I love the Arctic Cheetah. It's great to see LRMs being mounted in the shoulders instead of the forearms. Gives me hope that the Warhawk can get its arm missile mounts moved.

Not going to happen, because the launcher is lower arm mounted on the Warhawk like it has to be. This is how the mechs are looking.

Those are obviously no Prime variants.

The LRM10 is in the Arm. Don't get confused with the pictures. Some pictures are even wrong, showing the LRM on the right side of the Prime variant.

All this is just art, there is no right or wrong but we could start using the stock load out and weapon distribution as a base.

The sub text says Prime but it is no Prime variant. The sources are clear about the location of the C-LRM10 launcher.
The art on sarna.net shouldn't be taken as a fact.

Those mechs looks awesome for sure! Kudos PGI.

Are you blind? The launcher is in the arm, like in the official sheet.

Technically speaking the Warhawk has the LRM 10 on either arm. It isn't stated it has to be on the right arm or left arm.

it's often pilot preference of mechanics being lazy.

The very first one is a Warhawk Prime..

Warhawk Prime


Warhawk Prime


Warhawk prime


Warhawk Prime


Warhawk Prime (Left)


Warhawk Foxtrot




3 main areas the LRM 10 on the warhawk prime (and other warhawks) are located.

1) Ontop of the arm (on the shoulder/ ontop of shoulder)
2) On the side torso (on the shoulder / on the torso)
3) Split on the torso (A few tubes down in the mid area, few tubes up above)

There is not a single picture showing the warhawk to have a low slung missile on the arm.

All pictures total I posted are...

1) from the BT Card game. (Cannon)
2) Drawings from a cannon source (Cannon)
3) Table top (Cannon)
4) Fan art (Apocryphal?^)
5) Game art (Apocryphal)

Overall consensus votes that the missile is high mounted on the warhawk. This is NOT a weird thing as this IS a normal thing amongst all clan mechs. I have failed to find any pic of a low mounted missile on a warhawk that isn't MW: O.


Mechs that show this are...

Kitfox (D)
Timberwolf
Mad Dog
Summoner
Executioner
Direwolf
Arctic Cheetah
Warhawk
Hellbringer
Shadowcat
Mist Lynx...

Yes, all you see there is art made by people and their own interpretation.
The only facts, what you seem to ignore, are the location (arm) and the side (left). There is no right arm with missiles.
Look how different the launcher on the miniatures is compared to the drawings.

Well, I should add that the C-LRM10 on the MWO concept art looks different than the in-game model. Personally I dislike the result as well, while I ignore it by not slotting missiles in the arm.
I prefer the look with no missiles at all on the arm, neither lower nor upper arm location.
