I have taken a look at the model and the preview vid of the Shadow Cat running. Why is it that the cockpit area and the vents on the L and R torsos are flattened? The concept art looked great. I am confused at why that change was made and it makes the mech not look very good at all. I am still excited about it and the Arctic Cheetah coming out on the 21st of this month and just wanted to start a forum post so we can all discuss this.

*puts on space trucker hat* This here is a peterbuilt, not a battlemech.

Concept art looks like an attack chopper with no tail or main rotor and arms and legs... Actual model looks like a flat faced semi truck

Maybe it ran against a wall with full speed while MASC was active

Thats really a bad joke for everybody who preordered the first presented Design. No more preorder for me,only will buy next packs when i see the final Design no matter how many Cokpit items, moduls or other goodies. Just want to become exactly that Design that i saw as i clicked buy

Personally, I like the idea that the cockpit is shorter than originally shown. Looks like it would be a lot easier to shield your torso with the left arm because of it.

That is true but I was excited about the Shadow Cat because of the mean look cause im shallow
The Arctic Cheetah looks super hot though

I'm just happy they finally put my all-time favorite mech in the game.

Even if it doesn't look right.. And they chose the the best version and the 3 worst versions to bring in.

I think it's fine. The arms will shield the center torso better, so even tho aesthetically it's not as cool, functionally it will make the mech better IMO.

10-4 there good buddy. lol

[Fenrisian Wolf]

I saw some of the new previews of the Shadow Cat and it must have been the angle or something cause those lines from the concept art are there and it looks hot

Ah think it looks purty.
