Ladies and Gentlemen!

As you know, CGL is working on so called "Classic" 'Mechs, i.e. reworked "Unseen" 'Mechs from Technical Readout: 3025.

You all know and use that PGI-created model.

Now you can check the iconic command 'Mech of the Succession wars era - the BattleMaster - as envisioned by CGL!

BattleMech used by First Prince of the Federated Suns Hanse Davion, Coordinator of the Draconis Combine Takashi Kurita or Colonel Wayne Waco, famous commander of Waco Rangers!



What do you think? Would you like it as a special geometry BattleMaster in MWO?

[Dimento Graven]

Sure, AFTER I get my Marauder, Warhammer, Rifleman, and Hatchetman, THEN I'd be happy to get another Battlemaster.

Bubble cockpit for Battlemaster alternate geo!
Gimme!

[FlipOver]

So cute!

It actually has a hand holding the gun... Does it has a hand animation for each time it shoots that weapon?

Also, what an easy mech to headshot..

[Cyborne Elemental]

That is what OUR BattleMaster should have looked like from the start.

Thing looks badass.

[Revis Volek]

That cockpit is just silly...

You would die of Headshot in seconds....It Ct is ALL COCKPIT!


I honestly think it LOOKS cool but i dont wanna drive it in this game.

[Phlinger]

I hate to be 'That guy" but PGI already got their money from the Battlemaster, I seriously doubt they will invest any further time into it. Unless you can convince them to re-release the Phoenix packs so they can get more money, it just isn't going to happen.

18 months can't come fast enough.... /le sigh

I dunno, MWOs version is a bit blocky and non-descript but the Battlemaster that CGL put on the cover of Total Warfare (and all over its Battletech branding) looks pretty decent to me. In fact better than the original.

On this one I'd be happy to upgrade to the modern art and never look back

[CDLord HHGD]

Anyone know if CGL is planning a new TT RPG too?

[Hollow Earth]

Actually, i think the Battlemaster was actually the first CGL re-imagined "Classic" as a cover for a gamebook.

Honestly, if it's iconic bubble canopy is going to work, it needs be like the Griffin where it has braces and frames so there is a small "head" window or its gonna be really easy to headshot.

I don't like mechs that look like battle suits.

[TELEFORCE]

I like MWO's Battlemaster rendition more, but I do love how this updates the design from the original artwork.

It looks way cooler than the current version from Project Phoenix -- if Harebrained puts the Battlemaster in Battletech, I hope they use this rendition over the current one in MWO.

Oh, that actually looks like a Battlemaster!
I generally like PGI's designs, but their Battlemaster really sucks :[

Looks a lot like the original. I like.

[Y E O N N E]

Hideous. Much prefer PGI's version, that bubble canopy looks terrible on an IS 'Mech.

[Impyrium]

Love the way the CGL art is focusing more on bringing the original TRO art back rather than redesigning it from scratch. MWO is nice, but I definitely have a soft spot for the originals. Which is why I hope the new BattleTech game does its own spin on MWO's art assets.

Hasn't it only been 5 years since they published A Time Of War?
