Exactly. I would personally prefer humanoid hands on the T-bolt, but the claws work too. They just need to have some heft to them. I am also liking the Shadow Hawk's double thumb hand more and more. One thumb good, two thumbs better!

so your friend can sit on your thumbs too?

I'm an optimist. If the modellers get the hint early enough in development, MAYBE they won't screw it up TOO bad?

Heh heh heh. At least the 'visor' over the cockpit makes some sense to shade the pilot, if nothing else.

*Also ain't she just gorgeous in blue? :)

mongo sad....... my PC is still.... DOA.

And my laptop just ain't the same. Need to get it diagnosed, soon. :unsure:

I did discover today that my new i7 Windows 8 Laptop plays MW4 flawlessly though..... odd since it was unplayable on my Windows 7 Desktop. It also likes my Sidewinder Precision Pro, quite a bit........

I think the sizing for the locust and shadow hawk we're still too big.

Shadow hawk is only 10 tone lighter than the Thunderbolt and much thinner. There would not be near as much difference. And the Locust is largely scaled to the Hawk.

A Locust is only about 8 meters tall, while the tallest mech the Banshee is only about 14. I'm not using PGIs ridiculous magic space dust scale.

I don't think we will get a mech announcement anytime soon as we now have announced mechs through January of next year. Although I wasn't expecting the Phoenix Mechs Announcement either.

Yep, we'll miss a huge amount of new mechs announcements. Or maybe they'll detail each Phoenix mech with the usual detailed art and story anyway

That would be nice, cause i need the usual pictures for our mech database at our forums and the "Repainted Concept Art Thread" could use these pictures, too! :D
