This looks to be a very fun mech to pilot, similar to the Madcat Mk II. I must admit, I like the visual appearance much more over the Madcat Mk II as well. The standard pack comes with superb omnipod options as well. Very well done, PGI. Now, the real question will come down to what walking animation it's given as well as the quirks that will be assigned. As it's an Omnimech with locked equipment, I'm hoping for some strong perks of taking the 8/8 omnipod loadouts.

Oh for God sake!! Why are his shoulder guns so small? Look at his guns on art and look at his guns on screenshots.
What a punch into my balls...
Blood Asp looks like Hauptmann from MW4 now but with two shoulder guns.

Yeah, I was hoping for long shoulder mounted weapons, not a mid 80s boom box on each shoulder...

Really looking forward to pilot this mech! Posted Image
Smaller guns are gonna be better ingame, but yeah it did look a bit better with the longer ones in the art work.

Edit: Love the badges btw, especially the standard pack one! Can we please please get a pink one next time though? Pretty please with a cherry on top? <3

Yeah, would make more sense to have it in the upper gun slot. Seems to be the case in canon though.

That being said there is D right torso with multiple ballistic hardpoints so there should be a way to bump the goose at least there.

Exactly my thought aswell. Looks like a clan hauptman...
And yes, make the shoulder barrels longer, flip the goose waffles and make the ballistics be in the highest hardpoints.

Seriously there is a huge difference between the concept art and IGM for the ballistic mounts and its so disappointing. I was hoping for the iconic long barreled ballistic mounts but nope we get what is essentially a sawed off rifle pls fix. Along with the cockpit looking too large to add another complaint about the model.

Huh...big difference on those shoulder barrels compared to the concept art. I didn't pre-order this one because I figured the huge barrels, while they looked cool, would have made the torsos an easy target. Now, with snub-nosed barrels, assuming the hit boxes are otherwise decent, I'll have to reconsider it.

Yeah, I have to jump on the criticism train and agree that shortening the shoulder-mounted gun barrels takes a LOT away from the appearance of the 'mech. I understand that it'll make the 'mech easier to side-torso, but honestly, having those shoulders protruding like that even as they are makes that pretty easy for any sharp-shooter. I'd rather have side-torso armor buffs and have the huge gun barrels than have tiny barrels that don't look right.

Along similar lines, in the thumnail that brings us to this webpage in the first place, the arm laser hardpoints are asymmetrically loaded: Rather than having mediums on the inside and larges on the outside (or vice versa), the larges are on the right of each arm and the mediums are on the left of each arm. PLEASE tell me that's just because the operator loaded the lasers out of order and they'll be symmetrical at launch, in the default configuration.

Love it, BUT I do agree it would work better, look better, and feel better :) if the ballistic mount was flipped to the higher spot and stuck out just a bit more.
That badge is awesome will be switching to it soon.

While it still looks better than average, I'm a bit disappointed in the 'flattening' of the mech. From the concept art I'd hoped it would be designed more round than flat in which straight on it would have a slightly smaller profile but at a 3/4 and side profile it would be weaker than a humanoid mech.

Those shoulder mounts also aren't the ones I ordered - they should be about 2/3rds as tall but extend out past my cockpit. Initial impressions I think I'll give the overall design a 7 out of 10; once I get into the cockpit and skill it up it may grow on me.

Like everyone is saying, the ST pods definitely look out of place being that tall, and will be a massive target for anyone shooting you. I wouldn't change anything in this design besides chopping the height of the pods in half if there is only 1 weapon in it.
