Nice they shortened the legs a bit.

[MeiSooHaityu]

Well, it doesn't appear to have missed leg day lol.

It looks pretty cool. I didn't expect the side scoops to be that big though. The scoops and the legs might look better or more proportionate from another angle.

I like seeing it with that missile pod above the left torso, but you know no one is going to take missiles for fear of losing that torso.

Lots of people are going to take missiles on it, because SRMs are nice, and a couple of LRM packs make for nice harassment weapons.

That missile launcher seems to protrude a lot from that left torso. That launcher is going to make for a good target to shoot at to knock that whole side out.

If PGI has good structure/armor quirks to offset, it will help. Heck, maybe they should finally implement separate shoulder hitboxes, Idk *shrug*.

In either case, if that launcher is part of the torso, I'd be very Leary in equipping missiles for fear it would knock out my left torso fast.

Those arms look like they are really far from each other. It almost looks like you can miss most mechs from both sides if they come and face hug you.

I will probably swap them for ballistic points and run uacs or Guass way up high and use the arms as armor.

I can see missiles being used somewhat, the builds that dont however i bet have a slight advantage with keeping the torso's.

But i am excited to say the least! The Executioner looks awesome as well! I cant wait!

My main complaint is the huge pelvis...looks like it's wearing a diaper.

Last screenshot shows how you design a tier 1 'mech hardpoint-location-wise.

Arms are also significantly lower than expected...because of proportions, they are almost waist height. This bodes poorly for those hoping for high mounts...

EDIT: $20 says it suffers from MDD syndrome in game...worse than even the MDD does too...look at those STs.

I hope so.

Those look posed to me, as opposed to actual animations
