i dunno, this pic seems ok, though maybe the "hood" over its nose is a bit long

[Reno Blade]

The nose looks a bit long, bit it gives it some kind of "doberman" / "german dogge" kinda face

[Phantom360]

yes the dire wolf finaly

[Prc]

I agree with this Capper guy above the "hood" its too long or the nose its too short and make it look fat and ugly... i like the rest of the mech though, but does the legs are supossed to be like that only on gold or clan pack versions? on 2nd pic the legs look way more blocky.

[Redshift2k5]

All the angles of the Daishi look much better than the first secret unannounced render .

gold nova on Canyon looks like the most goldilicious one yet, but of course the highly reflective material is going to appear differently on different maps.

[MisterPlanetarian]

A 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally.

Atlas is the new Awesome.

Like the Nova, despite its deviation from cannon. Yes i understand the need for it. I like it though, looks like if you stay mobile it should spread dmg pretty well which was a concern of mine.

Dire Wolf is nice, from the front and back. It is missing that something.... it doesnt look as "heavy" as in previous MW titles. I think its the pointy hull of the CT. needs mild tweaks, maybe flatten the nose a smidge and broaden out the cone part a little. Make it look a little more beefy then the pointy one on there. Still, looks good overall.

[Malcolm Vordermark]

The hood feels a bit too tall. Otherwise I like it. I guess 50.5 tons of weapons will just have to make me feel better about the hood

Now, what do you say we get some pictures of these guys sized up against IS mechs of the same weight?

Thats the cbill version. The clan preorders have unique geometry on the prime variants. In this case smooth shins (and probably handle bars somewhere).

Nova looks great. I think the addition of hips both looks good and was really needed to not gimp the mech.

dang the direwolf now is a masakari, the designers lost the compass.

[Rubidiy]

Looks cool. The only issue with this mech is it's low weapon positioning, which is something kinda inevitable for Daishi. Although I would've done everything design-wise to lift these weapon slots higher.

[KursedVixen]

little late on the Dire wolf pictures???

It's going to be higher mounted than an atlas, and the torso weapons will fit on the rectangular surface just above the top lasers in height. Convergence will be pretty good up close as a result. All in all i'm satisfied with it.

For 50.5 tons of clan weapons I'll trade you a catapult CT any day.

It was delayed by all the Reddit nonsense probably.

Why is it 50.5 tons? 100 tons - 608 standart armor and - XL300 should be 55.5 tons

[MonkeyCheese]

Cant wait to damage those massive lookin legs from range!

Especially when its angled like the first pic

Dire Wolf! It was about time! Looks good but cockpit is a tad big. Cant wait

It has 5 more double heatsinks on it that you can't remove. One in a leg, two in the engine and one in each side torso, that makes 15DHS.

[Odanan]

You can change the name of that one for Droopy Wolf.

On the other hand, the Nova never looked so sexy.
