This looks fantastic. Really hope they do not mess this one up when they implement the battlemech.

While I can appreciate it as a nice rendition it's not going to look much like what will be in MWO, it's most likely going to be a bit thicker with more plating, specifically in places that don't make sense to be scrawny like the upper arm. MWO artists have been good about keeping their mechs in their style, arguably it doesn't turn out great for every mech, but I bet there are also technical reasons for this like poly counts.

looks real good, but the arms are too tiny. (IMO)

Wow! Amazing model!
Very true to the original, which is, IMO, not the best thing...
I would make it look less "delicate" and more MWO-like (by making the arms and upper legs stronger and the cockpit much smaller).

PS: the torso is delicious.

I agree with the following:
- The torso is great. This is usually what I usually dislike about the Mad Cat and why I don't like it.
- The arms are and legs seem to thin to me.
- Standing by the original art is fine. :)

So far I think this is the best concept (sorry Hammur) but this (IMO) portrays Timber Wolf better.


I just do not like the missile launchers..

They need to put this exact mech in the game, and I would gladly blow all my money for this mech

The upper arms could be thicker. They look fragile here.

Over all the mech looks great.

weapon pods feel a little small all said, too, though I like the basic look, Just think it needs chunkier arms to feel balanced. It is a great render though.

Other than the arms the only thing i'd say to change is the general greeblyness. Clan mechs were elegant and efficient in their design. Easy for clanners to maintain, but next to impossible(due to tech level) for IS to maintain. The Timberwolf in my opinion should look a little more swoopy and alien and less like it's been thrown together from spare parts. Not that yours looks that way, its just the other end of the scale and I think you ventured a little bit to close for my liking.
