Place your bets. 1-10. 1 being so horrible that they should redo the art from the ground up. 10 being the most beautiful mech ever created.

Art work is gonna be awesome, but I am more worried about the model.

[charov]

It is going to be a good mech but not OP because I don't think it will have the crappy hitboxes of the firestarter. Also, it's basically a brick with legs. Will see tomorrow.

Lots of newbies will complain about the ecm, though LOL

[Gas Guzzler]

Is it tomorrow or Friday?

I can't remember the last time Alex disappointed.

The same can not be said for the 3D modelers unfortunately. (Anyone looks bad compared to near-perfect success rate).

btw size wise is it suppose to be bigger than a misty lynx ? or same size?

Should be a bit larger, 25 compared to 30 . Then again, compare the Cute Fox to the Spider...

[Tennex]

long as they dont use the kitfox/adder scale

I think it will look great.

The only question is whether it suffers from Mist Lynx syndrome. Will 2 weapons (e.g. 2 lasers) be huge shapes attached to above and below the forearm like some huge damage-magnet?

Probably. I am more concerned about the thing's shoulders. Arctic Cheetah has historically had some serious shoulder padding going on. At least it has the option for 2(3) lasers to be torso mounted, like the Firestarter.

If it can armor roll like the FS9, I will be very happy. If the limbs pop off as easily as the Lynx's, however, it will be... annoying, but, again, with torso guns, not quite as crippling.



Comparing things, though, I am actually still MORE concerned they will give it awesome syndrome. Aside from the chunky shoulders, there is no reason the torso itself should be wide as a barn door. However, that is exactly what I fear will happen.

Alex is part mech god. Prediction; results between 9 and 15 out of ten.

[NextGame]

Sigh, I wish PGI would tighten up and prevent early artwork leaks

behold arctic cheetah:



clearly a 4/10 at best.

looks like s small aweosme, gonna be a bit too wide for the light classes, since this also means often a wide CT. Damn BT designs.

[Greenjulius]

I have never been let down by the concept art. Almost always great. The models aren't always perfect, but I am reasonably happy with all so far.

It is the functionality of the mechs that sometimes makes me sad. The Mist Lynx and Panther have been disappointments for me... slow light that gets eaten by OP firestarters. So... maybe I just want the firestarter nerfed into the ground.

[Tom Sawyer]

Just tell me where to shoot it.

[SgtMagor]

looks like a Tbolt , but none of that matters because all i care about is the Prime will have ECM, CAP, and Tag your it!

[Viges]

I'm pretty sure it will have the crappy hitboxes. It's called cheater for a reason.
