No picture references to the designs from any Mechcommander game?

Mechcommander was an entire different franchise from "Mechwarrior I believe, and thus I have chosen not to include the design from the games as you never actually pilot one, you just control them from a seat in the backlines and tell them what to do.

What about the Father of all Battlemechs? What about the Urbanmech?

Urbanmech is on it's way

Harder to get the model from those as it derives from the "Mechwarrior" Franchise a bit and not as many pictures to pull up from the net about them, I'll try though!

Actually the Summoner listed as the "Mechwarrior 3 Summoner" in the original post is from the Mechcommander game-manual.

I don't know if that specific image was used in MW3's manual as I never owned a (legit) copy of that game, but that exact image was used in Mechcommander's manual for sure.

Timberwolf

Timber Wolf was always my favorite. I actually liked Mechwarrior 2's version the best until MWO. Here is how the Timber Wolf REALL looked in Mech Warrior 2...

That image posted by Scott Derek was from the Mechlab. I always thought it odd the Mechlab version and in-game version never matched up. Maybe they improved the graphics midway through development and they only bothered to change in-game models. Who knows *shrug*.

Reason being I used that one was because it was a clear white one, and the model was from the mechwarrior 3 intro:

And I haven't played the Mechcommander series at all, so excuse the error if I've made any, hard to find some images that are good.

But than again both games were made by the same guys just about around that time, and under the same banner but different path.
