Mr. Candycane was not always camo in flashy candycane colors and pattern. Minty yen lo wang camo changed accordingly. So why force a camo as uniqueness. Its hardpoint configurations (like with every hero and founder mech) are unique and distinctive enough. Forced camo takes away from game immersion.

It was painted in a snow pattern in Lethal Heritage when Kai was on Skondia
