While PGI is likely still in the early stages of the Urbanmech design, what's your opinion on the mech?
  • Do you want PGI to make the Urbanmech look slick, or do you want them to keep it ugly?
  • If you had to choose, would you rather have PGI make the Urbanmech a bit bigger than you'd expect or a bit smaller than you'd expect?

I want my Urbanmechs to look like something that got banged together out back in the garden shed from spare parts.... Preferably after consuming an epic quantity of alcohol.

I preordered it just because I think it's hilarious. I want my trashcan.

We need our Urbie... the trashcan look... ish kind of urbie is familiar.
If I had the choice I'd go for closer to the original look but I'll be okay with what ever they come up with. It is an Urbie and that is all that matters. :)

I think the Urbie looks like an Egg or a Pill with legs.

Nice! But from the ortho view, I feel the Urbie's legs should be slightly shorter to make the whole look stockier, maybe the ground can end where the top of the feet are now.

The "Special Variant" edition should have an Urban Style Camo with all three colors swappable. One should be able to give it two shades of blue/gray camo and origination stripes of Blue for Police, Black/Silver/White for Highway Patrol or Gold/Brown/Black for town Sheriffs Departments., or if its the militia, whatever color of walls/rubble/fauna the local building architecture and environments' prevails. Use the third stripe for its unit's color. (ala Red/Blue/Green/Black squadron,,, etc)

It should NOT look like a leftover piece of junk some graffiti artiste got ahold of. Urbie Pilots got their pride if nothing else!
