Hey guys wanted to post a poll with suggested changes to the marauder design from the community.

Keep in mind that PGI does need to keep the designs distinct enough from the Original to avoid law suits.

Various Reference Materials:

Reduced Size of ST Exhaust (FireBlood) + Cockpit redesign (zagibu) + no other changes.

Otherwise, original PGI design.

Then don't release it at all . Right now it looks like Flea and Cataphract got a 75 ton baby.

I like B without removing the sholderpads.
This poll has too many options. Maybe a small poll per item to be changed would be a different way of doing it?

Yeah it looks good with the shoulder pads too




I took it out cuz i thought the arm/shoudler design looked too much like king crab's. Plus shoulder pads were never a part of any previous Marauder Designs

But less so with the final version

Hm... personally I'm not a fan of the squarer arms, I can see why you're trying to go for a more MWO style design but IMO it just makes it look like it has massive blocks for arms more like the King Crab's. And I think the sleeker look (which I don't think is actually going to look that round in 3D form) will better suit the original design.

That said I do like the other cockpits... I mean, I don't mind the original's either, but D is certainly more Marauder like. I'd be concerned it looks just a liiiiiiiiittle too much like the original though.

[Tarogato]

Meh. None of these suggestion fix what I don't like about the model.

- cannon in the RT is too far off to the side and too low
- torso too much resembles the ugly reseen art, I can't seeing it lending well to hitboxes either.

[Juodas Varnas]

I'm fine with the PGI's original design.
I think it looks pretty good.

[zagibu]

D looks the best, but you couldn't see anything out of that cockpit window. Also it might be a bit too close to the original for comfort.

[Hawk819]

I'm all for Option A. I like it just the way it is. Now for the War Whammy! Please!

[Kalimaster]

I would be very worried about this one. Harmony Gold is getting even bolder, including going after Hazbro for producing a G.I. Joe and Transformers cross over. Not worth getting MWO sued or shut down by some court as the suit is settled.

Indeed - Option D is just trying to turn the Marauder back into a Glaug, which would be a fantastically ill-advised move on PGI's part to implement.

D has no Law Problems ...the Unseen FASA cockpit is not from Macross(Eye-Cockpit)

This Cockpit is the Original Cockpit from macross

[Gallowglas]

I'm fine with Alex's redesign, but I do like the modified cockpit in D, whether or not it's a practical design.

[jay35]

I like A and B but since A has more votes so far, I'm voting A also to ensure it's not C or D which I don't care for. =\

[Suko]

It's a small thing, but I'd like to see the antennas relocated to the right side of the cockpit instead of on the top and center of the mech.

[Ialdabaoth]

I think C should be the 'default' Marauder, and A should be the Bounty Hunter's custom geometry.

[Lily from animove]

A with the B exhaust.
