I still think it looks like Lego Technic.

It's a dang good thing the StormCrow doesn't have JJs...... or I'd be forced to up my Clan Pack....... Modelers doing a good job so far on the Clannies!

So... between the Ryoken and the Mad Cat, it seems like the Clan 'Mechs don't use differently-colored lenses for the laser weapons (as both the ERLL & ERML lenses on both the Ryoken & the Mad Cat are blue)?

well, all the lenses on my HBK-4P are the same color......

The color differentiation was used on the concept art, and seemed like an interesting thing that might carry over to the in-game models (and perhaps be used on the IS models as well).

I agree, but was simply pointing out that aside from the old geometry lasers (side mount on Catapults, Head and arms on HBK, which have the little red pewpews) they have never done it, so while nice I doubt the modelers will get unlazy now.

Heck, it's taken how long to get them to even acknowledge their weapon model scaling sucks?

[FireSlade]

They probably did that so that they could use the same laser model for SL, ML, ER/LL, SPL, MPL, and LPL rather than have to make a different model for each weapon and each mech (I still do not get why they made different weapon models for each mech).

They still have not....

I was never a fan of those creepy baby hands... but the overall model is terrific.

pages 13-14 of my Itty Bitty PPC page Dennis stated they are slowly redoing a lot of weapon models, so that seems indicative of at least tacitly acknowledging they are no bueno.

I saw that, and to me the wording seemed that they are either bringing the rest of the weapons in line with the current "new" models or possibly fixing them. Knowing PGI it is probably the former rather than the latter since they have a very hard time admitting mistakes and then fixing them unless it catastrophically breaks the game.

Unfortunately, I agree. I really don't like the "dynamic" weapon size, and would rather them design the weapon housing for each mech's hardpoints, then fill them in with whatever "lens" or barrel is loaded.

Any one else think the Stormcrow's hands doing "jazz hands" is a funny concept?

[InRev]

Rumor has it that the next hero is a Quickdraw with ballistics:

That engine is small for a QKD

True, but it jumps and has Ballistics. Unless one was going to use MG, it wouldn't have tonnage for a big engine anyhow.

I think more of scary movie 4's "Strong Hand".

You need to use a Dark Stone once you get to friendship evolve!

That QKD looks custom-made for dual LBXs. Will wait and see, but I'm pretty this hands-down clinches the Fang and Flame as the worst heroes... at least the QKD will have JJs.

Not a bad Champion loadout on the ON1-K either. I'd rather have an AC/20 with ML and LRMs but that loadout is arguably more versatile.

Was hoping for a BJ Hero... maybe next month!
