As the title says the art for the Vapor Eagle is just so sexy, it really capture the look the orginal but go beyond that. So far I rate this mechpr0n a 69 out of 10.

Would like to see yal opinions about the art.

I liked the Incubus better. If only it had JJs.

Hmm...

PGI's Vapor Eagle



FASA's original Vapor Eagle art.


There's like barely any resemblance at all. And thank God for it, because PGI's looks so much better.

Say what you want about game design but the PGI art department consistently nails it when it comes to mechs.

unfortunately that is their only redeeming quality.

[Quxudica]

How's it looking in terms of actual functionality? Is it just pretty or does it seem like it might actually be useful?

Actually PGI's design is much closer to the Vapor Eagle's redesign shown on Sarna, I think it the 4 that have the redesign image.

I agree completely. Really like the way this mechs art looks. Still not going to give PGI any more money (Black Lanner and then the Sunspider pack and recent changes slammed my wallet shut), but I really like the way it looks.

Nope. It’s basically the Goshawk II ( or Vapor Eagle II) which came in to play later than timeline. I could be worked over on this but I’m just super stoked to see the Goahawk in game. And ya, concept art is on point, even if it is the Goshawk II. We all have our pets and this has been my pipe dream.

Would someone please post a picture of the Goshawk II, so y’all can see it’s very clear resemblance? I would but on different phone.

A lot of recent mechs are poorly animated though.

You think the Blanner is ugly? Are you one of the devs? They might be as much deranged form reality .

The head seems to be a more practical version of the Redesigned Goshawk.

Yep, I'm not fan of Blanner design.

I much prefer Vape Eagle because I have bias in Japanese humanoid mechs

Also since when I'm with PGI? lel

Didn't knew this guy existed, and the art on Sarna reminds me of Eva's from Neon Genieses Evangelion. But thanks for correcting me.

[KoalaBrownie]

Incubus and then the Vapor Eagle? Seems a bit same-y to me.

Stooping Hawk would have been a better choice variety-wise, or even the Thresher. Or Conjurer. But Vapor Eagle is just an enlarged Incubus in a lot of ways.

My Anny is a superb tall pregnant african queen that fires death from her nipples while strolling unperturbed on the carcasses of her foes. Now that's what i call sexy.

That some crazy fetish you have there, idk if anyone can beat that.

well, someone might have a kink involving crabs, how woul you like that

Relatively neutral knowing that a certian culture in the world made a fetish out of crabs, but to their own I say.

[Mister Glitchdragon]

The concept art is good.

Chances are the in-game model won't be. I don't feel like the model/texture team at PGI has produced a mech that lived up to the concept art since the MAD IIC.
