Bored Ape Yacht Club Co-Founder Garga was serving up some hot tips on Tex Mex with a side of spicy HV-MTL Power Source alpha last night in the BAYC Discord.
On Friday, Garga aped into the club’s Discord server and started to talk tortillas with the club.
“Tex Mex is great cause you get extra tortillas with your tortillas,” Garga messaged.
However, the conversation quickly turned spicy as the lingering heat of intrigue regarding the BAYC’s HV-MTL power sources took over the conversation. “New chorizo collection,” Garga jokingly wrote.
This lead HV-MTL Holder, ApexGuy to ask the Garga the question that has been on everyone’s mind around the swamp, “wen HV-MTL?”
“Don’t play games,” ApexGuy wrote. “Wen Metals reveal boss?”
While Garga did not tell the community “wen” the HV-MTL Power Sources would be revealed, he did give the community new details about the computerized collection.
“HV-MTL’s too wild. Insanely complicated collection,” Garga wrote. “it’s like 1K traits and there’s even like two dedicated math geeks assigned. One is PP, you can bully him. I don’t actually know trait number, don’t quote me on that."
As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the BAYC revealed the eight HV-MTL Power Source types on March 29th.
“It’s time to glimpse at the HV-MTL collection,” the BAYC tweeted at the time. “Head over to https://hv-mtl.comfor more on your Power Sources.”
“Undisturbed for centuries, HV-MTL have been summoned abruptly through a rift in space-time (and if they knew how much it had to do with Jimmy’s atomic shit, they’d be impressed)," the BAYC wrote on its HV-MTL Website.“Gary is convinced there’s a cosmic battle on the horizon and needs every HV (pronounced Heavy) to evolve into its final form before it’s too late. But are the HVs new friends — or is there reason to be wary?”
While we do not know if these HV-MTL Mechs are friends or foes, we do know that each type has a unique personality and that holders’ choices will have an impact of them, according to the club.
“Your HV is a unique, dynamic NFT that evolves based on your decisions, so don't fuck this up,” the BAYC wrote. “There are eight different HV-Types and countless different trait combinations. Each has its own skills, personality, and roles, but they're all designed to transform."
Take a look at some of the HV-MTL Mechs that we’ve seen so far:
