I'm not really fond of the arms getting smaller at the end and I think the torso looks a tiny bit too flat/wide and long.

So, I did a dirty change in photoshop and made the arms bigger, changed the position a bit and slimmed the torso.


the original for comparison:

I agree arm design shoudl be straight throughout.

I really really hope that the special variant from the Collector's Pack won't get the cockpit with the bars over it like in the LCT-1V(P) (given the similarity between the cockpits of the LCT and MAD)...

Nothing wrong with the bars, wish we had them on more mechs. You must have started gaming in the easymode nineties when devs were too lazy to even make cockpits. -__-

[Nexano]

So much talks... Thats art concept you know that? Real model can be much different fro current image. Only cockpit looks like... Well... It's needlessly huge. In the it's look like "I'm here guys! Shoot at me!". But thats not main point... I just don't like how cokpit outer glass looks, i have no idea what's wrong but that's it - just like "not from this mech" thing. Stature and other parts are exellent but this glass... It's looks like a toy maybe... Still don't get whats wrong but it'crack all my good impression from art.

It looks like a mix between the Clan Marauder IIC and the MAD-4X the DC experimental refit.

Couldn't disagree more. I don't know what that thing is, but it ain't no Marauder. This is the real iconic Marauder:


That thing they're showing is some wannabe nonsense that wishes it was the iconic Marauder.

Right cause all the MWO art is super close to the original stuff. New Maddy is a very good representation

[BadgerWI]

I'm just happy we got a marauder that is not that God awful original reseen. Is this the perfect MAD. Nope but it pretty close and they'll be getting my $55.

Not with having bars like this:

Its fine and you can either pilot a non (P) 1v or a PB or literally any other locust instead of crying about it.

[Jess Hazen]

only thing i have to be disappointed about is that this not being a true marauder without its dorsal gun.

Yes!!! those arms!!!

Plus from another thread of similar design.

"This is a totally slap together job, but I feel that this would embody the name Marauder better.

Small cockpit, center line AC, straight arm cowls (not slanted), reduced air-intakes for less side torso exposure.



Legally speaking I don't know how it would fair, but that AC could be skewed more to the side torso, and a bit more cockpit could be revealed, and all of those intakes could be removed, I never really liked em on a mech that did not come with jump jets as standard anyway."

I wonder what role HG plays in this...did Catalyst scare them away with their previous announcements of re-releasing the unseens?

Nothing since Sony owns it now.

Tho if sue happy HG doesnt own it why change it at all

HG still "owns" Robotech (Macross designs, they never did buy the rights from the original license holder, as determined by the Japanese courts...), what they are doing is licensing out the rights to Sony to make a movie, Sony doesn't own it.

I disagree. I do have a really nostalgic relationship with the original artwork, and it hits rather too few of those highlights for me.

It looks like something that tries to be a Marauder but doesn't quite pull it off.

I might still buy it - because I'm such a huge TRO:3025 buff - but I'll have to see the in-game model first.

Pretty much how I feel about it

Not buying any more mechs before they put up screen shots

[Agent 0 Fortune]

A little too flat and a little too long in the torso. It needs a lot more depth to make it a marauder.

[FireBlood]

How about this comparison?

Thanks to Tennex for his superior photoshop skills on the arms.

I think that would be really cool for the unique geometry variant
