The worst looking Mad Cat Mk. II model I've ever seen. Never mind the bulbousness of the original concept. This thing looks absolutely horrible. I'm not sure I'll be able to bring myself to play it on release if it goes as is. The Mk. II has bowed legs, those look like crap, puny missile pods, those look like ***, gigantic freakin' arms, which while holding true to the original design are still way over-done, and a tiny cockpit, which also looks like *** crap. What's up with all the new models? They're hardly recognizable from art work they released on inception.

It looks fine to me. Out of all the issues you may have with PGI, the one area that PGI is fairly consistent in delivering customer satisfaction is mech porn and models.

Still I do think it is time for mech hats and eye wear accessories.

And moustaches. Don't forget moustaches.

As I said in the other thread, I wish the MCII had crouched down slightly more, but otherwise I am fine with its looks.

U G L Y madcat ain't got no alibi it's ugly yeah yeah it's ugly!

Looks ok IMO.

[DjPush]

I think the MKII looks fi e. The Uziel however looks like a hot mess.

I'm not sure whether I should relish the irony of the meme 'Mech coming out looking horrible or take pity on those fans....

[Gas Guzzler]

I think it looks fine honestly.

I gotta say, 90 tons is rounding out to be my favorite mech tonnage.... HGN, HGN-IIC, SNV, CP, and now this? I love them all. Mauler is good too but not as much of my cup of tea as the others.

Now they just need that Sunder and Kingfisher and I'll be set Oh, and Blood Asp lol, also a 90 tonner

Its too tall though. It is a chicken walker with a characteristic long, narrow, Cylindrical body. It should be much shorter that than the Cyclops it was compared against. Honestly if it was shorter like it should be, it wouldn't look so out of proportion.

Maybe its legs should be bent a little more, but Bishop's rendition looked odd... as in too low.

I dont care that it would make them into shield arms, but oh god they should be at least cockpit length so it doesnt look stupid as ****.

Happens every time there are some highly anticipated mechs that are released. If we ignore they will go away...

There was a ton of complaining about the Timber Wolf when it first came out, and the grognards posted their 80s art work saying "THIS is a Timber Wolf" when in reality if that **** was put in game that way it would look ridiculously out of place.

I think people just want the mechs to match the concept art that sells the mechs. Basically could be considered false advertising.

Eh. Concept art is a concept, I'm not gonna ***** about some minor changes more than saying "yeah I would rather it look that way". The mech looks fine, it looks better while in motion, and its gonna wreck face even better than how it looks.

'cept no where do they say that the art is final. I'm also sure that they tell you up front that the final model may differ... So they cover their asses on the whole false advertising side.

Still a higher standard should be held... More salty they said they would try and fix things and did nothing!

And capes.... don't forget the capes. Ice Ferret and Spider would look quite fancy in those
