So Quickdraw and Kentaro are super sized then the Orion is super tiny.

I heard a theory that they have two teams doing mech designs without any oversight and that's why mech sizes are so funky. This is a likely theory.

It is very clear that the kintaro was designed/worked on by 'the new guy'.

They haven't made such an egregious hitbox error since the Closed Beta Dragon.

I think you can add Trebuchet to the list. Same size as a Victor but half the weight.

I saw a few custom colored Protectors tonight and kept mistaking them for mediums. Then again I'm also shot, tonight, so don't take my word for it.

IMO it's scaled like a heavy - compare to CTF, for instance.

Uhm, the Awesome makes the Kintaro look like the impenetrable fortress of Helm's Deep.

Orion is just about right. Kintaro is too big. Quickdraw is hideous, along with the bucket and the cent. Awesome isn't too big, but it has really bad hitboxes.

People are saying they mistake the orion for a medium because it's not as big as the 50 ton ones we got. Think about this. You're confused because the mediums we have are so huge, they dwarf something 50% heavier. It scales up well with the proper mechs, like the hunchback, raven, atlas, and victor.

Actually if you compare the Orion to the CTF, its pretty obvious the Orion is too small. The Cataphract is much wider across than the Orion and only slightly shorter.

Orion should be in between a CTF and a VTR and its not... its smaller than a CTF.
