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

I see what you did there. Watching them run around shooting at each other. Sucks to be us!

I have to say the new Catapult is awsome will we get different faction skins and emblems or maybe will we be able to make our own based on a merc unit in a Mech paint lab? orf part of our new mechlab?

Nice to hear, but you still did not undestand my question. ;)

I meant how good copies of the pictures are the models you made. If it looks exactly/nearly/not at all like Alexs images. ;)

If they include the UrbanMech, it would make for a great Easter reveal.

At least it will be easy to disguise them as eggs. ;)

@ Mason: He spammed two posts to tell us it is perfect, thus, it must be true. ;)

Nice job. I am really looking forward to a game that is built around current PC capabilities. I never really used the Catapult much but most of the mechwarrior missions never lent themselves to something that was so slow and so heavily biased with missles. Now if some of the scenarios in MO lend themselves to the use of this type of mech, well that might mean good things for this old design.

It is funny that while your sentence is true and I agree with it, one word makes it... well... funny ^^

Anyone notice from the bigger image that the Catapult has a TON of little cameras all over the place? And now that I've gotten a look at the image, I can take back my statement about the thin front armor. It looks much thicker close up, if that shadow behind the window is the pilot seat.

Also, uh, guys? I think its about time you cleaned up the Media page instead of dumping every new picture into a big heap.

Lovin' the high res pic. My only critique is that the MWO logo obstructs the "MISSLE MASSACRE" and part of the missile cover. Moving the logo to the upper left corner would fix that, but might unbalance the image. Moving the logo to the lower right corner might also work.

The redesign is simply is a beauty...

From the way that the missles are actually embedded and their warheads not sticking out to the little missle massacre gravity on the inside of the left missle hatch to the actual missle hatches themselfes that alot of mechs could use (looking at you Timberwolf)

Also its sleak design and the casing of the medium lasers on the sides i really like and the legs look really strong too.

Seeing the catapult i really have faith to see alot of awesome avian mech redesigns over time, perhaps even stuff like the Stalker or the Marauder.

Let us hope these mechs look as good in game as in the concept art. If they look anything like the cartoons from MW4 I will murder myself. You heard me Dev's, Murder myself. You don't want that on your conscience.
