Looks only a little less Phallic...

and a little like a Catapult on Steroids.

Still think it was a mistake to put it into the game.

But as the only design I really don't like so far, I guess I can't complain.

Ah now that, is nice, very nicely done, love the look. Very well done indeed.

Wow...I don't think I have seen as such overwhelmingly good feed back on a released mech yet. There are some little ticky tack complaints and issues some people have brought up, but as a whole it looks like most everyone loves the design.

For me it hits the right spot: It kept the same Stalker egg torso and general aesthetic, (which make it's classic design) but changed the piece that almost everyone had an issue with in the Battletech game; the legs.

Great re-design!

Great looking mech

I typed a whole thing and just lost the text due to an accidental press of the backspace key when the text box was not selected.

To abridge:

• Glad to see Stalker make it
  
• Stalker is most common assault mech, well deserved to make it into the core MWO product.
  
• Great balanced machine forming the middle ground between Atlas and Awesome.
  
• Favoring fluff over the broken (Read: god-mode, munchy, beardy, min-maxed, poorly-balanced) and era-inappropriate-but-popular (See: Highlander) canon 'mechs the community was begging for is a great move.
  
• For all the crap that people give it (Hurr, It looks like a pee-pee) I have always thought it a really cool, unique design. I use the mini for my Taurian lance, myself.

I'm going to have to pilot this one just for all the Stalker jokes. "Get out of here Stalker!" "I said come in! Don't stand there!"

If only MWO had voice, then I could annoy my teammates with my fake Russian accent too.

[AceTimberwolf]

That is very intimidating.... Hmmm... If I had an Orion to smack it with then I'm all for it. lol

[Egomane]

Just one word:

YES!

[Creed Buhallin]

Torso is beautiful. I appreciate that something needed to be done with the legs, but I'm still adjusting to the new look. It feels very mismatched. Happy to have it in the game, though - it's a great platform with a lot of flexibility.

[Kid Weeb]

An immense LIKE! This Mech makes me happy!

[Turbo]

Awesome artwork and a great mech, cant wait to power one up!

[Hellzero]

Hell of a work on the Modeling department. Looks like something I'd wanna get, as "The Assault Mech", should I use one.

[Lex Peregrine]

Outstanding! Love the design!

[Sassori]

Well, now I have my first mech unless they come out with a solid 55 tonner or 75 tonner. I wasn't planning on playing an Assault but... Stalker is one of my favorites. I cannot /wait/ to get in there and customize that bad boy.

[chewie]

Nice, A mech that takes on all comers with its own indefatigable Grim Determination, belonging to a mechwarrior from the Grimm Determination mercenary unit

[soulfire]

Looking at the art work and knowing what the original looked like it actually looks like the stalker s legs are 180 degrees from its body. I say this only because if you look at its feet you see lets call them toes, facing the rear. i always liked the stalker and its weapon load out and it looks llot better with this design but the legs and feet at the moment look like its facing 180 around. A nice choice though to add .

[Basilisk51]

I want to do command or long range support and intel i think i just found my missile mech

[Cerlin]

Wow nice. This was one of my favorite assaults in mechwarrior 2 mercs, its like a really fat catapult.
