Short and simple suggestion
Nothing wrong with the head it has now, but looking at the wonderful concept art for the venerable Atlas, we can see some great alternate head designs.

could be an option for the house-based cosmetic item rewards, as well as to generate some revenue from the store!

nice idea, but most probably going to be a problem with the cockpit, as it's located in the left eye of the head.
Unless the head, including the cockpit could be swapped out on that design, it's going to be very hard to do.

[Redshift2k5]

A new interior might also be preferable! More work for the devs, obviously, but could be a bigger selling factor
Some of the alternate heads still have an elongated hexagon eye, so they could probably share the cockpit. They could be free/cheap and earned in game, same interior with a different exterior.
Some other heads have a round eye, necessitating a new cockpit. That could be a nice premium item to sell.

To me there are not many bad ideas, just some better than others...

[Aegis Kleais]

Chances are any changes to a Mech's cosmetics (including modified models) will be sold via the store for PGI to make some money on people wanting something that isn't the default. It should be one of the main staples for income for them, rightly so.

I would be very surprised if this wasn't the concept art for the various Atlas cosmetic heads you can buy at the in-game shop. This is how F2P games make money.

[CyBerkut]

They may do some of that. If they do, they will have to be very careful about hit boxes / damage modeling. That sort of thing can quickly become non-trivial.

I remember this was suggested sometime ago. And , in my humble opinion, is an AWESOME suggestion. (No Pun intended. It's good for Atlas' too)

I would love to see slight variations like that.

i have no problem with this, as i already think the current mech design is the best. but the others are also nice enough that i don't care if spend thrifts buy it and i have to see it in game.

though i will have a problem if they purposely design crappy mech heads/cockpit just to sell us the good designs later on.
