Those look great. With the insect legs the Grasshopper should be given a quirk to reduce falling damage.

And as your Sig reminds me every time I see it, headstomp damage.

hmm, maybe just me but im so underwhelmed. Especially after seeing the new clan mech concepts.

Loving the Zeus, and shoulders down loving the 'Hopper. It's just that head, it's looks like they took the cab off my hostler, centered it between the shoulders then slapped on that tumor of a "dynamic" launcher unit, then called it a day.

A Hostler, is one of those funky half cab trucks usually used for moving trailers around a freight yard, if you needed the info.

Nice!!!

Grasshopper looks better than anticipated. May have the best looking humanoid legs of all mechs currently in game!

Zeus looks as good as expected (aka very good). Tubes on the rockethand are glorious!

Edit: Special geometry is fine as it doesn't interfere with the creation of different patterns (e.g. faction patterns) for the special variants. Cause although the resistance pattern is nice, i still would like to have more ways to customize my special variants.

My problem with the unique geometry is that it looks more like those braces that they put people with broken bones.
I wish they would do geometry more like the one on the Phoenix package. Other than that Grasshopper and Zeus look good.

What was wrong with it? It looks like the art they showed.

Not only that, they're great mechs: good hardpoints, good hitboxes...

Some people will whine about literally anything.

So far I've been pleased with the ENF, especially the 4R. I really like energy weapons of late. So I'm especially looking forward to the mighty Zeus!

As far as the looks go, I like the looks of the Grasshopper, but I'm a little blase' over the stature of the Zeus. Being named after a Greek god, you'd think it would be a little more imposing. Kind of has a Victor look about it.

Cool name does not equal cool mech. Look at the Direwolf. It's a microwave that grew appendages. Lol.

This is true. I'm not unhappy with the looks. It's just not one of those "oh yeah" moments.

Wow, Zeus looks great. Need it instantly

Concept art on the Cauldron born? THAT is my moment.

[Stingray Productions]

awwwwwwww, snap!!! man, those two actually turned out looking EVEN BETTER than their concept art! Ha ha, well done PGI! I wasn't originally wanting to get the grasshopper, but now I will! Of course, that Zeus just looks sooo awesome! Can't wait for release!

[B L O O D W I T C H]

that antenna, thou.

Like a permanent 3rd person drone telling the enemy behind which rock the mech is hiding...

[Deathz Jester]

Zeus bringing the damn thunder and throwing lightning.


Still wish it had the shoulder fins though. :-(

Nice pictures !

Time to have that mechs in my hangar !

[sCOREscream]

Awesome.......very beautiful!

[Gas Guzzler]

Great!! Now let's see those quirks.

Personally, hoping that Grasshopper gets some laser vomit quirks. IMO, it would be cool to give it significant range quirks, but then increase the beam duration.
