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

They are a little single-minded on the color palette.

If you all will notice the Awesome is a BALANCED design.. with a minimum "doo dads"

FD got it spot on.. ! No extra things jutting out, etc.. etc..

and if you put it next to the other Mech artwork its just as detailed.. I don't see anything that looks rushed about it.. Its just a cleaner look which is what I love about the Awesome in the first place.

And now for the Liao mech. Steiner has Atlas, FWL has Awesome, Daviots have Centurion, Kuritans have Jenner and Dragon.

We need a proper mech to fight in, too. :)


This Awesome is just that.

But Adridos is right!

Vindicator next, please!!!

the awesome is one of my (and MANY others) favorite assaults. but the OCD in me doesnt really like the uneven weapons payload. i would refit it to two arm mounted large pulse lasers for fast tracking, fast firing rate, and keep the two torso ppcs for hard hitting.

Awesome always had an arm.. Unless its a 9Q then it replaces the arm with another PPC

This is the worst looking Urbanmech I've ever seen. Oh... wait.

I hear there's gonna be a surprise Mech reveal on Sunday... maybe Urbie?

You knew it was going to happen but still, I'm glad to see the Awesome making the roster. I've always had a soft-spot for PPCs.

Loving that Battle-Claw! I thought that the Dragon and Centurion's claws were a little spindly, but this! This will rip your arm off!

Thank you, oh Devs, for delivering unto us a triple-PPC monster, that we may smite our enemies with man-made lightning. And yea shall we watch our heat levels, as our scouts shall watch the horizon for recipients of our wroth.

I got ya. I thought maybe you were going for an older look like a century old design. Smoother, beige, dusty like an older mech thats been on an alien world long enough to become faded.

Looks badass, Alex. Another mech of yours Im dying to pilot.

That look complements it's specs, it could almost tempt me into piloting an assault.

Excellent work as always FD!! I wasn't expecting anything "awesome" to happen today! Glad you proved me wrong!


Now all I have to do is figure out how to beat that thing..... 3 PPC's and an unwillingness to die is one monsterously tall order!

The thing looks like the Hulk, but two tone. LOL!

Dammed that beast is Thick. Dammed thick. :)

I will be quickly moving my hiney to either 550m or 85m immediately upon seeing one of those thick beasts. :)

As the page was loading, I was saying, "It's the Awesome, right?" It loaded--it was the Awesome. I laughed out loud, in real life.

Also, if you look at the original Awesome, or any other incarnation of the Awesome, it has that plain, bland look due to its sloped armor. It sure didn't take long for its detractors to appear.

The Claw rounds everything up :)

Looks great!

Although what is up with the soft halo around it? Is it because this mech is the next coming for some people?

Doesn't look as "crisp" as some of the other art.
