I definitely like the current one. Some games made the Catapult look anemic, and some of the mini's don't look that great. But PGI did great on the current model and set the bar on what all heavy mechs can be gauged.

MWLL's Catapult was decent, though the missile racks could use work, though the C version with Arrows was pretty good too.

I voted both Current and Operation: Inception, I think they're both good. Maybe when we get those customisable chassis we can choose between them.

Snub nosed is cute

[SgtMagor]

the current Snub nose looks good, that little change in design from the founders made it look more intimidating.

[Jetfire]

As much as I love my founders, I prefer the current really.

Current design. If we were running with clan tech, classic would be fine (as it shares MadCat DNA).

I hated the catapult in MWx, but dig it in MWO.

[Asmosis]

classic has the whole mickey mouse thing going on, don't think I could take it seriously on the battlefield. Also didn't see the difference in founders vs current till I started reading thread

I love the beak, but the snub nose is OK too. The classic Cat looks a bit goofy because of how large its body is compared to the missile pods. It also looks like it ate all the pies.

Current. I absolutely LOVE what they're doing with these 'Mechs, and prefer every single one of these new designs to anything that was released previously. A lot of the original art makes the 'Mechs look... well, weird. And some of their interpretations are additionally more weird. I hated the way the Catapult looked in Mechwarrior: Living Legends, but this current design of the CPLT-C1 and CPLT-K2 are top notch.

And it's carried into every single chassis. The Cataphract, the Atlas (that poor Atlas didn't get the attention it deserved in MWLL), the Awesome especially, the Jagermech, the Centurion, the Jenner, the Commando.... every single 'Mech looks industrial, like a hardened battle machine. I'll accept no substitute.

Love my founders Cat, but the snub nose of the current standard is the better looker (IMO)

[General Taskeen]

I prefer the 3050 artwork design from Battle Tech.

[Tie Ma]

classic is lame. i don't hate the MW4 or MC2 design though.

[Corvus Antaka]

I like both the founders and the currrent design best

I never saw the MW2 Catapult. I had botha Titanium Edition for PC and a PS1 edition. I know the computer had more, but I have never, ever seen inner sphere mechs in MW2. O_O;

Also, added the Battletech 3050 manual's sketch of the catapult to the voting options. Failed to add the MW2's version as they look very similar.

Remember you can vote for multiple mechs, and it's okay to delete your vote and revote if you want.

The classic Catapult looks pretty bad. I think the Catapult is the mech PGI did the most benefit to. They took a dorky looking mech and made it cool.

Hats off to PGIs design team.

[Koniving]

Personally I've been trying to decide which battlemech's arms from those already built in the game would look good for a "Madcat" mock up made out of classic or founder's catapults.

Ideas?

Cannot agree more, so far all the MWO designs looks way more wonderfull than any other even the old classic ones.

Can't Wait to see more and more mech redesigned!!

[buttmonkey]

i voted classic but as in the metal miniature

http://www.ebay.com/...S:B:SHOP:US:101

i think they look much nicer with longer legs

and be honest when you think it about it, it makes more sense that it would be tall as it is a missile boat, much easier to just fire over other mechs instead of having some one run in front of you and ruin your whole salvo :\

Talk about top heavy! A stiff breeze looks like it could blow the thing over, let alone a gauss slug.
