You have to get in the same position as the Timber Wolf against that tower.

It looks like the Timber Wolf is actually a little further from the tower than the Dragon is, so the perspective might be off by a notch.

yeah just a bit its a rough estimate. Timberwolf's left leg is just at the red/grey boarder on the ground, whereas the dragon's foot crosses it. but its very close. Any discrepancies would be from differences in perspective

but if we were to take the timberwolf's being a bit further up towards the camera than the dragon, we can say it is a slight bit under 7

From the look of it the Timberwolf has the legs in a moving motion meaning they are pitched up adding height.

TBH the Timber Wolf looks are tall as a Catapult but with more width.

One angle is looking down, the other angle is looking up.

I suspect the Timberwolf is closer to the 6.

It would be really cool if someone could take an orion and do this scale comparison. I would but i don't own one

very easy to test this. just take a dragon and move the angle downwards near where the timberwolf's shot is taken.

i suspect it won't make much of a difference given how close they are to the pillar. it may put the dragon up to solid 6.2 from 5.9ish and if you then move the dragon closer to the camera like the timberwolf it would go from 6.2 to maybe 6.5. Though to be that precise we'd have to say the timberwolf from the SS angle would be at 7.2

Either way the timberwolf is going to be a bit bigger than the dragon which is fine considering its 15 tons heavier.

A lot of people are really overacting and aren't properly looking at the screen shots.

Spoiler

Perfectly reasonable looking ratio of torso and leg.

Perspective is a tad forced. Upwards angle. Torso Tilted down. Legs are moving giving more height.

Yeah, the Timber Wolf looks awesome. People need to take their nerd sticks out of their butts.

I hear ya there, if I wanted a bulky Timber Wolf, I'd run the Mk II. But to each their own when it comes to personal tastes.

[MeiSooHaityu]

I like the new MWO Timberwolf. I thought the legs were a bit too long at first, but I think it is about right.

I do like the old MW2 Timberwolf too. I did not care for the MW4 one :/

[MeiSooHaityu]

Actually, if I was to be really critical of the design...

* Ok, legs are a bit bulky, but I feel they are the right length.
* Not sure I like how the arms are done. Could have been dropped a tiny bit an the missile racks elevated off the arms similar to the older Timberwolfs.
* Torso could have been a bit pointier. Yea you don't want a larger CT, but it seems a bit too recessed visually.

Still, once all is said and done, I like it. I will definently be getting one when the C-Bill variant launches.

I really loved playing MW2 back in the day, but that is the most ridiculous looking mech I have ever seen. Sometimes nostalgia doesn't pay.

Russ has posted a few more pics (referenced in the main announcement thread) including some from the side/rear. It's one chubby Mad Cat we've got coming.

yeah it is a bit chubby... oh well. I guess it got the MWO treatment of phat legs so at least they are consistent.
