It's the new mech... let's start searching for the other pieces... (so far I got nothing)

PS: there is a "hidden" image in Facebook, but it is smaller than the other (and poor quality).
The 2 images so far, don't seem to match up in any way.

Here are all the 'tiles' so far, condensed.

Tiles 4 and 5 in the top row seems to line up decently enough... looks like the Bushwacker's possible hip and upper left leg section...

I think I see an autocannon in there....

Actually, that looks more like a PPC. Specifically, from TRO 3050's pictures.

yeah, it's a bushwacker. Circular LRM5 in one arm, (probably be butchered in the in game model) the manipulator claw is definitely bushwacker.

Yay.

Happy for those who wanted it... can't wait til it's mediocrity becomes apparent though, and the QQ that follows.

Depends if you go in expecting it to be OP or not... like the Phoenix Hawk, I went in, knowing she was going to suck, but I still wanted it.

But not like the art by Alex Iglesias/PGI...

Probably it's a LRM5.

Hey, check your biped-privilege! I identify with quadrupedal mechanized combat vehicularity and I will not be oppressed!
I don't care what you identify as, but you are going to use the hanger we assign you based on your original manufacturing specs not the one you feel like using because today you identify as an aerospace fighter(poor LAMs always so confused).Posted Image

I see a LRM/5 in there, and about the right shape for the Bushwackers LRM/5 arm too...
That does seems the best fit so far.

Shame.
Was really hoping for something decent from 3025 to possibly make a last minute addition of HBS battletech Posted Image

Not necessarily. PPCs in the artwork for TRO 3050 also look like that.

True, but they are not inline with the art style used for MWO... all concept art for the mechs are done in the art style used for MWO. That item you are calling a PPC is inline with a LRM/5 for MWO's art style.

Actually, this style more closely resembles the "head-on" view and style used for Clan mechs on Sarna.

Granted, but look at it in the context of MWO...

Linebacker:

Sarna:

MWO:

Same mech, but very different feels.

Both use PPC's, but the MWO style PPC's do not fit with the weapon system in the current image.

Yep. Could be the Bushwacker. Hey, all for it. More medium mechs are always appreciated. However, light mechs are being so left in the dust. :(

Look at the images for the Hellbringer and the Adder from TRO 3050 (Which is just as canon as Sarna).

I don't use Instagram, and I'm busy cutting and adjusting.

Post anything new here and I'll see what I can do.
