So today my joy stick died and I just not the best keyboard and mouse player. So while I wait for my replacement I started to just look at the Mech. In the Lab. and then I brought up the Site page that had all the concept Drawings up. I noticed a few things.


1. The new JagerMech looks like a cross between the original and the Rifleman.
2. That the Missile boat variant of the Hunch back looks like a Medium Archer.


Has anyone else noticed this? or am I just seeing things?

Oh yea.

The flee looks like a stubby locust.

Yeah. But on the plus side, I do like the new look to the new mechs so far. The TT Ceturion looked like it hadn't eaten in 6 months. And the Jagermech... well... it was... something different. While the new one does smack a bit of the rifleman, it isn't nearly as ugly as the original.

When I first noticed that the models were going to be a little different than true original designs, I was worried. But I'm quite impressed with the reworks so far.

PGI, if you should ever decide to bring in the Urbanmech, for the love of all that is good, please do whatever you can to fix it.

Now if they could only get licensing for some of the 'contested' but yet my long-time favorite mech desings... Rifleman, Archer, Warhammer.... Ahh... But I won't hold my breath.

Yup. I didn't like the tro design giving that I wasn't around during the TT time(and the fact that they are just too ugly to me compare to modern time). Then started to love MW4's design because that was my first real mech game (MW3 demo doesn't count). Then saw the MW3015 trailer, and learned to love MWO's design.

Do you know what I think is ship wreck design? MW Tactics. THAT is where artists went tard too far away from source materials.
