So I wonder why have the developers not gone with that design for the MW:O?
Also – to the powers to be – could we get some renders of the 2009 Trailer Movie Atlas in the Media section please?

AS7-C - A modification of the K model, the C model was intended to carry a C3
the d models are all jihad stuff.

First – the D model(s) are not all Jihad (3067-3081) stuff.
The AS-7D Atlas is the original model introduced during the Star league in 2755. That’s the reason Sarna gives this model as an example. Two of the newer versions and both post-Jihad are the AS-7 Dr and AS-7D (3136 version). Even the Clans made a version of the AS-7D, the D[C] which happened way before Jihad. Check Sarna.
Second – your post haven’t really answered (or tried to answer) any of my questions so it’s kind of a moot point.

During this time there where no notable variants of the Atlas available, exept the Atlas II.

Sarna doesn’t specify the addition of a Gauss Riffle. If you have other cannon sources confirming this, please give me a link. Besides, re-view the 2009 trailer please. The Warhammer’s IFF system identifies the Atlas as a “C” model. Is quite visible.

Atlas II. And that’d be?
I’m sorry but the main source I’m using is Sarna. Again, there is no indication to an Atlas II. Please feel free to provide me with another canonical accepted source if that’d be the case.

"AS7-C - A modification of the K model..."
And the AS7-K:
"AS7-K - An 3050's Combine upgrade of the Atlas that used rediscovered Star League technology, the K model was built with an XL Engine that reduced the weight of the engine by half. The 'Mech was been rearmed for long range combat, the 'Mech carried a Imperator Dragon's Fire Gauss Rifle,..."
Sarna is the ressource for both.
As to the Atlas from the 2009 trailer... it isn't an AS7-C, regardless of what the HUD says. The 'Mech shown fields an AC-20, the primary weapon of the AS7-D, the main Atlas variant in 3015 (the others being the AS7-DC and the AS7-RS).
And here's a link to the Atlas II.

I would think, succinctly put, that your preference of which Atlas looks better is merely subjective. In other words, you like it, but it's just your opinion that it's the best to use. And it seems the powers at PGI thought otherwise.
I'm not sure about 3D assets, but the 2009 trailer Atlas was developed in Unreal Engine 3, while the latest Atlas seen was developed in CryEngine 3.

Thanks for the link. My bad. Was just before my eyes and I failed to see.

What you probably want to say is that the scrambled eggs made in frying pan I can't taste the same as the ones made in frying pan II?
But I got your point.

Most likely an Atlas II C (clan) type. Thus setting the rarity into omg uber rarer than rare design.

Actually, I like both designs (using the Unreal Engine and the CryEngine), with the 2012 edition being higher in favour due to its buklier appearance. The 2009 edition has the cooler colour pattern, though.

However, now the game is in 3049 I wouldn't put it beyond plausability that we'll see some 7-K variants! The Draconis Combine were the first to upgrade their Atlases with Gauss Rifles and ER lasers, technologies they rediscovered before the Clans arrived in late 3049/early 3050. So it's possible that we might see some Atlases that have already been refitted. By and large though, I expect to see the far more common 7-D.

In regards to the qualitative questions concerning the Atlas, I feel that while the 3015 Atlas is much more grim dark, I feel this current Atlas fits in with the preliminary atmosphere and "feel" this game will have.
Plus, I doubt the 3015 Atlas, regardless of config, had a Hula Girl in it.
