Woop dee doop.
Scaling video got posted.

Seems a bit small for a 75 tonner, but i'm not complaining.
Though i do weep for the catapult.

Small...

[Twilight Fenrir]

HAHAHAHAHA, OMG, it's sooo compact <3 This mech is going to be F*ing awesome! XL Engines all the way baby! (At least, as long as you can keep your front pointed right at the enemy... gonna lose torsos fast from the side, like a Stalker.)

Bravo PGI, Bravo <3 You have earned every penny of this sale <3

The in-game model looks amazing!

And have you seen the scale of it! It is going to be beautiful to pilot, PGI have outdone themselves on this design, just amazing.

I think people are gonna be very happy with the AC 20's size

[TheCharlatan]

It's lean and mean.
Still not sure about the XL freindly-ness, but it sure looks sexy.

[Steve Pryde]

Seems a bit too small. And the catapult is way too big.

And pls, give me the possibility to buy the geometry from the founder catapult, pls.

[AngrySpartan]

Never expected it to be that small. May still be quite balanced though - you cant miss that side torsos from the flank.

Maybe not the EXACT replica of the Founder's nose, but i'd definitely buy a pointed nose for the Catapult!
Also different Atlas skulls.
Centurion mohawks too!

Vote for custom geometry! Make yourselves heard people!

[Rogue Jedi]

it looks fairly well scaled against all except the Catapult, which weight 10 tonnes less, why does the Catapult look about 30% more massive?

Looks pretty slick. As for the Catapult; it has been notoriously oversized for some time. It was one of the top pick votes for the resizing (any clue where the hell the mech resizing went? Get a vote, disappears off the roadmap), so really, it's going to look oversized compared to pretty much everything in its weight class.

Still, nice and short, though fairly long. Reminds me somewhat of the Ebon Jaguar sizing. We'll have to see if it suffers from serviceable or awful hitboxes though.

They did the vote for mech re-sizing, then promptly said they won't have time to follow through on it right away with all the Origins and Classics mechs coming up...

[Twilight Fenrir]

Speaking of things never gotten around to.... Is the Stalker ever going to get a geometry pass? I think it's the only mech that still hasn't had one o.o

[Zookeeper Dan]

It's short, but what a long side profile! I love my Crabs for the same reason. I'm going to love the Marauder!

My only complaint is I wish the legs were a little bit further back in the torso instead of underneath right in the middle. It probably has to do with torso twisting though.

[Berean03]

Oooh soo shmexy! Can't wait to take that baby out! From the front it looks like it will be a bear to hit but that side profile seems to balance it out...somewhat.

[Moebius Pi]

If you take out the Mickey Mouse Missile Racks on the Timber, it's still the same height as a Timberwolf, but with a longer torso. Wouldn't really say the extra length really balances anything out comparitively, though the mech would look rather odd without that aspect so aesthetics trumps quite a bit, especially with an unseen.

If anything I'm more curious if the torso turret turns like the missile racks on the Cheetah's arms (almost looks like it -might- in some vids) to a greater or lesser degree, or if it's entirely stationary.

Still disappointed it's not CT mounted a small bit. Having an honest-to-goodness ballistic zombie would have been interesting. I suppose it just couldn't be justified given how many slots are generally eaten up by gyros etc.?

The Geometry pass on the stalker is completed, we just need to do a texture pass on it and it should be good to go.

Quick edit: the texture team has alot of stuff on its plate right now so there is no firm date on when that will be completed.

[Odanan]

From the front view perspective, it looks too small, but the side view makes sense.

PS: poor Catapult.
