Satisfying, and a good selection to at least minimally offset the close range MDK of the Atlas. Very Nice artwork!

9.875 stars of 10.

Looks pretty spiffy, I must say. Is this the first mech that doesn't have some sort of ladder going up its legs? It feels... I don't know, more smooth than the others.

The blue glow of the PPCs is daunting, let's hope people con't complain and want that taken out like the Atlas eyes. :)

The Awesome was one of those designs I figured FD wouldn't stray too far from.

It looked GREAT to begin with.

Cheers PGI and FD. Thanks!!!


What I meant more was it doesn't look as detailed. The other mechs have ladders, rails, scuff marks etc. This just looks very plain...maybe its the color scheme or what but - I'm just not a fan. *shrug*

I looks like some of FD's art where mechs have a smooth beige look that harkens back to mechs of an earlier age. The effect makes the mech look like it might be a much older model. I like it alot. Not all mechs need to look like theyve only had 1 tour. This one could be 200 years old. The PPCs look great! Cold, focused, charged and ready to rip. Im diggin the claw on the left arm

Partly the Awesome is a BEEFY mech.. no need for a lot of extras..

Also since its primarily just 3 PPCs on a big @ss chassis.. it won't have a lot of ports and things sticking out.. no SRMs, LRMs, MGs, etc.. so with that taken into account, thats why it looks smoother.

FD's sunken head design makes a lot of sense on the Awesome design. What i'm wondering is if there's a large laser in the "claw" arm :3

That would be AWESOME :)

in regards to the color...

it's hard to find FWL color schemes that aren't obnoxiously purple or really obnoxiously green

That could be it as well. It's just not my fav to come out. FD does great work, and this looks good as well - just not my favorite haha.


It's also possible I've been biased against it by a certain brand of pun or joke that overran its welcome. Either way I'm glad you all got the mech you wanted.
