Oh right! It is modified now, but why? Yeah it looks much better now...

[Corsair114]

The old one was a bit of an oops. See, the Lyran knock-off won't come into service for awhile. The missile boxes were dummy-boxes on it. The lasers were supposed to be 2 Large Lasers, and that wasn't an AC5 on the right arm, is was a purpose designed, heavily-reinforced mount so that it could carry a Heavy Gauss Rifle.

I still don't like this particular mech, but I love this new art. If forced to, I could pilot it without being embarrassed by its aesthetics.

Great job!

[Harry Richoet]

The Mech Looks Great . Nice Work!

[Reb]

One word: UGLY

[verybad]

Never thougt of it before, but it kind of looks like a predecessor to the Vulture, at least the torso.

Other pseudo predecessors. ( IMO )
Thunderbolt -> Thor
Stalker -> Daishi
Marauder/Catapult -> Guess
Warhammer -> Loki
Charger -> Man O War
Locust -> Dasher (Look at the upraised arms, nto the legs)
Firefly -> Uller
Crab -> Blackhawk
Atlas -> Gladiator

I'm sure there are others. These are obviously not actual predecessors, but they share some looks and or capabilities.

A lot of those I agree with you. But the Black Hawk is a thing of beauty all of its own.
Nova has no turret, Crab has turret and long nose.
Nova is chicken walker, Crab is not.

I am kinda partial to the Black Hawk, and just wanted to defend it.

Errrm.. not so crazy about the design but keep trying.

[Seabear]

The Dragon loks like a light weight ARCHER (classic unseen) to me

[X Grunt]

Not one of my favorites, but sure looks nice.

[Javelin156]

Hey guys this is what the Dragon looks like.

Im noticing a sad trend here. Lets spice up the game and make it not even mechwarrior. Thats the vibe im getting considering people dont even want to use the customization or correct artwork for the models and rules. Im gonna rage!

Well, the good news is, the game is free to play. They have made a concerted effort to bring the styling and detail to a whole new level of "realism". No more having mechs look like they'd fall over in a stiff breeze, or appearing to be completely incapable of actually moving without tripping themselves, let alone participating in battle. If you still don't care for the art design after you play the game at least you aren't out any money.

You do seem to be in the minority opinion on the matter.

It's not just the choice of mechs that will fill our dropships, it's the choice of variants.
