I actually really like the Panther, it doesn't look near as odd and gangly as the concept art, at least from that angle.

The Enforcer, especially the head,has a little too much Firestarter DNA, and the arms.... I really wish the weaponry was more impressive looking. In particular, I think the barrels need to be longer, especially on the AC.

You?

I can't wait to see what I can do with them. The Panther is much more goblinesque than I expected, but in a cool way.

The Enforcer indeed looks like the Firestarter's big brother.

I will reserver judgement until I can see them from the front...

[Jody Von Jedi]

I like them. I'm really looking forward to another 50 ton JJ mech. It will be a good transition from my TBT.

[Tennex]

enforcer looks a bit stiff but other than that i like them. just hopenthe scale is done right

[MauttyKoray]

Very underwhelmed by the enforcer, especially with that arm...just...wtf

I mean, it should be as long as the Vindicator's PPC arm (even that got snubbed) but either its the angle or its very 'compact' looking in comparison to the concept art and just seems off. Again, could just be the angle...these angles they took are weird. =\


Otherwise it looks great and stayed very true to the concept art in its design.

The Panther looks really good. I really like how you can see the fangs/jaw on the head, then gave it a real sleek look. Me likey.

The Enforcer, unfortunately, looks rather... pedestrian. It's just kinda boring. It looked like they tried to give it a cool chest plate, but it kinda fell apart everywhere else.

Not only that, but given the quirks - not part of this thread, I know, but it does contribute to my initial feelings of the 'mech - it's basically just a re-skinned version of the CN9-D. Which looks -way- better.

I will withhold judgement until i see it in game. I remember being extremely concerned that the direwolf had an enormous unshapely nose in comparison to the rest of its body, and it turned out to be PGI taking screenshots with a stupid wide angle lens or something like that.

And has better quirks.

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

I think they're both very pretty. I'm eager to get my hands on them.

special geometry is just the camo and the bullet holes?

Good Eye! These images do not show the Special Geo. (these screens are from testing)

[Jagermosher]

Alright! Pics are looking great, I originally asked about pics like these in a thread I started 2 weeks ago or so. So, seeing them for the first time is great. I'm digging both mech's geometries, the Enforcer is a niche I've been wanting to fill in my Mechbays for awhile now. Just hope they don't make it lanky like the Trebuchet or as tall as the Kintaro/Griffin.

Looks fine to me.

Ahhhh, great eye for detail!

I just realized it looks like a actual panther with eye and mouth design. Cool!

I actually like the odd heft to the LA of the Enforcer, but the RA just seems.... not right. Enforcers have long gun barrel arms..... it's actually very much a "signature" part of their look.

I think the RA and the height of the "cheeks" on the cockpit are really my only knocks. The Torso is fine, LA looks good and the legs are perfect. Overall, I'd say the ENF landed 7/10, on the model, while the PNT hit a 9.5/10 and looks at least from that angle, even better than Alex's concept, to me.

[DaZur]

Meh...

Show me my flipping Zeus!

[Navid A1]

Cant wait for the Zeus... The Steiner part of me has been waiting for too long.

[KamikazeRat]

Love the Panther, looks mean. Enforcer looks pretty sweet as well. A bit bug-eyed though.

The short arm on the Enforcer is the LBX10, so an AC/10 is probably going to be longer barreled, UAC5 probably even more so. As long as those don't go overly THIN, i think they'll look about right for the classic 4R.

It may be no Assassin and wish it was 5 tons heavier, but Im still excited for another medium mech to master.

[MikeBend]

Panther looks cool. Glad i bought it.

[mike29tw]

Maybe it's the wide angled screenshot, but the Enforcer looks unusually slim compared to Centurion and Hunchback......

XL friendly it seems.
