The shadowcat concept looks nice.

Only question is whether it becomes a headshot magnet or not.


I don't think it will be a headshot magnet, but if it is, I'll say it is a long range support mech so it should have a large head hitbox.

Of course it is a ridiculous statement, it was just as ridiculous for the Catapult back in the day too :). I'll just say it to push peoples buttons :).

Honestly though, despite the size of the glass, the head hitbox will be miniscule.

P.S. +1 to Bloodweavers head redesign. It looks much better and more true to the original IMO.

Agreed. For some reason that cockpit redesign is really taking it from Shadow Cat to ... some generic mech. That's like taking an Atlas and giving it a smile. Tiny, but drastic (IMHO) change.

LOL. I just realized this...but does the re-vamped Shadowcat remind anyone else of the mechsuit from District 13?

Arms are too low, but I can see what you mean at least a bit.

Just spotted this on Wave III page.
Not up-up, yet, but there's a magnifying glass over the silouette now.

Homeworld remastered just came out. Maybe that had an influence on his art because it reminds me of this:

I wish they would show the invasion variant vs the normal one.

I don't think any sci-fi in the modern age has no inspiration to the Alien franchise.

I'm was very underwhelmed too, but to be fair, the Shadowcat design was pretty good to begin with. I think a lot of people would be upset if they totally changed the design. After reading this thread, I'm kind of happy with the design, I just wish it had claws.

This isn't like the Centurion or Gladiator, which looked quite bad originally, and then was transformed into something more eye-pleasing. I also feel a bit numb to these new designs, because we've seen 60 different Battletech classics given the Alex Iglesias treatment, so I kind of know what to expect by now. The only big surprises are the mechs that looked completely monstrous, like the Viper / Dragonfly.
