The limited edition PROJECT PHOENIX BattleMechs:

· Shadow Hawk The Shadow Hawk is a versatile and quick medium 'Mech at 55 tons, arguably most famous for its use by Grayson Death Carlyle of the Gray Death Legion. It was first built by Lang Industries in 2457 during the so-called Golden Age of BattleMech creation.
· Thunderbolt The Thunderbolt is an eclectically armed heavy 'Mech weighing in at a whopping 65 tons and was originally designed as a heavier 'Mech by Earthwerks Incorporated in 2491.

With an adaptable weapons platform this 'Mech has been used in virtually every role and on hundreds of battlefields, including the Battle of Coventry by Wayne Waco, commander of the Waco Rangers and according to some, a pilot prodigy.
Fans who pre-order any of the PROJECT PHOENIX packages in the first 30 days of availability (June 25th to July 24th) will receive an Early Bird Bonus of 30 days Premium time! As a special reward for the loyal Founders of MechWarrior Online, Founders who partake in this special pre-order program will additionally receive their exclusive Founders Icon as a cosmetic Hanging Item to decorate their 'Mech cockpit.
