Supposedly the Mad dog shares the same legs as the timberwolf. like how the kit fox and the puma have the same legs. And the summoner and hellbringer.

Though there is a 15 ton difference between TW and MD. If they use the same legs, it might mean the Mad dog will get a hitbox of a 75 ton mech.

Hopefully they model mad dog's legs from scratch. (we might get lucky and get slimmer legs if that were the case)

Agreed

Or the Vulture might get a bulkier, more MW4-style body (minus the silly chin turret) rather than being the mecha-anorexic from the original TT artwork...?

Personally, I'm imagining something with the arms & legs of the MWO Mad Cat and the torsos & Head of the MWO Dragon (with the Clan LRM launchers for the Vulture housed within the (enlarged?) boxy sections of the DRG's side-torsos).

Is it just me, or does the color/camo scheme on the older K2 pic look perfect for a revolution? Viva La Catapult!

That was my go to, pick me up mech. Militarized Elegance. Not my most effective, thanks to the CT, but I didn't care.

I miss those barrels, they just look mean. It was the reason why I never ran lasers in my K2's arms. I really wish that PGI would come up with a standard size for all guns and make the mounts adapt to them, not shrink the gun to fit the mounts. Meaning that an AC20 on a Raven should look like the mech can barely stand under it since it is 40% of the mechs total weight.

[JudgeDeathCZ]

Bump.
Some bets on next hero mech?I would say Spider or Trebuchet.They have no hero yet and they have not weapon visual customization.

[Scrawny Cowboy]

Don't forget the forgetable Quickdraw
Though if I were to guess which were to be given a hero and visual update, Trenchy
Poor guy is next to useless with all these 55'ers, I hope they give it a hardpoint and tube count overhaul

[JudgeDeathCZ]

Quickdraw have visual customization AFAIK...

[Scrawny Cowboy]

That's news to me, having never touched those ugly things

[Jenkss]

Quickdraws do have visual customisation. They were one of the first mechs that had it I think. I know it has had it since it's original release.

Bring on a Spider hero! Probably more keen on the visual update more than anything else.

Actually no... I lie, if they give me a Spider hero with 2 energy points in each side torso and an 285 max engine, I'll be a very very happy mechwarrior.

The thing is they can not give spider more than 3 energy slots unless it will be slower than ECM variant...bcuz you know p2w...

Why do you say that?

My 5K has the same max engine as the V. Much faster than the ECM.

Just because its the max doesn't mean its feasable to actually run it that high.

I think that the Highlander has full weapon visuals since they all change accordingly. The only thing that it is missing is the rotating UAC5 but then again I think that only the Shadow Hawk has that.

Jagermech was the first one to have full visual customizations for ballistics

But I don't believe it has it for it's energy or missile hard points. Which is why it gets a (?) for partial.

oh i'd like d to see them flesh out the R/LT energy hardpoints.

Plus i'd really like it if they redid the S variant's missile tubes, to give it a unique launcher from the trebuchet. since they share the exact same model for launcher.

[Jenkss]

The Quickdraw has had visual customization since forever.

PPCs, energy points and missiles.

The Kintaro is at least partial but I'm fairly certain its complete since the chassis was released

Updated the list to reflect the changes.

Yea I haven't seen a Kintaro with a PPC so I couldn't say it's complete. Anyone own one to verify the weapon customization?
