OMG Ears! Huzzah!

[Vladosteron]

I Like the basic shapes of it! Honors the fact that it is one of the first Mechs to be developed for 200 Years in the Inner Sphere.

[Gas Guzzler]

Hmm yes I think those chest lasers will give it something to differentiate it from the Firestarter.. we will see how the quirks go.

Mine!

Mine!

[Tennex]

"The Howl" you guys are really running out of ideas.. and badge types.

I liked the [Elite/Veteran/Legendary] (Tier) Founder (Pack) naming system much better

For example
[Recruit/Urban/Expert/Lead] (Tier) Guerilla (Pack) - Resistance 1
[Vanguard/Warrior/Tempered/Commanding] (Tier) Invader (Pack) - Clan Wave 1

o.o What a wonky model... I don't mean ththatn a negative manner, it's very visually interesting, with that slender waist and broad shoulders... I don't care for how the chest lasers look, but that's the only criticism I'd have, I realize that's more a matter of necessity than artistic choice...

I wonder if the image is fish-eyed like many images of previews past...

I like the badge :3

[SgtMagor]

thx, for the preview. looks good!

[Juodas Varnas]

It does have this very Centurion-esque bodyshape.
Somewhat makes sense, since i'm pretty sure both of them are Davion designs (at least as far as i recall)

[Odanan]

I actually liked the badge and the title...

[Mr Wulf]

This one looks amazing and the badge ou jeeeeeeah guys!!!!

[Sigilum Sanctum]

Those shoulders are massive...

[Luscious Dan]

Yikes. This looks like something out of the mid-90s video games, not MWO.

The torso proportions look off (torso lasers seem way too big compared to the concept art, that's the problem with making all your resources universal across chassis I guess), and the upper arms probably should have been at a slight angle like most other mechs these days. Having the upper arm exactly perpendicular to the ground rarely looks good.

Sorry to say it guys, but I think this is a rare swing and a miss. The legs look fine, but the waist up is just a worse looking Panther. I always try to be constructive and positive, but I'm really struggling to accept this one.

It looks pretty interesting. I am feeling kinda neutral about it, I guess it will all come down to the scale, I hope it is around the size of the Panther. I think even stock weapon loadouts will actually work nice on these. As for the badge and the title... I think I will stick with my trashcan.

[Sparkymarkyp]

Kind of looks nothing like the concept art.

[Sereglach]

It's a great looking mech. It actually looks really small when compared to the grass next to it. I wonder how a screenshot of an Atlas would look taken at the same spot on Canyon Network.

I expected the torso to be a little blockier, but it might also just be the perspective and mild twist in the picture. The angle of the instagram snippet only has a really solid view from the back, which looks reasonably solid.

Overall I think it's going to be great and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

[stealthraccoon]

I like that it looks a little primitive and that the torso lasers are up high. The arm laser isn't a clone of the Panther and I was worried it would be tough to differentiate it from the other 35 tonners.

OMG... a clear cockpit window... with no view obscuring bars....


My prediction for this chassis based on crab and black knight:
We have 4 variants of this mech.

• WLF-1A: this variant will get heat gen quirks making it the superior wolfhound and making other variants DOA.

• WLF-1,1B : these will get random AMS/range/cooldown/duration quirks... both DOA

• WLF-2: this is the C-bill bonus mech... expect THE WORST USELESS quirks on this. Because its the special (R ) variant, hey... you've got the cbill bonus... right? we are not allowed to have fun and cbills at the same time.

I think that would be a pretty accurate assumption. look at the lol quirks on CRB-27 and BL-6-KNT which are already DOA/obsolete at the hands of CRB-27B and BL-6B-KNT.



PGI, understand this... these are energy only mechs... its all about heat, heat and heat. you should either give heat gen quirks to all or none. giving heat gen quirk to a single variant that happen to even have more E hardpoints practically kills other variants.
And please... stop screwing the special (R ) variants, i know, i know... paulconomy says that we can not have cbills and fun at the same time... because the world may end.... but... just saying!

No nose on the cockpit?

This is one sexy badge fit for the Wolfhound:
