I understand its a WIP but...please round out that head. The concept is glorious, the model makes me think of the 'Pug Factory' cartoon drawing. Just....EUGH, round it out, please. (This is the only mech in the pack that I actually care about, go nuts 'gargoyl-ing' the others.)

The Gargoyle is beautiful! you just don't understand our love!

The head bugs me too, the lower profile head in the original art was better...much meaner looking. Now it looks like someone took the head and lifted it up to sit higher on the shoulders, then stretch the cockpit window and "mouth" guard vertically. It essentially took the more appealing and aggressive look from the original art and made the mech very vanilla and blah in one move.

I don't get it...what's wrong with that head?

[Bishop Steiner]

which would you be more inclined to drop IRL money on?

Thanks Bishop. A great visual representation for the point of my OP. (Though I don't have much of an issue with the right ballistic arm, MWO guns are MWO guns after all, it will probably look better with a (U)AC barrel)

The height of the head looks pretty much correct compared to the concept (a little taller maybe) but that flat angled face compared to the more rounded concept art looks...just EUGH. And the smaller windows in the concept look much better too, though I think it would be more tolerable if the head just got its rounded design back.

I like the Gargoyle in its normal form, the (I) variant's unique geometry was awful though. =\

I like the left more, but oddly enough... it was actually the legs of all Resistance mechs that made me buy the Wrath pack. Dunno why, but I seriously love the kickers on all these guys.

[Doc Sav]

I have to agree. I don't have a lot of knowledge of what makes good art design in a game, so I can basically just say the 2nd version looks more generic and far less Enforcer-like.

I'm sorta partial to this one:

[Brody319]

the head looks all wrong to me.
I prefer this





not just the shape, but the cockpit glass seems wrong. it should be a big visor, not a tiny victor head.

[Kilroy95]

I'd have to assume they squished the head for Cockpit reasons, Take the Vindicator for example, Limited Frontal view, And that's all you get, wanna look to the left or the right? yeah right what do you think this is, a Light?

A little too much girth on the AC...the original AC on the final model just needed to be elongated to give a more desirable taper.

Yeah, with the barrel I can see that too.

I liked the shape of the head on this one over the second option which is on the right for the original side by side image.

I like the lore head better to be honest. Makes it look unique, and not like a baby Victor.

Also the lore head looks like the Phantom Ranger from Power Rangers so thats pretty awesome.

I know, I already posted a picture from the lore head of the Enforcer. It looks much better in my opinion. This one looks like a Firestarter or Victor. The lore look is like a big visor. not a Clone trooper helmet.

You can hide the pedobear look, but I can't contain the wub.

Dredging my topic on the Enforcer head back up because I think the Porsche vs Beetle thing is a little inflated of a topic/title and making the issue seem more out of proportion about the mech than just the head.

As far as I've read the head is LITERALLY the only major issue we, as a player base have with the Enforcer. Some other minor adjustments would be nice (a slightly beefier ballistics arm for instance) but I think we can agree that those are minor things we can ignore.

The Point: Fix The Head
