Actually lots of mechs. If I'm being painfully honest, there are a lot of crappy designs in BT. There are also a lot of excellent designs. But many of them just scream "quantity over quality".

I always thought the Executioner Clan 'Mech looked kinda goofy. The face on it always looked like it was mildly annoyed to me.

Explain to me how it walks. Let alone runs.

I can't even tell where the knee is, and it also doesn't seem to have ankle joints.

FD has already done some sketching on that front. However this is FAN ART, not official MWO material, he did this in his personal time ages ago.

I always liked the Jagermech... it's like a larger Urbanmech, which I also like.

Frankly, judging by the Stalker and even how great the new Centurion looks, I doubt there's any 'mech they can screw up, even the Yeoman. Maybe I just have too much faith after seeing what they've done so far.

Oh, and Mackie. Every time I see that thing, all I can think is this "Gato" from Chrono Trigger:

But Urban mechs in any form are just adorable. If they sold a plushie urbanmech I'd by it in an instant.


Urbie is just what is it have to be. Simple. Killa Kan!

I want to direct you all to shortpainter's redesign thread over in the Fan Art section.

Years ago, shortpainter took up a friend's challenge and proved that with the right skill, any 'mech can look cool. Here are his redesigns of many of the ugliest ones out there. Jaeger, Urbie, Blackjack, the Eggs, there's a bunch. Couple Unseens to boot. Go! Feast your eyes and revel in the glorious beauty that is the Sentinal!

I'll second the Yeoman....blech...

I'll also add:
Men Shen
Raijin
Uziel

and take FULL issue with the suggestion that the Thug is anything BUT a work of Beat-Your-Face-In beauty...

samurai looking mechs


Oh god no those are the worst. It's not even the melee aspect that kills them for me, it's the fact that they are holding swords in their hands and that a swords method of damage is totally impractical for defeating armor. It pushes my suspension of disbelief meter past my limit.

Oh and on topic, I personally find the Battlemaster ugly as hell. I mean, it's holding a gun in its hands, how un-BattleTech is that? One of the only mechs where I actually prefer the DarkAge redesign.

How can you hate the Mackie? That is like hating a Model-T because it doesn't look like a 2012 Mustang, Camero, or Corvette or something.

Hey, Gato was cool, man.



Anyway. On topic: There are alot of really fugly designs out there. The Thug (ugh), the original Marauder, the Firefly and its broken arms (poor thing) the Victor and its terrible haircut, the pregnant godzilla that is the Annihilator...I could go on and on.

Oh,don't get me wrong. Mackie is indeed a fine Model T. That doesn't excuse the fact that it's old, clunky, and likely incapable of being blessed with a redesign.

Oh man, the trash can on legs! When this game was announced, I went back through my old TT minis and I actually have one of these! What was I thinking?
