The Executioner is wonderful. It's a pretty kind of ugly which works very well for Battletech.

I don't like the piggy nose of the Ebon Jaguar, but it's otherwise a very nice design. I'm sure the old time Ebon Jag fans will be happy.

The only thing that makes me sad is the tiny size of the Ebon Jag shoulder mounts, because I have a feeling 2 shoulder-mounted CERPPCs will be ridiculously small compared to the huge, huge CPLT-K2 PPC-arms.

Aesthetics aside, I think that Executioner is going to have excellent hitboxes. It definitely lacks barn-door syndrome, that is for sure. I am now more excited to get these in game.

They both look awesome! I am curious about the Executioners crotch plate though, if that is all CT that is going to be a prime targeting location.

What part of it is the unique geometry ?

Luls, that tiny webcam on top of the Cauldron Born is adorable.

Holy crap they did it. They made it work. Its everything I imagined it to be. The cheeks on it are a bit wide and long, but it'll allow it to catch shots to its side torsos a little bit better and spread the damage better too. Now all that has to be done is put it right up against another mech so we know how big it actually is. But this thing still looks pretty friggen tiny.

Damn it ... i just got my new Pants! PGI! Give me Money for new Pants! Jeeeez ...

But Jokes aside this Couzldron Born is ... is ... i have no Words to describe it but ... oh ******* hell just give it to me already so i can build it in my Mechlab! NOW!

Fromt the Looks and, theoretical, Size from both of them they look better then i have thought they would end like. Lets hope for good Hitboxes otherwise i say PGI just made Points for me in the last Time since the UAC Buff. Keep it going and dont screw it over ... please?

It's actually a Saiyan attack pod.

I've commented on this multiple times but I may as well say it again, the executioner's eyes and face do not look even remotely menacing like in the Sarna art, especially the CCG.

Instead in the head-on shot it just has this smug or mildy worried expression, and seen from the sides like in the last pic, it looks almost just like the "Impossibru" meme face.

Its an Awesome, just look on the original Picture and zoom in. But yeah, a Mauler would be nice to see actually even though i didnt bought the Pack (have enough IS Mechs already <.<)

Pure awesomesauce! Glad I got my W3 package.

Any idea when we will get to choose faction content yet?

[Donnerkeil666]

Looks like a Kitfox and a Nova went into that cauldron..

Ebon Jaguar is brilliant, the in-game poses look very natural for its skeleton and aesthetically its proportions look good too. I don't know what some of the other commenters are saying, its arms look symmetrical except for the weapon barrels themselves of course.

I'm curious to see how the shoulder mounted weapons look from one variant to the next. Overall though very excited, it probably won't love being up close but long-ranged ballistics shouldn't be an issue.

Still not sold on the Gladiator, but the EJ definitely didn't disappoint in the slightest.

Close enough Actually the last few days I've been thinking the same thing, that the Jaguar silhouette is eerily similar to the MW4 Bushwacker.

I just choked some tears out of my eyes. The Executioner is very skinny, so yea, no barn door syndrome. The mounts in the arms are low, but that is to be expected. Overall, I love the look of the Executioner.

The glorious Ebon Jaguar. It truly looks like a giant killing machine. The art team did a good job on it. It's just..just.. *goes and cries in the corner* SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! 1 The profile looks very flat, so hopefully alot of shots will flat-out miss. It looks to be a very good ballistics platform.

Question: are the black bits the special geometry?

That is what I am guessing
