Looking forward to some new angles so I can finish the pixel mech version

[sCOREscream]

New toy....yes yes yes...

[Scout Derek]

It will be interesting to see how this performs against the cicada.

[Aramuside]

For once those badges are actually good.

[MightyBolamite]

Looks pretty nice. I'm looking forward to this one.
Blueprints?

[VonBruinwald]

I like how in all the desktops they're playing the-floor-is-lava. Are they incapable of standing on their own two feet?

[C E Dwyer]

would like to see the FRR and LC Camo patterns

[stealthraccoon]

I kinda want to upgrade just for that badge and title...

Edit: yep, had to do it.

Would be nice to see it flat footed and get a better guage on how long those legs really are. Nice high laser placement tho. 2 lpl and 3 ml sounds super nice.

Gonna be a slow 40 tonner...

Whaaa?
SPL or git out!

[AdamBaines]

I am so happy I pre-orderd this one. I have been waiting since the announcement of MWO for the Assassin.

Much better at shooting down UAVs

XL280 fits with the 2LPL/3ML setup and armor shaved off one arm, 121.9 kph. No JJs and just the 10 engine-mounted DHS though.

Almost thought they forgot about the Assassin with all the FedCom Civil War hype.
It looks rather too wide to me, and I'm quite sad that they placed the cockpit under the top glass.
The Assassin was one of my babies in TT, though, so I'm hoping the added width doesn't screw the hit boxes too badly.

[MechLord71]

I would really like to see a side profile shot of this mech...see how far that CT sticks out.

[Bishop Steiner]

Oh wow....look at that notoriously cramped cockpit! That's going to cause spinal issues fer sure! The PCpansy crowd must have truly taken over if they are complaining about that cockpit being too cramped in 1000 years? My Grandfa would like to introduce you to the P38 (or many other WWII fighters, tanker positions, etc), if ya wanna whine just a smidge......

[Bishop Steiner]

It does jog pretty nicely though, that I will give it, though I would love to see some arm movement, a little pump and bounce.... especially at full run, arms are pretty vital for humanoid balance. But that's not just an "assassin" issue.

It is complete with the foot window just as I expected
