I know, it's too late, the models aren't going to change, but that doesn't mean we can't think about it?
So anyway, what mech(s) do you, guys, think need re-modelling the most? Let's include everything, from just the Mech sizes, to their proportions, to weapon models (I'm looking at you Jagermech), to even complete overhauls (if you think there's a mech that is THAT bad) or maybe even just their animations.
I'll be starting with the fatdraw, eh i mean Quickdraw.
Because it, personally, looks like it'd need the most help with it. It's horribly oversized and even though the detailing of the mech is quite nice, the proportions of it are way off, especially when compared to its concept art. It no longer looks like a sleek, fast, agile, jumping 60 ton (which is barely a heavy mech) mech and instead it's a wide, fat, assault mech sized monstrosity that stands as if it has shat its pants (yeaaaah, the thread about the bent knees sort of reminded me of how bad Quickdraw got beaten with the ugly-stick).
What i'd propose (which would never happen) is to, first and foremost, make it smaller. Make it the size of a 60 ton mech. Then, i'd simply adjust the proportions of the mech, because the model itself is great, but the proportions just fail to deliver:
-The arms are too large and hang way too low. Soo i'd simply shrink them down. Not only it would look better and more like the concept (and the original TRO) it would also help the gameplay (higher mounted weapons are always better)
-The torso and the head is too wide, much wider than the concept (honestly, it looks like it was made and then stretched for some reason, i can't fathom)
-And lastly, the legs are just too thick. Though i had this gripe with the concept art too, but the model has legs that are even thicker! I mean, have you seen original TROs? Quickdraw's legs are thin as all hell!
I had way too much time on my hands so i decided to use my limited image-editing software skills to stretch and scale an Image of the Quickdraw to show, how i wish it looked instead of how it looks right now.
Anyway, what about you guys? What are your personal gripes with certain mechs that you wish were redone or updated? Maybe it's the dynamic weapon models, maybe it's the animations? Share them with us all. Just remember that it's probably not going to happen. Ever. Like, seriously.
UPDATE: Jump Jets
Non-functioning Jumpjet ports!
As you can clearly see, quickdraw has 5 Jumpjet ports. 2 in each Side torso and 1 in the Central Torso, which coincides perfectly with its TT counterpart.
HOWEVER, in this image, you can also clearly see that the Central Torso Jumpjet port isn't working! Keep in mind that, i actually had CT mounted jumpjets in this Quickdraw.
