I like the badass sunglasses and the giant gun arm. Other than that it looks like the typical humanoid setup.


Unless magic is done to the model, I probably won't pilot it after I master it (we already got some really good looking mechs in game already). It's a tad slow for a medium outside of the Avenging Angel. It's hardpoints aren't bad either. I'm probably going to do Narc + 2 Large Laser or PPCs on it. Probably a Tag Laser in the head if I'm not doing the Avenging Angel variant.

Yeah it is definitely among the more ugly awkward looking mechs. They could have gone with the Kyudo if they were just looking for another 45 tonner to stick in the game. Or the Wyvern for that matter.

The Kyudo I believe was an extinct design until it was put back into production circa 3079. Just have to see it uses an ER Large Laser and the only manufacturing plant was destroyed during the Amaris Civil War.

Therefore, we shouldn't have access to it.

The Wyvern was out of production for a long time until 3064 but there always were working mechs in all Successor States so it's possible. Though am not sure about number of viable variants. *shrugs*

Don't worry, Alex won't let us down. After all, he fixed the Kintaro.

Alex is a god. His concept art already looks pretty cool:



Also, xelchon did some pretty awesome concept stuff

It'll need it - low mounted weapons, and a 45 tonner, it'll need to be a svelte metal ballerina to be competitive. I have faith!

I just bought the Anansi yesterday.... Looking forward to the Vindi too. I'm willing to spend some money for the hope of a better tomorrow. Soon ™....

So we should expect, the 1R, the 1AA, the 3L and a hero???

Or perhaps the 1X instead of the 1AA?

Think I'll skip the Anansi and get the Vindi when it gets here.

My fear is the Vindicator is going to be as tall as a goddamn Kintaro/Shawk/Trebby

DON'T MAKE A 45T MECH AS TALL AS A HIGHLANDER PLEASE!

agreed ... it should be shorter and lighter than a treb and cent.

Like a scaled up commando

[Alistair Winter]

Looks like it may have the Commando syndrome. Rather short legs, wide hips. Looks good when it's standing upright, but going to look weird in-game when its knees are bent. And as a small, fast mech, I don't think it's going to walk tall, like an assault mech. It has Donald Duck feet, like the Blackjack. I hope they end up looking better in-game than the Blackjack's feet.

Does it have lower arm actuators?

Not sure what to think about this one.
