Edit: poor Catapult... bigger than a mech 10 tons heavier

So small, so sleek, so deadly!

[AbyssalTyrant]

Much smaller then I thought it would be. That's a good thing , so used to being a giant target in my black knight

[Yardsail]

I love it, only problem is its side profile makes up for it being so slender! I can live with that..

That catapult comparison...

Looks like it'll be vicious. Hard points right up there with the cockpit, and the ballistic over the shoulder. Gauss + 2xERppc here I come!

[Torgun]

Every size comparison that involves the Catapult always brings the lulz, because it sure looks like it's 10 tons lighter than the Marauder.

meh..

seeing the 3d model on the screen, and the blue prints were big pluses, I liked them both, the final model in the mech bay leave me under whelmed, seems that the defences P.G.I used when everyone said this mech or that mech were to big, are now ignored and its gone one extreme to another


Also the cockpit area looks like the wolfhounds head, still hope for the best and it has a good cockpit design

Too early to say anything for sure, but it definitely has a tiny front profile. Looks like a medium mech from the front.

But that's a whole lot of side torso when seen from the side. I hope no one was hoping to equip an XL on that thing.

Anyone else a little concerned by the Marauder's abundance of badonkadonk?

Aside from being a target, it just throws the whole proportions out of whack.

After 3 years of extensive MWO experience, I still have no any Фokken idea, what PGI is thinking, while sizing mechs.
Total mess and no any logic at all.

[Antares102]

Lets see how much additional structure let alone armor PGI will give to the side torsos.
I guess none. Working as intended.

I like it as long as it gets correct quirks and hit boxes.

[Mordric]

She will be a fine Sleak Sniper!

[Lucian Nostra]

Ooof... they cut out that portion between the waist and body and it really.. makes the mech look like a loaf of bread... Feels like they also stretched out the body from the Orthographic as well

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

It looks great, but it does highlight some long-standing issues: the Orion is a tad bit too tall, and the Black Knight even moreso, and holy crap is the Catapult bigger than I thought it was - it needs to go way up on the rescale priority list.

[SgtMagor]

ok, it looks a little short for the huge torso. Catapult look better proportioned comparing the two, and its small, real small, did I mention that its small. doesn't seem to fit in with the style and size of the MWO mechs, other than that I like the mech...

[Lightfoot]

Well, I will tell you the Avatar became the top mech in MW3 PvP because it had the smallest profile of any heavy. It makes the hitboxes smaller and makes it harder to hit.

[BigBenn]

Pixel count anyone? Shorter with a sleeker frontal profile than I expected, however like others have said its backside hangs waaaay out there. LOOK! I bet she hangs out with those rap guys. Its just so big. Its just so.....

Anyways.... A cool looking mech, no doubt. I just hope the hit boxes are closer to the likes of the Arctic Cheeter vs the Victor.

[Chados]

Catapults are freakin' HUGE. They really need that rescaling!

The Marauder looks *great.* And this is the 3R(S), too.
