Yeah, I already upped my pledge to $300, all that redesigned goodness in plastic AND I get to make one of my characters canon? Oh yes.
Now it's just a matter of which. I have 2 characters that have been the pilots in every game I've played over the last 20+ years (in my own head, at least). One is the mercenary commander for all my succession wars games, and the other is my old high school Mecwarrior RPG character that joins/leads the same small mercenary company for any 3050+ games.
