Yeah, would be easier to list those that are NOT cool.

IMO some of the absolute coolest are 'mechs you rarely see in-game.

Every time I see a Catapult swing open the missile doors and start lobbing LRM's, I go "HELL YEAH" inside my 'mech nerd brain. Too bad I rationally know the guy is probably isn't achieving much :-P

IMO the absolute best looking humanoid is the near-forgotten Vindicator.

I think the Phoenix Hawk is the best looking mech in game.
I dont really now why, but it just has that little something.

Oh, i think i got it: Its the humanoid Robocop look.
Liked that about the Vindicator, but it was just a little... wonky, i guess?
But the Hawk with its pistol style weaponry, helmet like head component and even the Robocop jump pack on its back looks just so elegant and streamlined. Love it.

What is the coolest looking mech in game in your opinion? Please do not consider game performance, only the 3D model and pattern (the appeareance in game).
To me the Huntsman is simply a great looking mech. It's really a beauty. Kudos to the 3D artists that have done it.

I really want to tell you it's the Mad Dog, but I can't. With the disgusting missile launcher positions and its laser barrels being puny boxes, it just feels like a knock-off of the Mad Dog. The Mad Dog has always been my favorite heavy mech in Battletech, so it makes me really sad that I can't love it fully in this game.

So when are you modelling my Scorpion, Mark? Posted Image
I assume it's half-way done already, right?
I mean, that's what you guys are going to announce at Mechcon, right?
Right? I know i'm right. Tell me i'm right, alright? Right.

The Raven for me. It echoes its name without being ridiculous and perfectly straddles the plausible/fantastic line.

But seriously I can count on one hand the ones I don't like. PGI's art team is amazing.

Hey Mark, the art dept should put together an "Art of MWO" book. It'd be awesome to see from concept to game for each of the mech designs the team have put together over the years. TRO style. You could contact Catalyst for help with getting it out thru their publishing inroads they've been building. Just saying.... I'd buy it for sure. ;)

Are you aware of the TRO 3028 fan project? It's basically what you describe, a TRO using PGI's concept art, but repainted with lore unit camos. The only limitation is that as the name says, it's limited to late succession war era IS 'mechs, in anticipation of HBS's upcoming game.

No I was not , but thanks! One thing I would like to see is all the art that hasn't been released in some form elsewhere. There has to be a fair amount at this point.

For me it has to be the Talon 1v(p) phoenix package version of the locust, if only mgs were useful and they got rid of that rollcage in cockpit view.

I bought the Marauders just for the looks. I didn't care how they will perform.

Turns out they are great ! They have great hitboxes and tank damage even better than a Stalker!

Count another vote for the Catapult. And a double vote for the best Cat, the CPLT-C1 (F). Such a strong, proud nose.
