What are the names of the past Champions who were turned into pilots? Which mechs do they pilot? I’ve never seen a listing of them.

Thanks.

Thus far, there's only Dean Sohnle, piloting Chikako. There've been some other pilots who are game designers IRL, Kelly being chief among them. Also Trebor Ydek (Robert Kyde), Trovic Nilloba (Victor Bonilla), Toni Rivera (Tony Rivera).

I think Reign O'Broin or whatever is another one based on a real personage.

Or how about Trovic Nilloba's Gyrfalcon (Vic Bonilla)...that's Pre-AoD, but it was base off an anagram of one of the designers at WK.

Don't forget several of the original gold "named" pilot cards for the common pilots. Leslie was one of them.

As far as champs go, only Dean has been awarded that distinction.

What about Dave Rees, the pilot of the Raptor II 'X-Axis'?

wasn't he based off someone working at X-Box Magazine? (the magazine that had the order form for him)
think I remember seeing somewhere he's like... the editor or something

I'm sure there's others... probably more that were pre-AoD (besides Trovic) that we haven't caught yet...

plus there's supposed to be that set of 4 mechs coming out that are based off people who placed highly during Nationals... I think...

Well for that matter might as well The "Vede" Vederman from PC Gaming magazine,but he wasn't a Champion.

I believe he s referring to the 8 new ones
( top 4 of world fellowship and world championship)

MW Worlds

Marc Andre 2x times World Champion Canadian
Ian Pelgrim Netherlands
Tillman Petersen Germany
and an itillean guy his nick is Lord but I forgot his real name.

MW Unrestricted

Zxqueb
and cant recall the names or nicks sorry guys.

Mmmm... Zxqueb made top 4 at Worlds, too. Have they already said that he won't get a second pilot card?

I know one of the top four from the fellowship champions, now if I could just squeeze some info you of his tiny little mind. I mean...yeah I mean that.

i doubt unrestricted is getting any (so still one Zxqueb then) just world championship and worlds fellows (but i could be wrong)

You are wrong.

Worlds get 4 and Worlds unrestricted get 4.

Zxqueb is in the unrestricted lance it is hy he is not included in the worlds lance as he was 4th then.

Also Zxqueb confirmed he is getting his card.

ah see i was wrong =) (see it happens lol)
so the 4th in the champs list is actually nbr5 ?
still im curious to see what mechs and pilot abilities they will get.

And now you are correct Lord V or something was 5th but got in the lance as Zxqueb was already in the unrestricted lance.
