....but they didn't lypo the thunder thighs.

What's up with that missile rack on it's face though? Is that how the 9M mounts the CT missiles now?

Overall I like it, it also got 4 more structure in each side torso.

[dervishx5]

Yeah that didn't really fix anything. It's still a walking barn door.

I think they said something about a remodel later and this for now to try and help it.

huh, you beat me to it.

Compare it's Quirks yet? (hint, aside form a slight boost to heat gen on 1 variant, might as well be no changes, lol)

Minor buff in quirks.
1) All variants received additional buff of +4 Internals to each side torso.
2) 8Q received additional -5% energy heat.

I'm interested to see how the torso change will play out.

Is it a mirage or are the ppcs in the chest a bit higher in the newer scale?

[Deathlike]

Awesome, it's still awful.

Seems like it, though a slight one.

[xVLFBERHxT]

Had big expectations for the remodeling of my first mech. I love alex's design but this is not enough to make the awesome awesome.

[SlightlyMobileTurret]

Well, I've been running them ever since I started playing the game, and this is just more incentive to get my 8Q to a million XP soon™

really having trouble telling...I wanna say it's a mirage...it looks it..but whenever I try to objectively measure...it doens't appear to be... Mechlab comparo is not perfect, they say, compared to the ortho cam, but I guess I could try the old pixel count method (never was good with the overlay)

[Deathlike]

Just food for thought:

Even if you eff up the Awesome's scaling (which PGI successfully accomplished, twice), the best "fix" for the Awesome is increasing/adjusting the size of the Awesome's arm hitboxes, taking more out of the upper torsos and make them as part of the arms (as they should be, as it is kinda melded together for whatever the reason).

Still, this is not Awesome.

The PPCs are the same height but the side torsos came down a little making the PPCs look higher

Artistic license by the remodeler. They do it a lot for pics like the Kodiak that had 12 PPCs when they released the pics.

Mirage. In the first pick, you can see the PPCs sitting on the second black line in the background. In the second pic, they're on the same line but it is harder to tell because of the darker shading of said background. I didn't notice it at first and your comment made me wonder. Hell, I even got a bit excited. But, no, still on the same level.
