I just realized that the marauder 2 is fair game for MWO. Being introduced in 3012. plus the marauder 2 itself is not an unseen.

Only problem is it can't look too similar to the unseen marauder.


I would understand if PGI may want to hold off on Marauder 2 design until they are able to obtain the rights for the Marauder, so that they can be designed similarly. (IE base marauder 2 design on marauder. not the other way around. )

It already looks different enough by being what it is, not the marauder.

though this is the tro art for marauder 2. just marauder with wings


but i think they have better leverage using the marauder 2 to get it into our game than with the marauder one. cuz the 2 itself isn't unseen. (thank god for those wings)

The Marauder II was unseen as well (at least that's what Sarna says).

Looks pretty UnSeen to me. It's just a slightly bulkier Officer's Battlepod.

Only way it makes it is to use the ReSeen Phoenix version or a whole new one. But since it's origins are in the Macross designs, I would not hold my breath.



and call me picky, but I just can't get excited about the "Cataphract 2"

bigger cataphract yaya!

No it doesn't, it's obviously derivative, and thus still covered by the copyright. Doesn't matter in any case because there aren't 3 variants available at this time I'm pretty sure.

i have a feeling that PGI will find a way to sukk the money out of the players with the other popular unseens like MAD and WHM... they are at least very creative in this regard.

MAD-4A Marauder II - available since 3012
MAD-5A Marauder II - Available since 3049
MAD-5B Marauder II - available since 3050

For visuals, bulk-up and "FD-ize" the artwork recently released for the MAD-4X Marauder for Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars I.

(The original MAD-4X design for the TRO was, in fact, apparently done by one Anthony Scroggins... known to some as "Shimmering-Sword".)

wish catalyst games woudl work out some sort of deal with HG using this marauder




Lol if they wanted to implement the unseens now would be a really good time, since HG is currently using their resources on that lawesuit against Hasbro

see, now that looks like a MArauder II..... as I been saying for over a year. And the XTRO is just another takeon the Project Phoenix chassis. While I am not agianst the ReSeen MAD, it is hardly iconic, eithe.
