Nice work. The Timberwolf is what got me interested in Battletech. I bought the old Horizon model kit back in the 90s. I had no idea what Battletech was but the design was cool. From there I got into the books, then the games.

[ENDMYSUFFERING]

I'd actually like the in-game Timber Wolf to look like this, if the era is correct. (I don't do much BT history study.)

[warpig07]

something ive always thought, the cockpit on the Timberwolf/madcat looks similar to the F-4U



that or the F-4 phantom heh

[tyrone dunkirk]

Hot Damn! That is a nice take on the Timber Wolf! Congrats on the epic design

[xR1pp3Rx]

can i have permission to model it in 3d as is? i very much like the look you have come up with.

Nice, I'll take 5

Someone is building a Timber Star... Too bad It will not be anything like my Timber Wolf Bina... I mean Envy!

Edit: I would like to see a few elements from the Savage Wolf get blended into the original Timber. The Savage looks sleek and sexy, and I think reducing some of the boxiness of the Timber would give it some fresh aesthetics.

Nicely done Azure! Please show us more of your work!

[Fresh Meat]

I love the slender nose, great job!

[Ironhawk]

Azure, nice job on that MadCat. Good to see a peer giving a shot at 'Mech design. It's a long process and I for sure can appreciate the time you must have put in it... and it shows! Kudos.

[Sean Lang]

We have not heard from Azure since he posted this, we were hoping for more work from him!

All I have to say...is once the Clans invade...THIS NEEDS TO BE THE TIMBER WOLF...

If They don't ask you to use this, and You don't say yes, THEY AND YOU ARE HERETICS in my mind o.o;

[Jehan]

I'm sold on this design. Feels a lot more like a true warmachine, unlike the TRO 'deathwish-full-glass-torso-shoot-me-please' machine.

you improved a true classic

damn your good

[Phelan Adam Davion]

Genius! (...and pretty brave)

99% of all BT-Fans love the Timber Wolf because it is "the Mech".

...so the chance to misplease is very high in this case.

But, honestly, this is the best TimberWolf-Design I`ve ever seen.
If it will look like this one in MW:O I could become jealous of the Clans... but I defenitely will always be happy to see one on the Battlefield.

@Azure:
i think the arms looked to long

quick an dirty "paint fix" nothing special. but i thing it looks better with shorter arms ;-)

nice renders but this is the only Timberwolf that we need...



why rework it when it was already this AWESOME back in the 90's? Seriously - if it looked like this in game I think it would come full circle with everybody's first impressions of the franchise and would appeal more to everybody who grew up loving mechwarrior.

Also note the difference in leg joints - which are actually offset at the knees.

The MW4 Timberwolf was a bad rework in my opinion.

I appreciate your renderings were hard to make - but I am sorry I have to abstain. This one is the one we should have - the iconic symbol of mechwarrior!!

i like that redesign and the MW2/MW3 wolves are nice because they are iconic especially in MW3 it was the Poster child. But the Redesign looks like it would fit in perfectly next to our current line up of updated mechs. plus less head shot room the better lol. now i would like someone to do a quick redesign on a summoner and adder. what would be the first 4 mechs? summoner Timberwolf Mad Dog and .....? DireWolf? probably not since heavy heavy heavy assault but yea i can't wait for the redesign of the clan mechs.

they shouldn't fit in though as you say - because they are Clan Technology from half a Galaxy away!!! They already look so damn good - maybe just add a little more detail - and BOOM - MWO has the ultimate Wolf! I personally would hate to see any departure from the traditional Timberwolf we have all come to recognise.

I also don't see more or less headshot room on either mech.. ?

[Rovertoo]

Amazing! Best re-imagining I've seen yet!

[Pariah Devalis]

As someone who has never been partial to the poor design in the placement of the cockpit, and never particularly attached to the design as a whole, I love this rework of it. Absolutely love it. Would like to see a redesigned Hellbringer sometime, too.
