No. That's a TimberWolf standing on a WolfHound.

;) Like x10

Tho I think more than one Balliastic slot goes pretty far from the usual design of Stalkers being energy and missile. To be honest, I'm sort of hoping that maybe that's a PPC and not a Ballistic, regardless, PGI's getting more money outta me on this one. (see sig)


The LT weapon is a gauss, given that triangular barrels in MWO are the hallmark thereof. RT is obscured, CT has energy. Arms have either multiple lasers or possibly SSRM2 slots, which would be a neat way to limit the potential to boat LRMs for the far-off day when they are useful.

And the FD TW is great. Little longer in the nose, and shorted on the leg struts, and it's perfect. Though of course the MWO version will have 2 more SSRM6s facing forward, and look a little different.

The Timber Wolf looks really good, IMO.

they are going to add Orion? Always liked that one, and for no special reason, just liked it. BUT if they ad Orion, how can you not add the Mauler :D cmon, you know Maulers cool

As for the Mauler, no luck, as of yet. Not enough variants yet.

I thought you might like to see this.
Guess which awesome artist is making that cover art (it's still unfinished, but great already)?

I think the question of how will Mad Cat look has been finally answered.


I would prefer the Timber Wolf more like this: (from FD's DeviantArt):

The torso and proportions are more slim and aggressive.

And there is a small difference in the cockpit shape and location.

About the hero Stalker, it breaks my heart. I've been submitting to PGI for a long time ago my concept for a hero Stalker.
Here is what I was submitting:Posted Image

PS: the first texture had a goat skull in the "nose" (very similar to the later Pretty Baby painting), so I changed it, adding eyes. Much like this Misery now.

You can kiss goodbye the Catapult A1 if this hero mech was added haha

Also nice touch with the goat :ph34r:

Maybe it could do a goat scream after each kill? :o
