You are one of the few. The design shown shows strength, an aggressive edge, and a military bearing. I like it and can not wait to pilot it.

unfortunately We are in the minority it seems I would guess only 1/4-1/3 dislike this mech version or worse
about maybe another 1/4 - 1/3 like this as is - The rest like it but would rather have seen some changes

The design is good, but the only thing I don't really like about it is the helm... A huge glass area like that just looks like it would be too fragile when your being shot at by lasers and missiles. But just my opinion

EDIT: Taking a second look at it,I also think the fin/mohawk/crest should be removed and the helmet raised up a bit. "Centurion" brings up images of a tall, proud warrior, and less of the hunchback that it looks like now. But again... just my opinion.

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.

Nah, the coolness of the fin is ageless. It also has modicum of practicality as larger than normal surface area heatsink holder. No idea where you got the anime thing from, as that looks nothing like most anime mecha (no more than the Commando or Atlas anyway).

I think the Centurion, if I make a recourse to things I know from the past correctly, had pretty weak armor and a major flaw with the AC in his arm. Typical "so-so" mech, not a very good punch at long distance and short distance also so-so. Good support unit though, as it can help in both aspects, nevertheless unable to work sth. out when it's alone. My 2 cents...

[McDuff]

The Centurion looks great as with all of the new concept art for the mechs. A quick suggestion, could a picture and concept art for each mech be posted on a single page so we can compare them? Also the page could also show newly introduced mechs to the game. I would say that would be AWESOME, but I prefer the Zues.

[Javelin156]

Thats not the centurion. This is.

I will not be playing this title if this is what all the mechs will be turned into.

Can I have your stuff?

[SidTheKid87]

That thing looks WICKED!-keep em rollin= THX

I read this in the voice of Duncan Fisher.

[Longskatedeath]

I'm actually quite happy with the re-imagining of the Centurion; I would generally favour ANYTHING else over the Centurion in MW2 Mercenaries and Mechcommander cos it looked so weak and flimsy.

Now though, it looks like a bad ***, and that shielding armour plate on the left arm harks back to the soldier from which it takes it's name. Good work, team!

Flying Debris is the absolute best thing that has happened to this franchise for many years.

Their design are fresh, and look pretty solid and functional, unlike many of the outdated TROs, which share a lot more in common with projects for the father's day rather than with true war-machines.





(Actually, the one at the bottom right looks way way cooler than many mechs in the TROs.)

At the end of the day, it is only a matter of tastes. However, those who dislike FD's art to the point of not playing the game, are free to grab all the aged and outdated TROs and bury themselves with them in a sarcophagus, it that pleases you more.

Who knows, in a thousand years, even you might be worth something...

Cool! I would like to be able to fold paper like this!

It is not glass people. We should really make a separate topic about it being transparent armor.

Doesn't look anything like Yen Lo Wang but still looks cool. It's the 1st time I've seen a FAT centurion.
Too many doughnuts! We all love doughnuts and the new centurion does too.

[Denemigo]

i think that Awesome has better look

[Logan Winters]

Awesome piece of hardware.

Awesome Artwork for it.

[CabooseJr]

Hey now, don't forget Yen-Lo-Wang had at one point an AC/20 and then a Gauss Rifle and happened to have ditched the LRMs due to weight issues. Also, Kai Allard-Liao piloted that same Mech, Justin shouldn't get all the credit. XP
P.S. If ya'll do add in a melee component, a Yen-Lo-Wang variant with the Claws on the hand would be pretty damn sweet.

I like the design of this Mech. Always tought the head presented to much of a target sitting as high up as it does on the origonal design. On this mech you will have to work for the head shot.
