It shouldn't be too too long before you see something beyond concept. For now hope you enjoy these images as much as we do.

She is definitely a beauty. You can only imagine how good the madcat will look in the future!

Wow, why so sure now? You had problems telling us if it is a game and sudenly, you tell us the game is almost ready to be shown. No problem with that, however, keep it up.

Refer to his post in this thread from a few weeks ago. http://mwomercs.com/...t/page__st__180

EDIT: Also, Paul's follow-up statement really helps clarify:

"PGI has stated numerous times that we will NOT release information until it's BETA ready. While we do have assets that are BETA ready, it's not going to make a lot of sense without context so we will not release those assets until it makes sense and gives you the players the holy cow factor we want you to have"

I wonder what types of missiles will be in the game.

We could enjoy it a little more if you put up the big one

Plus, physics says that round, contiguous structures are stronger; its just that modern armor is better at being ablative when flat.

Maybe rounded shapes will help give the clan machines a distinctive look when they enter the game?

Copy from sarna.net

Catapult CPLT-C1 Jenny "Butterbee" - The personal ride of MechWarrior Jenny Templeton, this variant of the Catapult replaces the standard arm-mounted LRM-15s with a quartet of SRM-6 missile launchers, two in each arm.

Whats the true Catapult-C1?

A custom variant usually^* uses the base mech's model designation followed by pilot's name and/or design's nick-name. "Butterbee" was built on a C1 chassis.

^* There are as many exceptions to model number designations as there are rules. Many later mechs use a "C" to denote a C3 carrying model, but this is not constant. Just as K, M, D, L, and S models are frequently associated with a specific successor house, but not always. Many older mechs with a 5 in the model designator are late succession war/early clan invasion models (e.g., many mechs sporting a 5M designation use 3050 available tech and were manufactured in House Marik's Free Worlds League).

How ironic! Just as I was sitting down at my computer to see what the update today was, I was rather giddily saying: "New 'Mech, new 'Mech! I hope it's a Catapult!"

I had a good "HAHAHA!" moment when it was. The awesomeness that is coincidence. Speaking of "Awesome-ness..."

[barcode]

Awesome rendition. I really like the little extra touches (new cockpit, cut-off nose), too.

Any chance that we'll see a hi-res version of this image? :3

[Hairlok]

Lots o love for the art !

[Larry Headrick]

I love all the artwork so far thay are all great

[LordKnightFandragon]

Yeah buddy, I can handle a Catapult lol. Ofc, really? I can handle any mech they introduce...even the models I dont like....such as the Goshawk....I like hahaha.

[Adridos]

Lets just hope their 3D artist skills are on level good enough to copy the artists work at least by 95%. It is not that easy to copy from pictures.

HiRes image posted to media.

I see the red words clearly now "MISSILE MASSACRE", ahh that sounds promising.


P.S. Bryan, are you doing well with copying Alexs art? I suppose it is not against any rule to answer something like that.

I don't follow. Alex works for PGI.

I meant transferring 2D art to 3D art, you know what I mean. Can you answer me now?

[Bryan Ekman]

Ah. Lol. Yes. Fantastic. Watching mechs running around shooting each other is freaking cool.
