MPBT3025, COMMANDO WARZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

absolutely freaking fantastic!!!!!!

[Garth Erlam]

That monocle makes me always hear "Myeeeeeees" when I see it.

[Helmer]

Looks like yet another great 'mech!

The Commando has always had a soft spot in my heart. Although I perfer other mechs, the Commando was the first mech I "owned" in The Cresent Hawks Inception.


Great job FD.

[Omigir]

So, no one else here is excited about the artillery? The well written story? Oh I see, you are all about the shinny picture! YOU ARE ALL INSENSITIVE! that story took time im sure and was very good. That and its a female pilot, that's probably why you *really* like it. Shovinists!

[Stormeris]

Never liked him, dont like him now, but still looks decent...i guess

[Demi-Precentor Konev]

I dig it.

Kinda looks like it has a monocle.

[Brakkyn]

What the deuce!? A 25-ton Lyran 'Mech!? Somebody must have filled out the wrong form.

In my opinion, it could do without the monocle. But of course, my opinion is only worth $0.02.

But...'MECH APPROVED! *stamps*

Well...it's a light. I was hoping to see an Awesome today, but I have fond memories of the COM-2D from TT and MW2 Mercs.

I still like the ******.

[Mason Grimm]

I approve this mech!

[Thorn Hallis]

Besides the head it looks pretty cool.

[AdamBaines]

I dig it. Its got a great new look to it but still keeps the spirit and general aesthetic of the original. Only thing Id say is I liked the way the original forward pointing antenna looked. Gave it an aggressive look.....but Im just nit picking there. AWESOME Commando!

[Chuckie]

Camparison time



vs



Overall I see it.. unlike the original though looks like he beefed up the head like an Atlas.. so it looks Atlasy''

I like it.. but its not AWESOME

Where is my AWESOME !?!?!?

[Lorcan Lladd]

Maybe it's the head design, or how small the whole 'Mech looks, but I think the Commando looks kind of, y'know, cute...
...Plus with that short range armament and low production cost, it sort of looks like a toy, to me.

I mean, it's awesome and it has got this military or maybe industrial feel to its general form; it's a really good looking battlemech with decent firepower at short range; I'm not saying it's not a good combat unit.
It's just a really cute combat unit.

Maybe that's because it's one of the more humanoid designs, but I think it is a really easy 'Mech to relate to and become affectionate towards - I think, it's not a 'Mech you'd deploy to the battlefield, more like one you'd employ in occupation forces or city defense.

I'm not sure I'd drive one of those, but I'd definitely purchase one.

[chewie]

the only down side to this baby is the *monocular* eye plates, otherwise it is spot on.

[Dihm]

Well it should be rather interesting to see what it looks like from the cockpit of this thing, with that patch/monacle! Looks very restricted, but at least less so than it was in the TRO.

I never cared for the look of the Commando, but this is better. I like that it actually looks like a 25 tonner! And I love that it has a six-pack (counting the segments below the torso ring), that was good for some chuckles. Pilot is certainly riding on those SRMs isn't he, brave to do that without CASE.

Well, it's definitely a Mech with history.

There are some areas in the Mech's designs that I approve of, and others that I think are pulling too much from the Centurion (which I loathe)

It has a wide stature that exudes strength in the fact that it's a war machine. But it also looks like a person. Arms, legs, head; this conveys a sense of weakness to it (despite it's 25T size) As it currently stands, my approval of the current Mechs is:

Wait, you're complaining about that fact that it is humanoid? You want it to be less humanoid?

Considering how pompus the Lyrans could get, I totally see this.

As for this art, very nice. I'll take a lance, the Lyrans need some battle armor anyways (Hogarth moment).

[Firefly]

The art is hawt. The fluff story, however... someone needs a few lessons. And an editor.

[Blackfang]

I LOVE IT!! That is totally awesome, I'm so happy with all the mech redesigns and this one is right up there with all of them. Thank you FD and the MW:Online Dev team you are definitely on my Christmas card list!!

[SaltedGround]

lets hope this game modles crits well or this will mech will never see a single mech drop...
