Missed the streams.
Thanks for the VODs.

Kinda wish the Grinner's grin was on the head and not the torso, though.

I do notice that the laser nubs seem to be different from the ones that are currently in-game. Seem smaller and identical across the mechs. Not sure what i think about that.

should have had the "S" head geometry.

Also, best K9 is gonna be RAC2/5x ERSL.

Bank on it.

The most important part of those videos was demonstrating that the right ballistic mount can still have a fair amount of paint applied to it. I was worried that the whole thing would be a mess of gun metal.

Also in the Grinner video Sean talks about rate of turn. Many people on the forums have been preaching smaller engines since decouple, but you still need better turn rate if you are trapped in a knife fight with another mech. Keep those big engines.

naw, most important part of the videos was Bombadil saying the K9 is the top selling Resistance Hero.

Well, most important part for me, anyhow, but I may be biased.

You should be proud, you pushed for and got a variant into the game. It's almost as good as getting a game mode included into a game...

Why *does* the Black Knight have a left hand? I would've appreciated the asymmetry, tbh.

HOLY CRAP, you're right!

No lower arm or hand actuators, why does it have a hand? Should have an ugly stump, like one of those Cataphracts (or you know... the arm being more akin to a Centurion's gun-arm).

because it makes perfect military sense to sculpt a fake non functional hand.....doesn't it?
