Very nice re-model, this is awesome. If there will be an option for this in the Mastery Pack I will 100% be buying myself a shiny new Mastery Pack...

Damn't PGI... (prepares to throw money he doesn't have)

I'm glad to see the hard points I do... and where they are... thank you.

Im sad about this, why the drop in tonnage? dont make no sense unless someone complained they were to tuff.

The mechs' tonnages are remaining the same. Only the 3d models are being adjusted (many mechs were too big for their weight).

[SkavenDC]

Looks great.

Anxious to see the rest of it.

And here I thought my catapults were just sitting idly in their mechbays.....the appear to have hit gym and shed a few pounds.....wish I could say the same for their owner.

Looks like great scaling and I'll look forward to seeing more of these back on the battlefield, well done!

[Cy Mitchell]

Now, THAT is an awesome looking Mech. If I ever buy another IS Mech then this might be the one.

The Catapult was my first mechs. Who ever redesigned them should get the Nobel prize for art. There is none? Then intruduce it for this person!

[BulletChief]

Hmm... i'm torn.

Visually I prefer the old one. Looked like a big badass beauty. It was my favourite when we only had 4 mechs. Especially the founder's variant with its nose. And even now, the Cat is my personal definition of a fire supoprt mech.
Now it looks like a puny baby.

Gameplaywise on the other side this is great! It definitely needed that rescale.

[Sparkymarkyp]

I've been looking for a new mech for a while now...

Guess this settles it. My Mad Cats are getting new little cousins :9)

Well done PGI.

[vortmax]

Hence the reason I purchased a Jester during the Hero sale!

It's practically tiny now!

[cazidin]

If this is any indication of how the rescale effort will go, I'll be pleased. Just as a side note the Battlemaster is much too large. I was piloting my Kodiak earlier today and switched to 3PV... yeah... the difference is quite negligible.

[McHoshi]

Good work on that re-scaling...

[no one]

Hmm. Yep, that will wreck things nicely.

[AngrySpartan]

Hooly Cat's! That is awesome!

I am exited about what they did with my beloved Mad Dog and Warhawk! With that stupid TBR legs MDD is way too big now, the size of a Timby almost.

[Ingga Raokai]

now tell me, if the K2's ppc bore also scaled down? i'm hoping to be about the same as current so that overall it will look like what it used to be before.

[Malleus011]

Now that's a nice looking Catapult! Well done. Excellent rescale work. AND you nailed the correct Butterbee texture. Home run.

Just one question - why does the Butterbee have 20 35 missile tubes on the arms when the Mech only has two SRM6s in each arm? Will all Catapults have 20 35 tube arms by default now?

Well. That is certainly a drastic shift. I may actually have to get back in my old, half-basic'd sale Jester for a while. That really does look enormously better. Well done, modeling team. Keep that work up and we won't even make fun of you guys anymore

[The Unstoppable Puggernaut]

Just so people are prepared:

[Greenburg Godzillas]

Looks nice... But who came up with the name? ButterBee? Really....

[Jody Von Jedi]

I'm looking forward to this rescale. The CTPT was way too big. QKD scaled down won't hurt my feelings either.
