Rest assured, my remark was made as a jest. Of course a warmachine left abandoned for twenty years wouldn't work perfectly. Hell, if it's in any kind of fighting condition at all, it'd be actually quite impressive.
Gipsy has the advantage of being a fairly balanced Jaeger. Agile, strong, tough, guns, blades, all of it.
I actually think it would be fun if, if/when we get allies, instead of just other Jaegers, they get one or both (depending on the number of allies) of the other Starter Mech choices.
I mean, Big O, Gipsy Danger, and Eva Unit-02, fighting side-by-side-by-side?
Don't tell me you guys don't think that would be awesome.
