I just wish the Draconis? invented the chiken legs for the original Jenner from the start. Because humanoid feet on the jenner just looks akward. I mena those legs right there looks so much better! Still gonna get some IS jenners though

[C E Dwyer]

They look Bloody aweful

So glad I cancelled mine

[TELEFORCE]

Those models look great, like they stepped right out of their TRO! I hope I can afford a Hunchback IIC pack before these drop next week!

...I love my Jenners, but damn, those legs look sexy.

Seeing the Jenner IIC makes me want the 25 ton Locust IIC so much more... x.x

It's got enough variants and even the stock 8 ERSL+1 MPL sounds quite fearsome for a 25 ton mech. I have a feeling dropping the MPL down to a ERML is going to be a standard option though.

Though I also hope for the Griffin IIC and Shadowhawk IIC... And with the Marauder, Warhammer, and Rifleman releases... The IIC variants of those. Though only 2 timeline variants exist for the Rifleman IIC, Warhammer IIC, ShadowHawk IIC, and the Griffin IIC... The Maruader IIC is worse with only one variant... But 3 ERPPCs!

Not that it matters, the Highlander IIC, Orion IIC, and Hunchback IIC only has a single timeline variant as well... So PGI get to work on extra variants already!

Mmmm, the pixelation on that camo, looks so sexy god damn awful. This release deserves at least 4k textures!

[Dakkss]

I really don't understand why on some mechs ballistic weapons/PPCs have to stick out so far to the point that they end up looking... 18+.

The Hunchback gets it's Ballistics only poking out slightly or not at all, why can't some other mechs get this treatment? It just looks weird and it's way too long compared to the original art. It should stick out only as far as the Ballistic weapon does on an Atlas' right torso. Which is to say not too much.

Longer cannons only look normal on mechs that were somewhat built around it like the Blackjack, Jagermech, Shadowhawk, Hollander, and so forth. And even then, other mechs built around ballistics have stubbier cannons built right into the arm/torso instead of sticking right out of it, like the Hunchback, Centurion, Dragon and the Awesome's torso PPCs.

Are they going to post the stream of the llc mechs or put it on YouTube because I missed the part when they were showing the hunchback llC?

[Jaegon]

Great idea, Vorarbieter! Some more random color swaps. (I like how the jenner looks like it has teeth)

This is so hilarious. The year is soon 2016, everywhere they try to sell us 4k monitors and every modern smartphone got hardly discernable pixels - but yet, in MWO you get the feeling of the year 2000 back again.
Rejoice!

And too bad that they cancelled special geometry. Some mechs really looked awesome and made it worthwhile to buy a package.
And to top it off: as always, the special camo is "special". And not always in a good way...

I'm thinking the "Undertaker" badge is a reference to the Highlander Burial maneuver. Where one launches into the air and performs a DFA onto another's `Mech, thereby, burying the opponent into the ground. This is figuratively possible, not relative.

yes.

Messenger (lightning): Jenner is the fastest 35 tonner in game and fastest clan light mech in game. One of the variants also is a narcer, but anyway, due to it's fleet foot and light weight it's a messanger.

Boom Box (Speakers): Reference to hunchback IIC's shoulders, if like they are boom boxes (and since UAC 20's pair... they sure do go boom!), also kinda looks like a boom box is on it's shoulders.

The Hunter (Bow and arrow): Orion is a hunter/ archer. So it matches over to here (which also has duel large lasers ER's, LRM 20, and Gauss. So it's also a long range mech as well).

The Undertaker (cross): Highlanders burial manoeuvre as you mentioned.

[Wildstreak]

That camo only looks good on the Jenner, looks like it has a mouth and will eat people (and it will). The others need better colors or different camo.

You mean like in the fashion that the "special" camo is locked to the mech and can't be replaced? So you're stuck with snowcapped mountains but at least you can change the color.

enjoyed the stream very much, if i'd seen it while the early adoption rewards were still arround i might even would have chipped in.

Designwise, i like all of them, surpisingly i like the jenner the most, the cockpit really got the oldschool vibe going on while the mech looks like the typical MWO fresh interpretations!

Was that info from the twitch stream or something? I thought that newer mechs were getting special camo instead of special geo so they aren't locked in. Doing a different default camo for one variant being easier than updating all the camo patterns to accept the special geometry sort of thing.

[Juodas Varnas]

I still prefer humanoid legs on the IS Jenner.

It's unique and iconic, slapping vanilla chicken legs on it, makes it so... Boring.

The only issue i have with the IS Jenner's legs is that the animations are terrible (but that's true for a lot of mechs.)

[SaltBeef]

Thanks for the vid! the mechs look good looking forward to these.
