Top one looks WAAAAY better. Bottom one looks too.....Japanese mecha-ish

The longbow should based of the Viking, as it is just a lighter immitation. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Viking

But the top one is copy-pasted from the Japanese Mecha show.

Naw dude, the top one is David White's redesign for MW4.
This is the Japanese one from Macross

actuality they are BOTH canon designs. The top one was even used in the Wizkids Clix game and the bottom one is from the Phoenix project redesigns

M is for MISSILES! That's good enough for me!

Edit: I guess I should probably actually comment on the topic, shouldn't I? I really like the legs on the first one but find myself more attracted to the torso of the second. if I could combine them, that might be neat. Swap their missile racks about. As they are, though, I vote for number one!

I really like the first one.

[Kervar]

Personally like the MW4 Mercs one XD

[Joeseph Pierce]

bottom one with the top cockpit. love the 2nd one's missle pods!

The big reason I started this thread besides the poll is to show... for example that the first Longbow pic was used in both MW 4 and again in the Wizkids table top Clix game and while its design is nothing like the Original (Harmony Gold) design... they found a work around to still be able to use an UNSEEN with a updated design. So ALL UNSEENS are fare game and can be used just as the Longow was used in these 2 ways.

I'd like to point out that the MW4/Clix version only has 19 LRM tubes in each arm, meaning it is, by default, 2 missiles short of being able to mount LRM-20's.

The Project Pheonix is more sensible, with 35 missile tubes in each arm (12C variant).

The whole point of this post is basically me saying I like things that are graphically accurate.

[osito]

The top one looks bulkier and more like what i think a assault mech should look like.

[Farmer]

The Phoenix version. It looks more like the original model.

[Stormlight666]

Well not the first one since its sporting LRM19's (count the holes). The economy may be in bad shape but no government is going to deprive me of 2 extra LRM's (yes, one for each arm) in combat.

[Joe Mallad]

I think this mech would make people happy for 2 reasons.
1. It will make people happy to see an UNSEEN/RESEEN in the game
2. It will give us a GREAT well balanced Assault Missile Mech which is greatly needed I think.

[Vora MacEvedy]

Actually the top one looks like the -7Q version from TRO: 3058. Something that supposedly all the older models were being built like sometime around the 3040s...

[Tterrag]

To be honest i'll pilot a tin can with google eyes and one cleft foot as long as it rains the same hell as the longbow

lol... I think that was a Drawing design flaw. That particular (top) longbow has 2 LRM/20 packs.
And before anyone asks about the(bottom) Longbow... it houses a LRM 20(top) and LRM15(bottom) in each arm. So if that bottom one let it payload go on you at once, that would be 70 LRMs a salvo coming at you lol

Top one looks like a naga with strap ons. I really have to vote other on this one.
