The concept art has four and so do all the old drawings, was this just a mistake, that was not caught in QC?

Why does it have huge guns sticking out of it, people don't have huge guns sticking out of them?!

Mech =/= people (or mech != people or mech <> people for those other guys, you know who you are)

Has nothing to do with how a person looks, has to do with how the orginal mech looked and how the concept art looked. Seems to me that it was a mistake that was not caught.

The question is, "why not?" Or, "why does it matter?" Or "who cares?"

So what if it has six fingers? I think it makes it more ghoulish. That's what a Banshee is, a screaming ghoul of doom!

I think the six finger design was deliberately chosen for that reason.

It matters to me and my MC. My question is fair and unbiased. I personally believe that it was an unintentional mistake.

I hear ya steele, there isn't a good reason why they should have added that. I can believe that unintentional and at the same time a reason for adding that could have been to make it look more unique. or disfigured to give it as TELEFORCE stated a ghoulish feel.

why does it matter? because that is not what the mech looked like, it is true that mechs always go through redesigns but at the same time adding a finger for no reason doesn't make much sense.

who cares? well that it easy, people who appreciated the design of the banshee and the added finger is a feature not welcomed in those who have favored the banshee.(i dunno if i got that right)

I highly doubt it was a mistake. There's no way it made it this far without it being intentional. Picasso didn't accidently leave the eyebrows off that My Sharona Lisa painting and go "oh well, sell this botch!" Honestly you should be more concerned with the obviously lacking 80's Sunglasses.

I refuse to believe this is worth talking about. They modeled a finger and copied it one to many times. Who cares?? Well actually, you care... Ok, Why do you care?? Good lord...
