"Headsot that Cyclops!"

"Wait do I aim for sir?"

"SHOOT HIM IN THE EYE"

"..... which one sir?"

Bumping it up, cause QUIRK RELEASE

Quirks seem to be on the low-side.
But i never cared much for quirks myself. It might as well be unquirked and i'd probably still use it.

From the front, it does have a similar design to the Quickdraw. Especially around the torsos and shoulders

Quirks look specific and unassuming. I imagine this will be the new trend on quirks. Give them some low and specific ones and see if it needs more help. But then again missile heat gen on the missile boat. That's the only quirk that mechs needs.

That +150 means +150 metres of sensor range?

Presumably.
I mean, it'd be pretty insane if it was +150%, hahaha.

150 metres seem reasonable.

Assuming the benefiting allies sensor thing is not a quirk?

[Lizardman from Hollywood]

Pretty underwhelming quirks. As it stands it looks to be somewhere between mauler and highlander in toughness and behind both in damage. I was hoping for good hitboxes to run a big xl but looking at that modeling seems neutral at best. AND THE SIZE OF THAT PRESUMABLY CT COD PIECE. This guy needs a cup.

Why must everything get crazy acceleration and movement quirks?
Either make the base movement and rotation acceleration higher or stop making everything fast through quirks. It's getting kinda silly and cluttered.

Somewhat makes up for the IS mechs esp the heavies and assaults being unable to safely run XL engines.

Seems that the quirk affects also allies sensors...

Oh... That's like... Lame way to implement it...

They should've given it unique "Sensors" equipment in the head component. Where other mechs have a generic "Sensors" that takes up 2 slots, Cyclops shoulda gotten the "Tacticon B-2000" in there.

So what do people think about the expansion variants having better quirks than the standard ones (in addition to at least equally good hardpoints and ECM)?

It's just PGI being PGI.
It wasn't enough for them to create make-believe variants... Got to make them better than the canon ones!

Now that you say it… Almost every youtuber told he was hoping for the eye laser. Instead we get the standard square blip sticking somewhere where there was just enough space. A shame indeed!

And this after I find the final Mech model not incredibly beautiful in general.
I guess, I’ll keep the preorder at least because I’d miss the Cataphract (L) otherwise, but still…

Well as the 'eye' is its radar and electronic's I'm rather glad they didn't do the stupid thing and put a weapon there

Right, it´s an "Alucard" then:

Alucard: "Sweethart I have so many eyes. Eyes for days."

Police Girl: "Eyes for days?"

+150 sensors. Sense all the sensations.

[Vellron2005]

I saw that it has an energy hardpoint in the head.. it would be sooo cool if we could mount a PPC in there.. than it would be able to have a "really deadly gaze"

And I can already hear Drop commanders troughout the Inner sphere telling rookie pilots not to pilot the cyclops cose' they'll "shoot their eye out" :-)))))

Hahaahahaha...

That's why I asked. With PGI you can' be never sure.

[Vellron2005]

Oh, and the head energy hardpoint should have been above the cockpit..

Has anyone else noticed that the map in the background of the picture, looks like a updated Crimson Strait?

Yes, I noticed the updated Crimson strait. I do not recognize the face statues in the picture.. they seem new to me..
