(Honestly, without the General Discussion thread, I don't know where this should go, so I'm gambling here)

The last chicken walker MWO got was the Stalker, and that was quite a while ago. Looking at all the upcoming mechs, they're all man-walkers except for the mythical Flee and Locust. And who knows when we'll get that lil' dude (the Flee).

I want some more chickens on the battlefield. Give me a Thug. Give me a Flashman! Give me a....um.... Well, I guess there aren't that many chicken walkers available until the Clans get here, huh? Still.

GIVE ME MY CHICKENS!

No mech is a real mech unless it has chicken legs and that's all that is to be said about it!

That chicken mech doesn't have chicken legs though :rolleyes:

I honestly think it is a stylistic choice for when the Clans arrive. It's an understandable design choice to utilize a lot of classic BT designs for Inner Sphere to make them feel conventional, then the Clans come in their Timberwolves, Mad Dogs, Dire Wolves, and others with their less blocky and more exotic designs. I'd not be surprised if the Clans maintain their curved looks over the Inner Sphere redesigns to make each faction look distinct. More to the point, if you see a clan mech in the distance, even without a target lock, you'll know it's a Clan mech. I think that is what the devs are shooting for.

I don't know. That mech kinda looks like a Catapult to me. 'might be a Marauder though.

i feel the need to say this. it doesnt matter what which the legs face for me, it the humanoid arms that bug me. i rather jager, bj, raven, stalker, etc. i think useless arms are dumb. i do prefer reverse knee legs though.

More crabs and more chicken please. And some good curry sauce with them :D

Humanoid Mechs become boring, and even more so since they tend to be all blocky these days, even the Kintaro.
