Apparently this marauder and the MWO warhammer are going to make it into Battletech Game

and they will be in my command lance

I wish they would slope the cockpit into the flat of the nose, instead of jutting way out like that. I hate that cockpit toward the front, otherwise everything else is amazing. It just...eugh that cockpit nose...

Sad.
I'd much rather they used the Catalyst's Marauder design. And not just because i prefer how it looks, but also it seems to fit better with other IS 'mechs aesthetically.
This Marauder of ours is just too smooth and sleek, when everything else is clunky and blocky.

I'd still trade all unseens just for a Scorpion

Its too bulky frontally....
Marauders should be sleek mechs with a low frontal profile
Worst points :
Hull fins infront of the arms need to go.
Arms should resemble the cataphract arms ( ctf used marauder arms templates ). Upper arms should be a tad sleeker and longer.
Cockpit should blend into the point of the hull ...with a rounded shape.

Overall it lost too much of the praying mantis look and went into king crab gorilla mode.

I'm very worried......I thinking off rescinding my preorder of the marauder package over this.

The early sketch captured the marauder looks much better....trading hull width for hull length.
Marauders shouldnt look like smaller king crabs.

It would look better if the fins were halved width wise and make that part of the shoulder protection and not build the shoulders on top of the fin.

Wow, it looks exactly like the concept art!!111!!!

...too bad I don't like the concept art

[dwwolf]

Thats too far for me Im pulling out.....refund time.

Marauders are NOT supposed to be flying saucers !

I realy like the Design. Very detailed, clear lines...can't wait to get my hand on these. Don't care if its not the best mech around...just fight with style.

[dwwolf]

The marauder's original art torso is higher than its width. And thats including the pods. Compare that to the orthos svp....

Much better re-design:
Body aint too fat.
Arms are longer, for the praying mantis look.
Arm weapon pods are the correct shape, though updated ( flat on top ).
Cockpit has proper styling.

Autocannon is just a tad too big however.

I like it so far, cannot make final judgement until I get my hands on it.
