Title pretty much says it all.

In fairness, I have never seen any version of Battltech or Mechwarrior actually make the Wolfhound look good. I though it looked stiff and uninspired in Alex's concept art.

And the Modelers look like they too k that...and made it even worse.

I mean, it It's Baby Shockwave.

And not cool, dynamic Shockwave:

but stiff, clunky 80s Toy Gun Shockwave


Performance? Won't know for sure till we play it, but not expecting even Panther level durability. Welcome one and all, to the FS9's inbred and inferior cousin.

putting the UGH in ugly....

I think it looks great.
But there will hardly be any peripheral vision it seems...

Actually, i think there are tiny windows on the sides of the head.
You can kind of see them in the instagram post.

I haven't made up my mind on it yet.
It has a cluncky, yet charming look.
Not everyone will like it, that's for sure.

I suppose I should be happy it's not another Big Robot 6 retread like the Cheeto

They sure won't like it when I ram it up their butt...ehm... park it in their ass..no, I mean when I cream all over their behind, yeah.

Throw a couple PPCs in there, and you'll have lightning nipples the whole team can envy.

I prefer the MW4 look for the wolfhound. This version...does look a tad on the ugly side. Am I still gonna get it when my mech muse goes up? Probably...it was always kind of a favorite of mine since MW4 and even on megamek it's one of the few IS light mechs I'll take.

[CDLord HHGD]

Only thing I do not like is the chest. They could break it up some by varying the protrusions....

[Narcissistic Martyr]

It has adorable little ears. That are probably gonna link the the RCT and get me killed. But, still adorable little ears.

It amazes me how people take the modelers to task for ones they get mostly right and looking good, like the Victor, etc... yet people get all protective of some of the ugliest ones, like this. lol

I'm sure people are just quaking at the thought.

Goddamn that one will be a son of b*tch to hit and kill.

Look at that v-taped torso! Jus like ACH.

SRMs, AC bullets and other stuff will flight right through it!

So tiny..! That means extreme good hitboxes like the Artic Cheetah.

I always aim high... right into that ginormous upper torso those shoulders do nothing to protect.

That thing is going to be a buffet for Gauss Jagers

[Speedy Plysitkos]

chm. passing this.

[1Grimbane]

Wolfhound looks like a Panther variant imo

[GreyNovember]

The most EASY to identify head panel ever.

[Hollow Earth]

That head cockpit should give us a glimpse on what the Stinger might look like. but without the cute lil ears.

Honestly, i thought the Torso looked a little too thin but i remembered the Wolfhound series are lights so i think it's okay.

[Alek Ituin]

Not gonna lie, it looks adorable.

[InspectorG]

AC is ugly????

Samus Aran wants to have a word with you.
