Can we get better previews for what we are buying? It took until running into someone in game to find out that the Moonwalker bolt-on gives it sick TIE fighter arms which probably would have gotten me to buy it when it came out over then Juggernaut.

Now, with the Seraph and Arges, we again have no clues to where these things bolt onto or what the War Horns sound like. Does the Arges' helmet go on its head over the mono eye? Do the Seraph's fins go on the shoulders like the BAS Predator special? Does the Seraph War Horn sound like a Fisher Price squeaky toy? What exactly are we getting with these?

It would also be nice to get a stock build code in the patch notes to not have to go to Mech DB to get one for testing grounds.

It's true they could advertise better the content. Anyway, I heard your call to help and here are screenshots of the bolt-ons (click on the image to see it larger):









And a little video with the warhorns:

THANK YOU!!!

Yah.. If I had ANY idea the bolt ons were that epic Id have gotten at least another 3 of them. The Marauder iiC, Supernova, Mad Cat 2 are at least 11x cooler than I EVER would have though. Especially the MAD iiC, I fully expected it to be some lame 'spine' only on the back!!!

Im beyond curious if you can headshot that Cyclops like that??? Never see enough bolt-on to know how they impact the damage. If nothing else it would make it extremely difficult but not much more than slapping a decal over it.

I don't think if changes anything but the difficult to aim for the cockpit. As far as I know bolt-ons don't affect the hitbox.

Ok well that explains those weird damn fins.. Always hated that Anime it made no sense and finished stupidly.

EVA is still interesting though IMO. Love the colors.

Thank you for posting this. I agree PGI could/should better communicate what exactly a person is getting when they buy a pack. I didn't even know the Arges head comb thing existed, or that the Dreadnought spines are a multi-piece set that includes the arms- the actual items are better than advertised, which is weird.
I also appreciate the info re: the Seraph. I've not watched Evangelion so I didn't understand what they were going for with that mech.

Could anyone post previews of the warhorns that come with the booster packs (Bloodname, Warden, Predator, etc)?

[SafeScanner]

if only the bolt ons had physics imagine blowing off the helmet or knocking off the sheild on the back

[RestosIII]

Wait, the Supernova legendary is an Eva 01 setup? Dang, they need to advertise this stuff better. This is the first I'm hearing about it and now I'm legitimately tempted.

If Epikt, or anyone else, could share pics of the Howl and Desparada bolt ons- and/or clips of their warhorns- that would be really helpful. I haven't seen either one fully kitted up in the wild yet.

I posted some pics and a vid of the warhorn elsewhere for Desperada.

Awesome, thank you!

The War Emu's Bolt on is LAME, love the Mech HATE the bolt on. Nothing but love to the Australia nod. Main grips about the bolt on

• Feathers are Mono tone.
  
• Feathers are SMALL.
  
• Feathers are FEW.

A few ideas to make it better,

• Colorable more detailed.
  
• LARGE like an Ostrich.
  
• Ability to put feathers EVERY WHERE.

I'd argue they should make the legends all visible in the store, but just open the pack page when clicked to buy; specifically so you can see stats/builds/appearance/etc quickly and easily.
