The more I look at it the more I like it. Great base loadout and lots of customization options, very tempting

Good job PGI

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. reference on the last line! Brilliant!

I vote this one "most-improved" over the original TRO artwork, narrowly defeating the Cataphract.

All it needs now is bigger Missle pods and PPC arms ;)

Very nice re-design :P

The Stalker, what can I say. Let see, good weapons load out. But still ugly and dumb looking as ever. Don't get me wrong FD did a great redesign. But I have never like the look of this mech. And no matter how you draw it it is stupid looking. Just my opinion.

Not quite as hardcore as the Citytech Stalker drawing Jim Holloway did back in the 80's, but if you see this thing when you turn the corner, you'll definitely remember (AND it'll likely be the LAST thing you see).

Yeah, that was one of the better ones.

Very nice design indeed. That is a beast in even Stock mode. That and a Cata would make a great/crazy Offensive/Defensive pairing.

It's doable- you'd probably swap out the medium lasers to beef up the larges to PPCs, and you can mix the missile pods- between the LRM 10's and SRM 6's, you've got up to eight tons worth of launcher. That's enough for paired LRM 15's with plenty of ammo, or quad SRM 6 racks if you wanted the infighter.

Stalkers are gonna have a LOT of missile and energy hardpoints to play with. In that sense, it's probably the most flexibly moddable assault of the three.

Yeah, after looking over it even more, I really think it needs better feet. The rest of the mech is fine, but the stubs it is walking on is a little weird. So better feet, please, like this...

Wonderful. Always enjoyed piloting these on TT and in MW. I never really liked Atlas for some reason but the Stalker and Battlemaster are the bees knees

I am quite surprised, i was totally expecting the Cyclops.

At any rate, good redesign, I love the fact that they kept the Mektek style reverse jointed legs (it looks way better that way).

Very cool design... looks a lot better than the original. And the Stalker is one of the most versatile IS assaults and very common. Looking forward to blasting some of them to pieces :P

I think there are better options to the Stalker when we already have the Cata.

It simply looks like a more beefy Cata.

If the Cyclops was passed up over the Stalker.....boo I say...boo.


Boo to you.
Want a Cyclops? Remove a lot of armor from an Atlas and make the engine faster.
