The Onion IIC's right arm energy hardpoint has moved to the top of the forearm instead of the middle of the arm where a hand would normally go. Is this intentional?

I dont know why they did it...they did it to the shadowcat too with the ppc in the right arm
Personally, i'm pissed, massively. I loved the look of my orion.
For some reason stumps are cool at pgi?

I rarely speak out when it comes to the aesthetics of a mech, but the positioning of the single energy weapon to the upper point (which I regard as the "secondary position") just strikes me as very strange. As Audacious pointed out, it looks as if there was supposed to be a hand where the stump is. I'd much rather have the the old right arm modeling.

Ewwww they really DID do it to the Shadowcat as well. What are they thinking???
Also, the Orion IIC is like that with a ppc too. I can see that by ruining it the way they did, it puts that right arm hardpoint in line with the right torso ballistic, but as a result it's no longer in line with the left arm. I don't understand
