Why is the Centy thread pinned while none of the other mechs are?

Because it's newest. They were each pinned in their own time IIRC.

I'll be very interested to see if FlyingDebris takes the feedback from the Centurion and applies it to subsequent OH MY GOD.....

I JUST thought about what a Timber Wolf would look like if it was Gundamn-ized like the Centurion and I think I threw up a little in my mouth...

I am loving the game art! Please make this game great.

[Micropanzer]

Wowwww. Looks awesome.

Easily one of the best looking Cents I have seen to this date. It just screams awesomesauce *thumbs up*

Looks some stupid. This isn't MW original. Please don't make battlemechs are humanlike. They must be brutal irons, like in previous versions of MW series

This is less humanoid, more robotic version of the original. Most mechs looked like anime in the first days of BTech and this game is centered about those.

The mech you thought of is Commando. This up here is a picture of Awesome (slightly redesigned one).

Looks great.

because it makes them look better. They look more like machines and not stupid Japanese robots. This company has nailed what mechwarrior always should have been, forget the silly embarassing 80s look, They now come in a new flavour - cool.

My first post on this fine forum is to comment that this is the first (and so far only) redesign I dislike. In fact, I think I despise this redesign. So many things are wrong with it:

-It looks too anime-ish, with its splindly widely spaced bird-like legs. It should look like a boxy armored knight, or a CENTURION. Otherwise, it doesn't look like a Fed-Sun mech.
-The pointed crest again looks too Asian, it needs a rounded crest for that Western warrior look. For something different, they could have turned the crest to be parallel to the eyes like real Roman Centurion crests were. This crest just looks... wrong.
-The shoulder fin is a stupid idea. Roman centurions never wore such things.
-No proper head. The Commando got one, why not this mech?

All in all, this looks like a completely different mech. I never would have recognized it as a centurion unless told so. It looks like a Draconis Combine or Capellan mech really. The Battletech animated TV series version of the Centurion was 1000x better than this.

On the one positive side, the arm shield is a cool touch.

I want it. I want it so baaaddddd.

[Seabear]

I don't usually like new reditions of classic mechs but this one I do. Centurion may not be fast but is quick and carries one nice cannon.

[Battlesworn]

Great look, I always found them kinda plain but this one has some flair.

[X Grunt]

Good Mech! Not great, but as stated well rounded.

[originalvapor]

never played a game without a centurion in my line, I love this mech and it usually has my lance commander in it. can't wait

yeah i'm gonna have to repeat what's been said here. lose the stupid fin/mohawk. it was cool 30 years ago. not anymore. and no more anime mechs ffs. come on, flying debris, i know you're better than that. look at your jenner and atlas designs. works of genius.

centurion is the weakest design i'm afraid.

btw, for those who don't know, the mohawk on the centurion is the result of that 80s artist trying to make it look like a roman centurion helmet with the plume on top. it looks childish and useless.

[Ceefood]

while I agree with Cinco is this being the weakest design but I liked the roman crest only thing to me that tied it back to the original design the rest looks nothing like it

the other mechs were terrific & inspired art that still represented the original designs but made cooler/nastier - even the jenner loked like something I would want to pilot!! but this just isnt a BT mech too much anime/new age transformers (which is sacrilege)
