So overall, GOOD SHOW PGI and

I hate that they're probably not going to post the concept art until well after the earlybird promo is over.

Mega sadface.

Don't forget the Concept Art often changes a bit for the production models. WHats true in RL seems to hold true in Games as well.


Corgi!!!

I hope pgi would not screw its legs, in the same manner of the mad dog.

I dont mind the EJ being a bit taller, as long as its arms are high mounted. The legs on that mini wouldnt work, literally, they dont have knees.

thats okay imo. if its arms are too wide apart you get nova/king crab syndrome. where half ur weapons land and the other half end up behind a building.

They are bird walker knees.

It's a chicken walker.

Also, its legs are in its armpits.


In MWO, it's probably going to be like this though:

I hope so. The first picture makes no sense concerning movement.

[Ovion]

Ah, but with the design of the unit, it does.

With some lateral movement at the top, to allow turning, the Ebon Jaguar (Cauldron Born) was originally designed as an Ambush Predator.

The design with the arms and legs both coming off the shoulders, allowed it to fold flat, sitting on its 'belly' and effectifly hiding the mech, allowing it to spring up and assault easily.
This came at the expense of Torso Twist, and quick turning.

The IS Bushwhacker was built on the same idea.

That is a beautiful model modification. If the MWO version is similar (with more squat shoulder pods) I will be in heaven. I do not mind the mech being a little taller. It is the in-line arms-to-cockpit and high mounted shoulder pods that make the mech fantastic. If you can see someone, you can shoot someone.

The Ebon Jag was my flagship mech in MW4, and, long before that, I fell in love with its artwork from the novels:



Such a sleek, sexy beast.

[RedDevil]

I'm not a fan of the right torso weapons mount to be honest.
