Like the topic says, what are your hopes for clan mech redesigns? I guess i'll go first with the ever popular Timberwolf/Madcat. I found this image surfing the net and thought it looked pretty sweet. I think this was originally made by a concept artist working on a mechwarrior game a while back.

Looks like FallingDebris to me, so good thing he works on the concept art already.

Here's another favorite of mine I hope we'll get to see in MWO.

The mech that started it all for me. This is by far my favorite support mech.

Isnt the blood asp like 200 years off?

The Timberwolf pic is cool, but that is not a Timberwolf IMO, at least from the waist up.

If the redesign goes too far off the original blueprints I will be sorely dissappointed. I would stick with the original design, and just beef up all the joints so they dont look like p i p e cleaners, and probably remove a lot of the rounded armor for something a bit grittier and less elegant.

EDIT: WOW, it has to **** out p i p e?

Blood Asp is a 3059 mech, but doesn't really appear until the Great Refusal in 3060 (IIRC). I expect we'll get one or two timeskips once Clans show up properly, so it appearing isn't impossible.

Which is good because it's a great mech.

GO AWAY, PROJECT PHOENIX.

that blood asp is barely a 'redesign'.
just looks like a blood asp.

that timber wolf looks awful though.
took a design with a lot of character and destroyed it entirely by just mashing odd shapes together.

I can see how some may not like the design. I thought it was pretty cool though from an updated visual perspective. Still has that gritty feel to it, but it's updated like the difference between a car from the 70's as compared to now. I wonder what this would like modeled and skinned in 3D.

No.

Don't bastardize Battletech like what Michael bay did to transformers.

Actually that Mad Cat was a redesign somebody posted on these forums about 3 months ago.
