I really enjoyed working with the Catapult.

I have gone through multiple mkXXX versions.
MWO does not know truly what they have and the flexibility of the Catapult.

mk II - Upgraded Weapon Pod
mk III - Improved Missile Pods (rack mounted missiles) slide in missile launchers in the Pods
mk III - Improved Weapon Pod pods moved from the Jagermech to the Catapult
mkiV - FrankenCat (mkI to the TimberWolf) added the Cataphract Arms and Cicada Armour Plates

FrankedCat on Patrol
Arms and IMP

Interesting......

rawr. sexy stuff!

[1stBEAST]

hmmm, maybe it woul look a bit better if the armpods weren´t so "fat" have you tried the armpod from the cent-9al, yet?

oh, and me thinks that a civilisation that uses battlemechs in cities doesnt use that kind of trafficlights, because of obvious reasons^^(collateral damage by just walking trough the streets :-D)

[Nehkrosis]

looks beast!
what did you do this with, just out of curiosity?

[baabaa214]

I used 3ds Max 2012 only.

Here is a new render.

I went through the Cats and found out there are V types.

mkI - Missile Cat
mkII - Gun Pod Cat
mkIII - Improved Gun Cat (Jagermech Pods)
mkIV - Scout Cat (Cicada Armour Plates)
mkV - Franken-Cat

Here a render of the Franken-Cat
Oh Cr8p..... this is not good.

looks like a real-life photo, good job!

I like this idea a lot. My only suggestion would being up the missle pods to the LT/RT as to prevent the Shoulder actuators the ability to move. Otherwise I would drop some of the MC I am saving on this.

Started bring the master map back into the Catapult from the old model that has most of the Camo Patterns and did a test render and thought is was a good render and decided to post it.

Is the scale correct? I mean it looks like it's 4 stories tall, that would be ~10 meters.

[baabaa214]

The Catapult is 17.2 meters high
A standard first floor of a building is 7.8 meter and 2nd plus floors are 3.9 meters high. Then start over again at the 20th floor.

So the Catapult is be 3 1/2 floors high from the ground floor.

I could be wrong.

[baabaa214]

Sorry my bad.
The Atlas is 17.6m and the Catapult is 14.8m

So that would make it 3 stories high.

[Skunk Wolf]

You got the Scale correct!

[baabaa214]

I have finished the fine tuning of the Franken-Cat.
I changed the missile ports from the seen LRMs to the closed SRM ports and added the PPC map to the arms.

I think this would a GREAT mech to add to MWO.
Are you listening MWO....

We could use an IS 75 tonner... very nice, that would be the biggest arm hit box in the history of arms though... Who am I kidding...i'd still try it.
