How did the hulking war machine of the concept art become the comedy robot with the big bosom?Maybe it's just the camera angle?

[Mechteric]

camera angle and pink

also DX9

I agree, I seriously hope that's not the final model, or it is just the angle and paint job.

Highlander was going to be my first assault, but if it looks like that? Maybe not.

[Voridan Atreides]

It looks so wimpy compared to the concept art....might just be the pink...

Is that an AMS on its rear end?

[Budor]

The side torsos should not be "flat" with the center torso. Also why did they pack 6 tubes in the BIG launcher and 10 in the TINY one, looks ********.

[El Bandito]

One is the default HGN-733.

One is a custom hero mech piloted by a legendary FEMALE pilot.


Naturally they will look different.

I'm going to chime in here and say that while I've been impressed by every single other mech's in-game model, the Highlander is the first one I'm underwhelmed by for some reason. It's not the "big bosom" as OP pointed out, it's just that the Highlander doesn't have something to distinguish it from being a generic humanoid robot.

[Tennex]

you'll notice that where the R/L torsos are sunken in on the concept art. it is elevated on heavy meta.

maybe those are her mech boobs

now the entire chest is flat. makes it look like it lacks detail. makes it look like just flat simple geometry

To me it looks as if something has gone wrong with the geometry of the chest area. The concept art has a butch-looking section in the centre that is forward of the missile bay on the right. The 3D model looks to have all three sections protrude forward and stick out furthest at the bottom. Rather like a matronly bosom. Please let it be the camera angle.

[BoPop]

looks like i'll be aiming for that left booby.

MW4's realisation was rather nicer.

I have stated my dislike for the 3D model a few times, so just echoing it here. I am not sure if they can still do something about it, but I'm really not inclined to buy it the way it looks right now.

Edit:

I am not 100% sure what feels off. It's similar to the concept art, but it ends up looking too boxy compared to the concept art. I also somewhat feel that the arms are too long, giving it more of a goofy look.

For some reason they twisted the legs on the ingame pic. That is what makes it look so silly. concept art looks far better anyhow though.

[Revorn]

I nearly can hear it scream, shot my Head, shot my Head. And this Sidetorsos, i would set them a bit Back, to get closer to the Conceptart. Imho

But should look nice with the rigth Camo, i guess.

This makes me laugh. I could care less what any of the mechs look like, I only really care about whether or not they have some capabilities that distinguish them from another mech. If it was a box on stilts and wrecked everything in it's path, I'd buy it.

[Lusankya]

The 3D model will always look a little different than the concept art but that is not always a bad thing. In this case I do think the concept art looks better but I'm going to wait until I see the normal variants and not the Hero version.

Cause that's how it was first drawn many years ago.
