In its primary configuration, the Warhawk is equipped with an array of long range weapons including two ER PPCs mounted in each of the 'Mech’s arms.

curious to see the other variants

[Navid A1]

nice design overall...
but the left arm missile pod is a little out of shape... (would be better as a 3+2+3+2 instead of 2x5)

[Jess Hazen]

Very nice I like.

[TyphonCh]

Very nice.
Now only if we knew what warhorns did. Hint hint

[xCico]

God, this clan mechs will be so easy to hit O.O

Think Heavy Metal music played on kill.

[Dawnstealer]

I will enjoy shooting this Clan mech in the face.

[Jody Von Jedi]

Gorgeous mech. PGI art dept rocks!

[Pariah Devalis]

All. Of. My. Yes.


The only, ONLY Assault Mech that I ever loved.

[charov]

It's massive, I'm curious about seeing how the hitbox will be managed. However the 3D model it's very nice, I love it!

[Zack Esseth]

Looks good, I think the nose is just a tad stubby. But a solid build the rest of the way around.

This I agree with, the concept had it this way. But I will still play this mech at some point!

Edit: I take that back, the nose is spot on with the concept art!

Looks pretty good. How about a thread detailing how Clan things will actually work, not speculation or unfinished, countless charts

[990Dreams]

Looks great! I always loved the way this Mech looked.

[InRev]

Not a fan of the arm launcher, but I bet most people will pull it off anyway.

Otherwise, it's a pretty mean-looking death-machine!

It's funny how the Clan mechs all look like what proper war machines should look like. Aggressive, utilitarian, yet graceful somehow.

Damn clanners get all the good stuff!

[Pariah Devalis]

Just wait until you see my modified Charlie. ERPPC and LPLas in both arms, 24 DHS and an AMS. Come at me, bro. XD

[Shiro Matsumoto]

Funny how all the more expensive series Mechs get shown first

I think the the missile rack is at wrong place at all - the Warhawk missile pod was on the shoulder . The cockpit also looks odd - like the pilot will take sunbaths - huge glass at 45 degrees toward the sky and the rim pass just in the front of the front line of sight ! At least the legs look better then the TimberWolf .

[FireSlade]

I love it, especially the mounting of each of the ERPPCs. My only complaint is the missile pod. With it vertical and close to the ground I can see the missiles having the same issue as the Catapract has with its weapons. It would be better if it was mounted horizontally or made to be square instead of a rectangle.

[Hexenhammer]

Ed-209 is proud of them legs.

And when I saw that left arm all I could think of was

It increases the arm's target profile to the point of absurdity so off with the missles! I
