The pictures on the pre-order page were all just lazy recolors. For example, the Ravager has the full arm on the other side according to the info regarding actuators we have, but the picture doesn't bear it out.

Yes, I know, the preorder pictures are always just recolors of the same variant.
I was talking about the upcoming pictures in this thread of the different variants in house colors. Those are of the actual models, so the default weapons are correct at least. I suspect the full left arm to be a mirrored right arm and the stumped right arm to be a mirrored left one.

BTW that screen was taken in Forest Colony (Classic) I got very nostalgic running around in that map again and I hope you guys do too!

REALLY looking forward to playing the old maps again!

As it was speculated, the variants have different arm styles between them. Regardless of how viable this mech might or might not turn out, I will say that it's pretty cool to have drastic geometry differences between variants. I hope to see more of that in future releases.

Oh wow, did not expect this. Look at all those arms.

[Jackal Noble]

There's no reason for that to be diagonal. It looks weird and haphazard.

Sooo, which one is the Holiday hero?


Think of it like this. A high mounted PPC slot.

Holiday hero has the following hardpoints:

RA: 2E
RT: 1E + 1M + 1 AMS
CT: 1M
LT: 1B + 1 AMS
LA: 1B

Both arms are knuckle dragging height. PGI only posted one image of a double-knuckledragger variant, which is clearly the COR-5T based on having ballistic hardpoints in both arms and energy across all torso sections. The holiday hero doesn't seem to be pictured yet.

I wouldn't call the arms knuckle dragger exactly, they are pretty high relative to the top of the mech. Kind of a weird meld between a KC and a Battlemaster.

Know the hardpoints, don't worry
I am just curious will it be both arms or asimetrical because that looks sooo good on it But it seems the Holiday hero will have both hands

I SEE SOME PEOPLE DID NOT READ THE LORE FOR THIS MECH!!!

Read the Lore Page @ https://mwomercs.com/news/2018/11/2179-corsair-lore, and then you will not even feel like 'nay-saying it', because it will all make more sense to you.

Weird and haphazard, like a mech built in a junkyard?

If it was really haphazard it wouldn't be mounted at a perfect angle.

Oh? But what if the Internal Structure has a Mounting Bracket that's at a 45º Angle, just because of the Junkyard-Styled Mashup of how the Mech had to be assembled? Whoever pieces those FrankenMechs together doesn't have to stick exactly to the shape of whatever they are adding inside of the Mech. Personally, I think it adds a nice flavor of oddity to the Mech, based on the supplied Corsair Lore (https://mwomercs.com/news/2018/11/2179-corsair-lore) that we have to read.

That first screenshot...


...is that the original forest colony?

[Buenaventura]

I'm quite sure in previous countdown threads we had these pictures titled with the pictured variant. Matt seems to have missed that this time. Maybe we'll get that later?
