It's taller than the Cataphract and nearly as wide! I guess it'll be an easy to hit target.

Could we get some pictures of the Locust and Battle Master...To bad I don't have the Cbill to customize them Tuesday oh well just run around in them Stock LOL

[John MatriX82]

VERY TALL. Too much, or maybe similar to the Trebuchet but at least without giant hitboxes like TBT's RT. Legs aren't that thick.. mixed feelings, it might be a light poptarter with xl, otherwise probably you'd better go standard.

[Adridos]

Why not compare it directly to it's other 55ton cousin, the Kintaro?

[Arnold J Rimmer]

Welp. Its elbow looks higher than that of the Awesome, and the top of the mechs seem about equal (dodgy photo angle aside). It's as wide as the Centurion, which is as wide as the Awesome.

So, we've a 55-tonner the EXACT SAME SIZE as an 80-tonner? /golfclap

Disagree, it's not that wide.
The thinness of the SHawk is all that it's got going for it at this point (in terms of hitboxes)

[Silentium]

Why so big?

[LiGhtningFF13]

Awesome piece of metal!

[GoManGo]

Just like all the rest of the mediums it will be a large slow walking bad maneuvering punching bag PGI never listens to reason to make the medium class a viable asset on the battle field. The mech looks good though and that's what counts right? Derp Derp.

never thought I would ever see a Shawk in a MechWarrior game ever again, but they say never say never!

PGI office, October 12th:

"Okay people, listen up! I know you've seen all the posts about how the scaling is wrong on many mechs. I've decided that we wont listen to that and wont change a thing. Thanks for your time people, now back to work!"

[GoManGo]

Looking at the mech I just see a MWO mech there all starting to look alike. One of the appeals of Battletech were all there cool weird looking mechs. MWO mechs are starting to look like canned models.

[Vassago Rain]

Stop feeding your gundams growth hormones, PGI.

[Wispsy]

Lol they made a medium the size of an assault and the tbolt the size of a medium...

IF YOU ARE UNDER 60 TONS PGI DOES NOT WANT YOU PLAYING THE GAME!

Most numerous chassis in the game: Mediums

Most mechs in the Phoenix pack: Mediums

Biggest potential source of income of PGI, selling: Mediums

Most screwed over chassis in the game due to no drop limits and borked scaling: Mediums

PGI, you're doing it wrong!

Maybe the intention was that since they're such a big part of the phoenix package, they should make sure you got your money's worth?

Pay for a 55 tonner, get a 15 tons added for free.

Ehhrrmmm... Bigger than the Awesome??? WTF?!
