It looks like a fat, sleepy phoenix hawk that became a football player.

This version of the Night Gyr looks pretty good tbh.

There is nothing about the original TBR I find visually appealing. It's very weirdly shaped, a whole bunch of boxes dangling from bendy straws and legs that look like they ought to collapse on themselves.

[CK16]

Missiles = Timberwolf, with ability to have good laser back up

UAC Ballistics = Night Gyr, its a given can mount the most of any Clan Heavy (and some assaults!)

Gauss Vomit = Both, I mean twin Gauss on both would take up a lot of tonnage and space and 3 of them would be impracticable (if even possible)

Laser Vomit = Both, though Night Gyr might have a few more tons to play with but giving up speed for that few extra heat sinks (or firepower if your a Crazy Clansman more about the guns then the heat )

IMO both will be great Mechs and offer a good play style depending what you need, the Timberwolf is still the perfect mech IMO of mix of all aspects of Firepower, speed, and armor. Night Gyr has more firepower but slightly slower and same armor (though hit boxes might give it a slight edge).

Those saying the new meta is Night Gyr dont know how to play Timebers right then

Ya know, considering how some of the crossover SUVs that came later look like, the Aztek isn't that out of place. It just was out of place in its time.

I never said the Night Gyr is good-looking, just that it's no worse looking than the TBR.

Also, for the record, my daily driver is a red 1990 Corvette ZR-1.

Are you nuts? the Night Gyr looks amazing!
I always loved the TRO/mini art and Alex Iglesias only perfected it.

Questions:
- Who is the Jade Falcon pilot of that gorgeous hero mech?
- What's the hero loadout? (will it have ECM like the H alt.?)

This is the mech I was waiting and will certainly buy!

[Hit the Deck]

I also like how our Night Gyr looks in general but to be fair, her head is a bit too big and the face looks too much like an eye. Alex should have broken the "eye outline" while preserving her unique cockpit glass look.
