And now for the opened variant...

[Ghost]

Those D-clips on the bottom scream "truck nuts."

[Dagger6T6]

Quickdraw version - no doors... I always like my missle launchers naked, especially on the Catapult

on edit: shadows removed from top of launcher face
on edit 2: hinge nubs removed from launcher tops

I imagine the doors would protect the missiles from damage while they are not being fired. You wouldnt want your missile going off from a machine gun round to the tip!

Doors? I don't need no stinking DOORS, mayne.

I'm relaxing back at max range on the edge of the map raining missles 24/7 while eating ramen noodles.

but yes in reality you are correct

[Adridos]

You should brighten the rocket launchers on top with that exposed version, because there is still the shadow from the "doors".

Nice, maybe you could even delete that thing on the right top corner of it. It looks like part of open/close mechanism for the doors, but it is nice even with them, it's your choice. Thanks for brighting them, BTW.

[Dagger6T6]

thanks to a slow day at work here is both doors open

Now just swap the right one to closed and you are finished.

Great work Dagger, it is going to be interesting to see, what can our repaint artists do with it.

[Kenyon Burguess]

i like the writing on the missile shields. thats always a fun idea. if i had the artistic ability i'd love to have left side: if you can read this. right side: its too late.

here this should take care of the "left door opened and the right door closed"

Now for the ultimate: Make it a Catapul-K variant.

super quick, super rough mashup just to explore the possibility... with enough time and energy could be done i think

but Catapults don't go "pew pew"... they 'sposed to chuck missles!

I'd have to disagree.

Yep, I was thinking the K2 when I saw that

I dunno how canon it was, but Mektek made a Catapult spin off that used 2 PPC arms and called it the Katapult.

[Karn Evil]

That "Katapult" would be the Catapult K2. In Instant Action in MW4: Mercs, it's even identified by the targeting computer as "catapultk2".

The arms on this representation of it are a bit bulkier than I expected, which is probably a good thing, considering that it's a heavy mech carrying a pair of PPCs.
