding them all XD
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija its easter isn't it, search the eggs
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija Only found 3 so far: the missile lock-on sound from MW3, the UI of the first Mech Commander and the Shadow Hawk landing being a nod to the MW2 Ghost Bear Legacy intro. I'm not that deep into BT lore, so I'm sure I'm missing a lot more.
The attention to detail is excellent here, like the opening salvo from the Hunchback quite clearly trashing the antennae on the Locust.
This feels exactly how it would be to play Merctech in MW5 if co-op could work.
Absolutely stunning. I loved your intro video a while back and this is even better.
Fantastic amount of work and effort.
I wish I had the money to fund your team full time, I really do because I would do it in a heartbeat.
Can't wait for the next installment whenever that may be.
aw I was hoping the Locust would give the lance a big runaround
Probably would have if it was maintained properly!
@@familyreynolds9323 I blame Dave
@@Starwolfe Dammit Dave!
Grin, Locust pilots want all their incoming fire from long range, if they can help it! Makes dodging shots easier! I give props to that Locust pilot, he did the same thing I did 20 years ago after my Mad -3R lost a leg.
This is amazing. We need a series or movies of this already. Its badass what you can do
"You're asking a lot from an old guy."
"You have to shoot them in the back like one of them Tiger Tanks"
"🎵That's what you get for being a turret 🎵"
Holy shit!!!! This is going to be an awesome series
Do the coffee mugs have a top that prevents spillage? Or is that just his 'lucky mug' ?
Take a closer look at the imprint on the mug ;)
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija Hahaha it's a middle finger. Also there is no top and he's gonna get coffee spilled all over the cockpit. Unless it's some kind of high-tech, jiggle-proof cup holder that always stays upright.
@@cocokolah8567 look closer ...there is also the gravitation formula on the mug. Combine this with your previous finding and you will get your answer
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija I can't read it, the text is too tiny and faint
@@SaschaCharlieDjuderija It's funny
For anyone who may be wondering, The Loadouts based on my calculations and observations are as Follows
Hunchback: 4 Mediums lasers, one in each arm and two with the autocannon, and AC-10, and two machine guns.
Rifleman: Two Medium Lasers, an Ultra AC-5, and a Gauss Rifle.
Shadow Hawk: Two Medium Lasers, an Ultra AC-5, and two SRM-6s
Catapult -Not enough seen to determine, may be a Stock C1.
Well not entirely correct, but rest assured that TMC might release soon enough some TRO record sheets of Eques lance.
Netflix should pick this up and fund a full series - so much lore, drama and awesome action scenes they could use.
The Expanse crossed with Game of Thrones with giant shooty robots, why WOULDN'T anyone want to watch that
It's AWESOME - but it's EVEN MORE SO because they cast Tex from the BPL as a voice actor!
I presume grandpa was in the catapult and complaining to wipe amaris's ass
"AAAHHH, commander, 'ave I told ya about the taco tuesday incident? The mech stunk for ages!"
Fantastic....no other word for it, just outstanding.
almost giddy for some dfa
That's what I thought it was gonna be too (even if that's a lot of tactical risk for low reward given the situation).
Good stuff, Wise move getting Tex in on this. Bring in people who are passionate about the subject matter and you’ll see that echo in their voice work. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
Heavy breathing...
Freaking amazing! Well done commander! o7
The work that went in to this just for a few short minutes. Outstanding
Довольно круто :-)
Такое себе,на коленке (((
Amazing work. Can’t wait for episode 2
This is what MW5 voice acting should have been... God I hate MW5 voice acting...
I think they heard you....aff?
@@seanbrazell7095 Aff :)
Elias Toufexis did a decent enough job, but he's only got a few lines as the guy sponsoring you/bailing your butt out after your dad gets merced. The rest is... eehhhhhh...
But yeah, Piranha really should hire Tex and these guys. IS or Clan, I would love to pilot someone voiced by him.
best mech animation since the opening cinematic of Mech Commander and Heavy Gear.
