You asked for this. We did it. This is the Urbanmech Remaster/Redux/Director's cut. Thank you all for your kind support and help in making this happen.

DISCLAIMER:TEX TALKS BATTLETECH is a fan-based parody/attempt at education for a setting that deserves much love. Battletech, Mechwarrior, and all other material are owned by CGL, Topps, Tornante, PGI, etc. No challenge to their ownership status is being made or intended by the creation of this work. Battletech is owned by the company, but the fanbase is what keeps it alive.

TL;DR: this is the opinion of one guy who loves a setting, and is dead-set on bringing it to everyone who cares to hear about it.

Reminder: The nuclear-armed Urbanmech IS real, IS canon, and CAN hurt you.

12:23 The Urbies tried to hold the line. It was not the Black Watch, not the Gunslingers, not any of the Royal regiments in the end, it was the humble Urbanmechs that tried to hold while the Star League burned around them.

Or in other words, “the Black Watch broke before the Urbies did!”

“Finish this on a budget”

…presents the most 3D animated episode yet.

[anthonyfarmer]

When you need a mech incapable of speeding in a school zone, you want an Urban mech.

[swumprat]

Dear BPL. Whoever came up with "Cry havoc and let slip the Arrow IV." Thank you. That was brilliant.

There was a moment with an urban mech I’ll never forget. It was at my local game store and some new guy popped in to check out the store and see if anyone wanted to play a game of battle tech. One of our BT regulars was in and accepted the offer for a game. Now, the regular loves doing silly lance builds, but he’ll always add in “Lucky Stubbie”, an urban mech with an ac/20 and a tag. No small laser, just a cannon and a tag. This mech has never gotten a kill, but always survived with zero weapon systems left. The new guy brought a beginner box lance, saying that it’s decent, but he’ll bring in the rest next time he’s in. Games going on, I go to grab something to eat, thinking it’ll be a while before they get to the end. Five minutes later, I come back to nothing but howling laughter and the new guy trying desperately to keep the game going through barely recognizable English mixed with with wheezing. I had just walked in on Lucky Stubbie headshotting an Awesome and blowing its head off. The only thing I could understand was “trash can with a shotgun grows tired of your bullshit.”

I love that a guy in an Urbie pulled a bank heist in Davion space, and the Davions are just left going ".... HOW IN THE FUCK DID HE DO IT?!"

[fiberwaffle]

Look, I've witnessed an Urbie pilot stride across an open square while taking pop shots at a Kodiak to lure him and his friends out to play while a heavy lance waited around the corner scared to push. It was something special.

[dogofwar]

The 3D scene of an urbie factory was just breath taking.

[UrbanmechAce]

"Isolated Urbanmech units, bravely attempting to hold while the world burned around them." That is the most moving thing I think you've ever said about the Urbie. I almost have a tear in my eye.

[redenginner]

One of the greatest feats of the Trash-Can is that it was responsible for Nuking the Kell Hounds, and was canonized on the spot by one of the game’s writers due to the event it was introduced in being a canonical variant only event as it was too awesome of a kitbash.

[Geeko]

Our local Battletech group has an Urbie Derby once a quarter, and the last one have 14 players in a single map sheet having a mass free for all. It was great.

[Insanemage]

Tex said we were in for a special treat. He appears to have been right once again.

[tv_tim]

That ending animation during the beginning of the credits was amazing. Hats off to the artist, that was awesome.

[bturn]

The Urbanmech really seems like the setting's punching bag when it's used wrong, and something you underestimate at your peril when it's in it's natural habitat.

[Endilbiach]

Today was one of the roughest Christmas's of my life. My 4 year old is very sick and I'm desperately trying to find a job, I spent most of the day on the verge of breaking down. And then, I saw that there was a new Tex Talks Battletech.

And it was the Return of the Urbanmech.

I almost cried from happiness. Thank you so much for bringing light to an otherwise very rough day.

[ungooy]

Unlike most other mechs, a glorious last stand is just another Tuesday for the Urbanmech.

[shaneflickinger]

Wow, hats off to whoever made that Urbie factory scene. That was incredible!

[swamp_croc]

The Trash Can taking out the trash. Also, Ringo retiring to Canops with cat girls serving him lobster is the kind of content I come here for.
