Does anybody else think this looks 'tarded?
I'm probably the only person who loves the HBK-IIC-C, it's my favorite mech, which is also the only one with lasers on the arms. and even I don't like this change.
They're not even changing the IS HBK. So it literally would only affect IIC-C players?
The vertical arms is a big reason why I like the aesthetic, reminds me of a Summoner.

I know Alex was involved in getting a few Mech's stances changed, perhaps this was one he also wanted to match his original concept.
Personally I prefer the current model as it looks better with the arms down.

I also prefer the current arm positions to this.
Even if this is about the "Clan aesthetic", the IIC 'Mechs should blend IS and Clan styling cues, right?

Probably meant to be closer to the Concept art.
Which is hilarious that they actually changed it, why? BECAUSE NOBODY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CHANGE
There are so many changes people do complain about and they don't give a flying ****, but here nobody complained (heck, im pretty sure people were praising the change) and they decided to change it.
It's ******* hilarious.

Also I dont think Pythor would like it either..
Im not sure how they are positioned in the novels or tabletop for that matter. But even the cartoon show had them arms vertical.

Probably because most forum complaints are ignorant bs
Please let the professionals do their jobs.
I'm sure that we also could second guess every single decision you make in your occupation. But that wouldn't make your decisions wrong.

Just seems much more natural how it is - http://i.imgur.com/N8AFMPs.gifv
It even curves into the roundness of the arm, too.

If i remember correctly Bishop and a few others took to the twittersphere to ask for a stance change on the HBK IIC (similar to the stance change request for some of the reseens).

Maybe a bit more angled, but not as much as the current position. :-/

Fortunately I don't run the C very much (I like the A and so it doesn't matter too much to me.
