Dragon has nothing to do with Harmony Gold. Absolutely NOTHING.
There are no copyright issues regarding it.
The issue comes from the artwork not matching the stats of the mech.
In this case i wish they went to make it accurate to the art and not the stats, though

by stats do you mean its quirks? if so they have nerfed it down to reasonable levels

No no no.
I mean its stats from the original Tabletop game. Its technical readout, according to which it's supposed to have both upper and lower actuators in his Gun arm (as opposed to the upper actuator only of the Artwork).
In MW:O it followed the stats and gave it both actuators (and i wish they had gone after the artwork and gave it only the upper actuator).
A bit off topic, but does the SCP in your name stand for SCORPION - the best mech in the inner sphere?

ahh alright I got yah tho even if it did have lower and upper actuators i think they shouldnt have made it so low

Of course PGI also created the exception:
Mechs that have lower arm activators in stats but not in the artwork - Centurion
The CN9-AH kept the low arm although not having it in the stats.
Same could be said about the Victor - only Dragon Slayer and K have a lower arm - afaik the VTR-9B in 3025 hasn't got a lower arm, and the next Victor artwork from 3050 was the 9K.
Strictily spoken the terms of lower arm activators have to be remodelled.
Arm Yaw range is limited without lower arm activator (but isn't increased when mounting hand activators either) - but you can have no YAW and still low-slung arms - (Nova A)

I think it's less about PGI making exceptions intentionally and more about them being lazy.

Oh I didn't said what was causing the "issue" - just pointing out.
Speaking of - arms - shouldn't the no lower arm Mechs be able to do the "Gray Norton" Maneuver, and if they can shouldn't those arms no be mounted (as in the Artwork of the Dragon) - speaking of the Hauptmann B

Anybody has Photoshop skills and mount the arms of Warhawk (eg) in the same postion?
Same for the Dragon, could be interesting to see how the "hitboxes" change
(Ok don't have PS Skills.... but - a quick glance would increase the Warhawks vulnerability towards ST hits)

got this from older posts for the dragon. I would imagine it to look like this but i would prefer having the arm guard gone and have it directly connected to the ST or slight low slung not going so low as to pass the CT
