Probably should have a Liao emblem on the side seeing as Davion already has it's tag on a number of mechs already, but none the less an impressive redesign. Though a frontal pic would be much desired as it looks way too thin.

I've been waiting 10 years for this, and it seems it was worth the wait !!

I like the consistency too. To be honest, the only two I'm not keen on are the Jenner and the Dragon. It's just the basic design of the mech I don't really like even though I do think the redesign is an improvement. The Raven redesign, on the other hand, is really nice but I can't stand the old designs. They just look wrong.

Really! I thought the Jenner design was pretty straight-forward, as was the Dragon... Really, I thought the Dragon looked like a tough customer, compared to the old fatbody that in was in MW2: Mercs...

The one I balked at was the Centurion, where I thought the waist was too narrow, and the limbs looked out of proportion to the torso. It's grown on me since then and I think part of that initial perception was the concept art view angle, which makes the armor plates on the arms create an impression of exaggerated breadth, and the finished product isn't going to be quite so much of a gorilla!

The only issue I see with the Raven is that its torso is a little too small - I want a bigger target!

looks good now wheres my locust

I just found my starting mech =O. Love the look of it, the standard armaments arent too bad, should be a nice mount to serve as practice while learning the game mechanics.

The raven is beautiful.

[Valkyrie Onyx]

awesome mech but it looks bigger than the Raven i remember.

I think this rounds out the lights for those of us that will get a crack at open beta or closed beta, whatever you call it. How many more months till the shooting starts?

[Chatanith Raeven]

I you Raven! I do however, have a soft spot for the old design. But alas, I shall rape the heck out of dirty clanners with it.

[pcunite]

Love the artwork! Looks like the original trailer.

I'm waiting for the Hellspawn to come out...

...but until then...

...THIS IS THE ULTIMATE 'MECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Paper thin Armor? Nahhh, wasn't a fan of the Hellspan, would much rather get an Uziel, Conjurer, hell even a Chimera.

[Hidran]

before I didn't think much of it, but now that I think about it it is so much more diffucult to deal with than the osiris. The best counter for this would be a nice fast cougar with standard loadout.

Are u serious? A Raven with Gay-French-Dressing Davion colours drawn over the default Liao ones???
Men who is ur artdirector? Was he drunk when creating this pic? I ask because my writing indicates that I am too.

This is a prime example of why you don't drink and post, people!

Or you can stick with the catapult - I'm going to need someone to spot for, after all.

[TheTeacher]

I have to say that all the designs to date have not done much for me. The reinterpretations seemed less like Battletech and more like Armored Core…or some other anime.

This one, however, really hits the Battletech feel for me. Two thumbs up!

I like the 'Mech but not the art that doesn't look right at all

This to me is what a raven should look like (a bird!)




Can the person who created the mechs (all of them) please look at this site for inspiration -

and not this one -

Gonzo agrees


I disagree with him unfortunately.
