CATAPULT RE-SCALE AND RE-MODEL

The comprehensive 'Mech Re-Scale is arriving in the June 21st patch! As usual the Patch Notes will have the full details, including an array of before/after images for a selection of 'Mechs, but we want to take this opportunity to give you an advanced look at the newly re-scaled and re-modeled Catapult.

While our other 'Mechs have received re-scaled adjustments to their existing models, the Catapult is unique in that it has been re-modeled from the ground up. With its new model and the scale adjustment, the Catapult will be the most drastic change you'll see from this re-scale.

We look forward to showing you the rest in the June 21st patch!

Hover your mouse over the image below to switch between the New Scale and the Original Scale.

OH GLORIOUS CATAPULT, SHOW US YOUR SECRETS

[Dagorlad13]

I like the camo! Also, it looks like the Catapult is more arm than CT now.

[Alistair Winter]

10/10.

Now that is a home run.

[Appogee]

It butter be better than the old one hur hur

But seriously, it seems like the resizing will create a meaningful change in this chassis' usefulness, thanks.

Are those... missile bay doors? It's been so long...

[Appogee]

Will the Butterbee be in the Mastery Pack, or will the (presumably remodelled) Jester remain?

I think he doesn't know about the rescale. It's strictly visual.

[Big Tin Man]

I may need to start buying catapults... they're the size of crabs...

[EvilCow]

I want, the Cat is back.

[Kali Rinpoche]

Kudos to the modelers and texture artists! Good work!

[Chimera_]

Holy crap, that is a cute little catapult. I'm definitely buying them now.

Also, look at those missile racks! So much better!

[Doctor Dinosaur]

Dem sexy racks tho... Nice skin, too. Too bad it's IS side

[LastKhan]

Will be in the 21st June patch notes...

[Juodas Varnas]

I am, however, interested how smaller missile launchers look like.
The ones in the picture show LRM15+LRM20s per box.

Any chance for pics of Double SRM6s? Or maybe even smaller launchers?

I am sure they will be releasing a video showing all of the changes soon.
