That's nearly certainly NOT the TAG. But the Zeta Unit is one of the only things we know about O-12, along with Multi-Pistols, so of course people are going to talk about it.
hey man, new TAG is hype as F*ck also Operation Wildfire costs about 30 dollars more than battle boxes usually do. I'm hoping its for good reason other than CB wants more money for the same product.
Agree, talk about the Zeta or whatever....I am super excited for O-12 too, but folks saying “is the TAG art posted yet” seem to be ramping up for disappointment most likely. I would love a TAG, but do not see it happening. CB, prove me wrong...I dare you
Meanwhile, Plasma weapons are conspicuously NOT banned by the Concilium Convention! Checkmate, foolish humans!
It doesn't need to be a troop only present in the box, but let's remember the YJ guy with an HMG from Defiance, he was wearing Guijia or Su Jian kinda like trousers. The difference here is that most forbidden weapons are so because either "collateral damage" or "breaks/wipes the Cube". It could be waived for the "collateral damage" kind of weapons for military actions (but not urban ones), but the part about frying cubes... only against the CA, and it goes against good procedure: you want those cubes to interrogate as "prisioners" in airgapped rigs. Point is, CB *already* did the money from those boxes, regardless of their final sale or not. The end result, however, is right. They can inject some resculpts along the way, and avoid... strange things like the Tankhunter blister, but choose to not do so. Yet they make new skins for Aristeia. Not necessarily. We can expect a very "hero centered" army (another one, like the greeks of Hannibal's guys), or a sectorial with some Ghulams, some Wildcats, some Zhuyongs.... Hector smirks :p
PanO army is supposed to be huge while ALEPH/O-12 forces tiny in comparison. The same reason is given to why PanO doesn't use Yudbots, they're more advanced than Palbots, but Palbots are "good enough" for PanO command and so they are on lease to ALEPH instead. Also fun fact: basic Nomad weapons are also on license from a PanO company. The only pure Nomad weapon I remember from the RPG is ADHL (though Yu Jing has made a copy).
