Fair enough. Do it.

I dont really get the whole urgency over this urban mech. It's not like it's going to be a very viable light mech in the game. I rather they release mechs that will keep me alive a bit longer.

then you are viewing it wrong!


You see, if your enemy is in an Urbanmech, you WILL live Longer. Likewise, if your ally is one, you will possibly live longer, as your enemy will be busy killing them, instead of you!

Silver linings, man, silver linings!

I think you already have.... We've played this game long enough, I'm sure we've had the chance to kill each other at least once...

Taking it this way... Bishop has killed me so often, that might be enough for all of us

LOL, so true.

Actually, the Urbanmech is so small and light, I have an idea...

An Urbanmech Launcher! Think of it as an A/C500 or something . A team mate in an Assault (say an Atlas) equips the A/C500. Once the match starts, just walk right in the barrel. That way the Atlas can fire you in your Urbanmech majestically through the air as you rain down A/C10 and small laser death from above . Just make sure you aren't fired out of bounds .

I still think the turrets should be elevators from an underground garage that spawns urbanmechs (say a max of three per turret?). Little AI Urbies that guard the base.

That is the best IDEA EVER. I mean AI urbies instead of turrets. Love it.

[Odanan]

Because this is mech related.

Bah. Ok, fine! Just because I love you guys.

I would pay real money for a copy of that. That is amazing.

[Bishop Steiner]

Well, off topic, but as a way to try to break my recent artists block, though I would revisit that most controversial of issues.....
the reseen Marauder.

I've always contended that the basic design actually was not bad, just poorly executed, and actually made a lot more sense than the Unseen Macross version.

Not a way to make friends and influence people, at least if they are classic Macross or old timey Btech fans.

Well, simple fact, we will NEVER see the Unseen in Btech again. Some of us still want the mech regardless. So, instead of the multiple attempts to reinvent the wheel, I thought I would just redesign the ReSeen some and get some input.

one mostly true to the P-PHX TRO (save for repositioning the AC back to it's proper dorsal position)

and one with styling cues taken from the original unseen and novel descriptions.


Thoughts?

I love the legs, and hands, and the side torsos look really good. The cockpit looks like an Atlas punched it in, though.

I haven't heard whether the Timber Wolf will lose the shoulderpads in the non-missile versions, but I really think that is the closest we will ever get to a Marauder. It will be especially true if the ballistic hardpoint were to be mounted on top (instead of out of the front), but since no current mech has anything like that, I highly doubt it will happen. Maybe use that as a base, regardless?

while I would agree, if you extend the cockpit out, and 2 issues: 1) It looks too Macross like. 2) It is a hugely easy target.

True, but maybe use the Timber Wolf torso, modified with the flat front cockpit and your side torso inlets?

Both are amazing!
The second one is one of the most sexy mechs I ever saw.
