its fun to work on something that makes for such good pun fodder

Alex, you made my year. This has been my favorite mech since I started playing TT in the early 90's and your artwork for it is fantastic. I can't +1 it enough!

Whats awsome about it?

I see a very basic and uninspired mech design...To be honest its disappointing.

[EDMW CSN]

3 PPCs to your cockpit. That's enough.

It's glorious ...just glorious....I think I'm in love..

Solid, but not in anyway menacing enough. Could be thicker on the X axis front front to back, also a little more haulty, like M Bison from street fighter.

That is a mean machine !!!

Q. Will MechWarrior® Online™ have Mech melee combat?
[color=#898989]
A. At this point in time we are not looking at melee combat. We may revisit melee combat if we can design something that is fun and does not compromise the overall gameplay experience.[/color]

I'm starting to wonder about this, as several of the mech designs they have put out have claws of some sort. I am not a fan of big useless appendages. I hope they either include melee combat or redesign the arms.

any ways, I was calling things awesome before it was the Awesome, so I don't feel bad for any kind of puns. keep up the good work.

[Kenyon Burguess]

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.

I was thinking the coloring and the halo look around it might be a nod to a lot for the re-painters out there. One of my issues when doing my first repaints was that in some places the darker colors were almost blending perfectly into the back ground and so was hard to mask off cleanly. Here its pretty obvious where the mech begins and where the back ground ends. Just look at the differences in the Awesomes legs and the back ground and previous ones like the Hunchbacks legs and the back ground. And the right arm PPC practically glows. If will easier to make different masking configurations.

At least I think so :-)

Makes sense!

The other mechs DO look more "integrated" into the background.

Its April Fools day.


Come on people! THINK! You're making it too easy on them. You know Prosperity is a compromised, brain washed puppet of ComStar! Paul is finding new and inventive ways to Troll you.



Cheers.

I can see it now, they announce the urbie on April fools day, everyone assumes its a joke and then when it turns out it wasn't everyone is shocked

God, we have to go over this with every new mech...

Just because it isn't used in the GAME doesn't mean it isn't used in the UNIVERSE. Removing it for the GAME means changing the mech drastically from its source.
