All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsOfficial site reveals Hog/Chopper gallery

Some of that live hit the official World of Warcraft website recently with a huge gallery of Hog/Chopper screenshots, from both factions. My favorite out of them all is the one I used above, because what's more awesome than Tauren in Lumberjack shirts and silly hats? Not much.
We also posted a little, much smaller gallery of our own quite awhile ago, you may remember. We took the screenshots in the gallery below during the Wrath beta when the motorcycle still had some pretty funny graphical glitches, so check that out too, if the official gallery isn't enough hog for you.

"Hey Jethro, you think we gonna be raiding that uh...um...whatcha callit?"
"Obsidum Sactimonius or summin like that ."
"Naw. Let's go fer a ride on the hog and harass sum a dem stupid Ally." *drunken chuckle*
I just imagine that dialogue there. Can you use /dance while in the sidecar?

'nuff said.

Psh, you just don't know Jethro. He -is- a hardcore raider, and he WILL do raidin' while watchin' cowboys and spammin' Arcane Missiles! Yee-haaw!

Hmmm - where's the lumberjack shirt from? It's so bad it's good....

The patterns for them seem to be BoP world drops at first glance. My tailor has a few of them, even got one in Naxx.

I love the hog best mount in WoW and worth the gold and time. The best part about them is BGs, I love saying "come with me if you want to live" then having a warrior jump in and running to stables and fuckin shit up!

I ground daily quests for three weeks to afford my chopper. It was worth it. I dual box, so it's the perfect mount--no more twiddling with follow mode.
I believe we'll be grounded for at least several levels in the next expansion. Gear will quickly be obsolete, but the luxury mounts like the chopper or mammoth will be immediately useful.

Not a bad gallery, however the pop-up ad for Dana Buchman that blocks the image after 5 seconds is very annoying.

Aw shit, I wanna buy a big ol' 70's van just to get that airbrushed on the side of it.

I swear, when I first heard about the choppers, I was skeptical - I know Warcraft has always had some minor steampunk elements, but this just seemed like going too far.
Then, I saw one in-game. This made me realize that not only did I need one, my entire guild needed them, so we can become a biker gang, head to Crossroads, and kill all the kodo-sellers. We're called "Kodo Liberation Front" for a reason.
Unfortunately, we also entirely lack engineers. Eh heh heh.

My only gripe with the airplanes/helicopters/motorcycles is that they all look like they were cobbled together in an Alabama front yard.
If we must have them, they should at least be beautiful and intricate - bordering on magical. The smoke-belching crap we've been handed is simply awful.

dang kids and their choppers...Get Off My Lawn!!!!
