I don't understand the fuss over the mechs feet, maybe it's just me. What i don't like it that horrible orange camo pattern. Give the Madcat a poker and a bag and have it pick up trash on the side of the road. Oh, and a BIG reflective stripe..... but then again, all that can be changed so /shrug....
Back to worrying about Mech feet, can we get one with heels?

only if we can give it a bad paint job and fishnets that are torn and have it stand under a lamp post smoking a cigarette

Then change the colors. People who buy a Clan Pack before they release will get the three colors, and there's C-Bill colors, or some people have colors from previous specials. Shouldn't be that hard to change the orange to something else.

Dear PGI,
there are several threads where people complain about the unability to change camo patterns on Founders, Hero and Phoenix mechs. This, in case of Founders and Phoenix mechs directly correlates with the problem that you design mechs with different design features - but you do not support those mechs with the needed camo patterns!
While the differences in design for Founders and Phoenix mechs were just small you take this problem to the next level with the Clan Collections Prime variants, or as they seem to be called now the "Invasion" variants.
I just noticed that you PGI decided to deny the correct rounded leg geometry of the Timberwolf to all players that are not Clan Collection buyers:
To me this is a very bad move! Every player should be able to get a Timberwolf with the correct podlike rounded legs.
But it also goes the other way around, as I think Alex did an improvement by changing the correct geometry humanoid hands the Invasion Stormcrow has into what looks like claws at the Standard Stormcrow all other players get:
And sometimes as in case for the Adder the quick adaption of original TRO art features like the panel of the Adders belly box onto the ingame Adder model which has been altered to allow Torso twist results in extreme boxyness:
Plus - it has allready been confirmed that all Invasion Models of the Clan mechs from the Collectors packages will suffer the same camo pattern restrictions all Founders, Hero and Phoenix mechs got allready! Beeing pinned down to but one pattern only!
So first I beg PGI to make the correct shape of Timberwolf legs available to ALL players!
And second I beg PGI to let collection buyers change the design on their 30% C-bill bonus mechs as they please! (For example using clawed standard Stormcrow with 30% C-bill bonus instead of Invasion Stormcrow)
And last but not least I beg PGI to get camo pattern support on Founders, Hero, Phoenix and Invasion mechs - or at least let us switch them to standard geometry and than pick a camo pattern. Either way let paying customers enjoy the 30% C-bill bonus AND individualize their mechs!

Uhh, I get your concern with the paint jobs on the real money package mechs, because that would bother me too... but some of the other smaller details you are trying to point out are frankly the nit-pickiest nit picks I have ever seen a nit try to pick.
Also, I'm pretty sure that some of the stuff you are trying to point out in the pictures here are because of what variant loadout they are using, not because of how they were purchased.

I couldn't care less whether or not people who paid get unique geometry or not.
On the issue of non-changable camo skins, it's actually stopped me from ordering anything but the most basic clan pack. Invariably the founders, phoenix, and probably clan pack version of the mechs turn out to be my favorite, and then I can't customize the mech I love most. So I just didn't bother this time. My Founders Hunchback, my Shadowhawk, my Thunderbolt, my Griffin, my Wolverine, they're all stuck with their founders/phoenix paint scheme.
As an artist myself, I'm not sure why they can't just pack the little bit of extra geometry into the UV set when they unwrap all of the variants from the start.
Just my .02 cents. Honestly, it's a very very minor gripe for me, and doesn't stop me from enjoying the game.

Please take this in the light hearted way its meant but I feel like some people need girl friends.
Thankfully we do not need to rely on PGI for our girlfriends!
Else we would have to pay for them and they could only wear one dress!

My thoughts exactly Agro - at least they should let us switch geometry of premium mechs to get access to camo pattern customization. Please feel free to leave a post here, maybe PGI will listen when their art teams got a bit more time on their hands:
