Ummm where is the Cannon arm? I baught this specifically because the Illustration has a Cannon for an arm on the left side....#SCREWEDAGAINFORPREORDERINGPACKAGES #NEVERAGAIN

Some of the renders showed a UAC5 in the right arm. Likely just the devs testing the modularity of the model, not an actual in-game screenshot. AFAIK the pre-order page never listed anything but energy hard points.

Future hero mech, perhaps?

"The Black Knight always triumphs!", seriously though, I wish one of the varaints would have a sword like the Clan Buster variant does.

[Cosmic_Avenger]

Wow !

Honestly, the concept art was looking amazing but the model looks awfull to me.

That's my opinion, but i would prefer to have several week delay on all the pack and have a mech looking like it was on the artwork.

I don't mind it. It could be a little better maybe; from the art I was expecting a little more Thunderbolt inspired aesthetic, and we got a little bit more Grasshopper instead.

If you can put the energy weapons in the arm in using a different order, maybe you can get the PPC on the side like in the art. Not sure why the medium laser is below instead of above, but most mechs seem to be set up that way now.

I'm quite surprised. All other battlemechs of the game looks amazing to me. And i'm a big fan of PGI work on design.

I had almost forgotten about this new trend! Eagerly awaiting the Black Knight.

Most of us did it for the black knight.

Not me, I did it for the Crab and the Mauler.

_{I kid, of course; the Black Knight is pretty awesome, too! Guess I'm just a sucker for all of them. CX}

[Alekzander Smirnoff]

Oooh, that's one purty mech! I bought the whole pack for the mauler mainly and after looking at the wolfhound, crab, and BK, I said what the hell and bought the whole thing. Can't wait to try this sucker out!

[Serpent 6]

Doesn't look anything like the one used in the Resistance II sale ad page. Little bit of a let down. Just hope it performs.

[Gas Guzzler]

Look at this right arm. Both weapons are on the side, there should be no "under hand" mounted weapons, according to the concept art. ARrrrrgghh!!

[Hawk819]

good news: No MechWarrior 4 Bull crap. No Jump Jets on this version. . . PERIOD! And thank the Heavens for it.

Now I can get my pulse Boating going.

To be fair, the one on the R2 ad page is the special variant special geometry, which is not the one pictured on this announcement.

Thats because this is the Standard variant knight. Not the R variant with custom geometry.

So, a bunch of low-mounted energy hardpoints, aside from a head laser...

Sounds Awesome. I hope it gets the needed 25%+ weapon quirks...

IMHO, so many mechs, primarily humanoid mechs, could be improved if they only had the ability to bring to bear at a higher level their arm-mounted weapons.

[K19]

Badge need more 3D? bad

Seriously men. Mech that radius and this, the same thing .... .... this is not what you sold you. The design is not equal to or that you shows up. With you and always the same problem, if not you do not draw the mechs so ok. I'm getting tired ... and difficult to rely on your work so ever to deceive the guys. I was able to $$$$$$ men.

[ShadowFire]

Ugly camo scheme, hate the low mounted belly energy slots and I thought the arm mounted weapons were to be mounted out side the arm not under it. You do know your concept artist has a better vision than your model shop*. Listen to him!!!!

(* Except for the shoulder spike things..... Not Knightly at all, far too Mad Max!)

What are you on about? That concept art is showing the PPC (Particle Projector Cannon) & Medium Laser that is accurate to it's hardpoints. MWO's Instagram seems to show underhanded mounting now is the issue some were talking about.
