hmmm but from that pic (3rd down on left) seems to be an awful lot like the devastator only mirrored http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Devastator

[ScrewCityChris]

Mechs go in order in weight from left down to bottom (4) then top right down (4)

1-Commando
2-Jenner
3-Hunchback
4-Centrurion
5-Dragon
6-Catapult
7-Awesome (my best guess based on the straight barrel-ish right arm, and the bent left hand, the hips and shoulders)
8-Atlas

Most exited about the maps and it looks like 3-6? based on name length. Can only make out one name "Secret Mech Base" as prev mentioned.

[Joe Davion 86]

hrm yeah looking at it a little more makes it easier to pick it out so no devastator.

Third one down on the left sure looks like an Awesome or a Mauler.

If it's one of those, then definitely Awesome.

If you look on the picture further left, you'll notice that that the top of the mech is pretty much on the same level, while with Mauler, you'd have those rocket launchers sticking out.

[pursang]

Let's be honest now, I don't think anyone here would be surprised if the Awesome was one of the 'Mechs at launch. I mean, outside of clan tech, it has to be one of the most popular InnerSphere assault 'Mechs of its era. It's all in the name - the Awesome is truely awesome.

Screenie to fuel speculation...

On the right hand side pic, top middle, there's a mech with it's arms stuck out quite a bit at it's sides and with no real head... what is that? Reminds me of a Sunder, but that is, of course, not possible. It's legs are kind of like a Novacat's... not entirely straight.

Any ideas?

PS I know it's not a Novacat or Sunder, don't kill me -.-

Hmm, there's not a lot of heavy-ish looking 'Mechs with barrel-like torso, no visible cockpit/head, and large gangly arms. Let me scan the TROs...

Flashman perhaps?



Could be a re-imagined Archer:

Neither of these. If you look on the silouette from the side (in the middle), you can see that it is pretty slim and i does not have arms sticking out as Flashman has. And Archer has more blocky torso, less humanoid in shape than the mech in picture.

It is simply a commando. The smaller head on the FD remake makes it possible to blend with torso from such a distance in low quality.

I don't think so, the Commando's head is quite large and obtrusive for a light- I think it would have been more then visible if it was indeed the Commando.

[Joe Davion 86]

blurry pictures why you no clear yourself yeah i def think thats gonna be an awesome. the middle pics on the right are more sketches of the immediate left. so commando, jenner (i really want a raven and the middles ones looks like one while its all blurry), hunch, centy for the left side pics. midright pic are dragon, cata, unnamed mech probably an Awesome, and an Atlas

It is definately a Commado. Look at those pictures again. There are side views and always the responding concept art to their right.
The one next to that "non-Commando" mech is the only one facing right from our perspective and quess which repaint is the only one with that "feature"? Exactly! Also, the legs and arms, everything fits nicely.

[Black Mamba]

On the right picture, the far top left is definitely the commando as you can see its in the same stance as the released concept art. However the one underneath the catapult, i have no idea what it is so it must be the 8th mech and most likely an Assault.

We agree on the fact it is Awesome. No other "seen" mech could look like it.

Can someone hit the 'CSI' button and make those clear? What, you mean that doesn't work? Damn you TV!
Henry, I think the picture you're talking about is just the Dragon face-on.
But in the left picture, the third one down on the right has a really broad silhouette like an assault (just check out how wide FD's Atlas is), but doesn't have quite the right shape in the shoulders. There appears to be large pieces that come up vertically. from the shoulders. Let's see how many mechs might fit that shape.

Awesome
Devastator
Hatamoto Chi

Did we just get an Awesome easter egg?

Edit: Oops, fixed now.

Yeah where is CSI when you need them, "Zoom in to the right and enhance". "Now zoom in closer on the cockpit go all the way inside, now rotate the camera 180 degrees and zoom and enhance again." "There on the dash I see the mech ID let's roll."

You all do well enough without CSI magic ;-)

How can you be sure I did not "enhanced" the image and then just found a way to justify my findings to others?

Next thing to "enhance", the misterious text next to the login button.
