Barrelz are nice and all, but the reason the mech needed resizing is that it was decidedly too large. where are the comparisons?

Looks cool but hard to tell how big it is compared to the old size.

[Cion]

it's a remodel and resize. You can tell the proportion changes. We know it's roughly...30%? smaller?
I would think the barrelz give you a sense of size. Barrelz look a lot bigger hence the mech is smaller.

But I'm sure someone in the community can get a screenshot of a current Cat on the same position as one of these shots.

Finally...barrels look damn big compared to the chassis. Can't wait to dust off a bunch of unused mechs after it all goes through.

also new Hero?

As far i know only the K2 have 2x Ballistics in torsos, but it lacks the Dual AMS option (it's Death jester only)

For the look of it it have 2x Energy (1 on each arm) 2x Ballistic (1x ST) and 2-4 Energy hardpoints for ST and CT?

so just curious if is a mockup build or a whole new variant.

Couldn't put it next to another 'Mech just yet, don't want to scare you with the size changes! Many 'Mechs are currently in WIP for re-scale so we have to wait for those to be done before we can show you the comparisons in size.

[Alistair Winter]

That... that is a K2 with a beak.

That's a K2 with a beak.

THAT IS A K2... WITH A BEAK!

IT's A K2! WITH A BEAK! A K2 WITH A BEAK! A K2 WITH A BEAK! BEAK! ON A K2!

THAT CPLT-K2 HAS A FRICKIN BEAK!

[Y E O N N E]

Holy crap, if the AC barrels stay there on the K2...

Well, sorry Firebrand. Looks like you are out of a job.

I see. Thanks.

[ScarecrowES]

Might just be my opinion here, but I think they went the wrong way on the PPC barrel resize. I think we were looking for more length, not girth - if you'll pardon the phrasing. They look even more out-of-proportion than they used to.

Otherwise, well done.

I assume the beak is just part of the variable geometry that will be exclusive to the founders' variant?

[Felicitatem Parco]

The raised ballistic hardpoint kind of makes up for the fact that the K2 has 2 fewer hardpoints than it is supposed to have

All JagerMechs have 8 hardpoints, no JJs.
All other Catapults have 6 hardpoints plus Jumpjets.

K2 has 6 hardpoints, no JJs.

It is defificnet by 2 hardpoints, this cannot be argued against. Compare it to the hardpoints of a Firebrand if you need further information.

Looks OK - but where are the other variants and the remodel on the (hopefully VCR free) ears?

[Macksheen]

Dual AMS?

[cazidin]

You know, we actually can judge its new size because of those screenshots if somebody wants to put in a LOT of effort! See that big rock in the second picture?

Hey Tina, I'm terrified to ask, but could you comment on the pointy beak?

Is this just a demo-model showing all the different existing geometries for all weapons, Jester AMS and the Founder Catapult, not counting missile launchers? Or does this actually mean there will be other Catapults with a beak in the future? Cosmetic custom geometry purchased for MC? What's going on?

[Funky Bacon]

Dunno how to feel about the beak. Kinda hope it stays as a Founder Variant exclusive thing tbh.

I think the beak is the only thing differentiating the Founders' Catapult from the rest. How PO'd would Founders be if their version of the mech didn't even have unique geo anymore?

Can't say I'd care.
