My beloved 3025 TRO is falling apart. Or would be if it were not for the copious amounts of packing tape laminating the tattered shreds back into book shape. I memorized all the silly, hyperbole filled fluff nonsense when I was 8 years old, but it still tickles me to read it...

... art is somewhat painful at times.

Makes me wish:

And now that I've spent a stupid tedious amount of time on this nonsense, ("ink line" conversion was an effect... the million-stray-pixel cleanup after was all by hand. B) )
I'm sure someone has done this already and furthermore that there is no real point to it. :D

Stretch goal of doing all the mechs PGI used from this TRO and taping them in the book over the old artwork (Sorry Duane Loose).

Favorite mech?
Favorite mech...

for some reason the earlier concept art (Founder's Four were preview waaay before closed beta launched) is much less tidy than more recent stuff...

Nice work updating the TRO artwork. There is no doubt that Alex Iglesias and the MWO art team have revolutionized Battlemech design. Realistic, industrial, armored, war machines. They are amazing now. The original TRO artwork was bad.. even in the day.
