This month's spotlight review focuses on the Blackjack, a 45 ton 'Mech making its debut later this month. When the Blackjack was first announced way back in November, it came as a bit of a surprise. The Blackjack has never been a famous design like some of the other medium 'Mechs such as the Hunchback or Centurion. Nevertheless, the redesign work done by Alex “Flying Debris” Iglesias has definitely piqued the interest many MechWarriors. We haven't learned any of the hard stats about the 'Mech yet, but we can certainly look to the canon models to get an idea of what to expect and have some fun taking wild guesses at what we might see. Before that though, allow me to give an overview of the history of the design up to the current year of 3050.
