Its like if an Apache Helo copulated with a F117 and then the baby grew legs and jumped in green paint.

This new artful remake of the raven is the perfect example of "love at first sight"

Awesome work, whoever designed it! For the first time i actually WANT to pilot a light mech. I've always been a medium/heavy mech pilot.

Love the look. It's really similar but sharper.

Ya know... the French surrender to the Nazis is really the only significant blemish on their war record. Perhaps all the anti-French jokes could take a rest.

OH! and I think the new look is superb. The curvy "beaked" look of the original isn't all that military looking IMO.

i would highly recommend zooming in real close to that davion logo...

What stands out to me is that an entirely black sword is used instead of the standard silver blade and dark hilt on the Federated Suns logo. The other published concept art pieces with Federated Suns markings (indicating association with House Davion instead of the Federated Commonwealth) used the silver blade in the logo.

That sort of matches the forum art for House Davion associated people.

The other (unit) logo is for the 1st Crucis Lancers.

ohhh new mech oh new mech oh new mech lol

[Attalward]

Teh new look is really good, very militaristic and utilitary with the guns more packed into the structure very good

[rollermint]

Totally impressed. I was never that interested in the mech and was.t a fan of its looks but now, im liking the redesign the most of all the mechs so far. Fantastic job!

[Grendel408]

Really love the new design for the Raven... and all the 'Mechs so far! Definitely looks like a little menace now compared to the old drooping beak design of the TRO of old (and MC2's out of proportion size) Once again the Devs are proving my faith in never giving up on Btech Universe

[Romolus]

Okay, normally I'm a Raven lover... but I'm not really liking how this one looks. I might be looking for a new light mech to obsess over.

It's a First Crucis Lancers unit logo, a standard FedSuns (NOT FedCom) logo, and a French flag. Did I miss something?

[Spiralcrisis]

I am digging this new look. Never really liked the curved lines of the original.

[sheradin]

yeehaa the raven has arvied look out bad guys tag your it

[Storm McIntyre]

Another outstanding job FD!!

But I have to admit that now, there is a problem.

Beforehand, I had pretty much picked the Commando as my ride.

And now, you put forth this beauty, and I once again find myself undecided.

Ah, well. If life was easy, I wouldn't be a Mechwarrior!

Bird like, hmmm you mean dinosaur like, because birds are related to raptors like the dinosaurs

In fact, dinosaurs as monophyletic clade include birds. So strictly speaking, birds are not just related to dinosaurs but rather they are dinosaurs, the only living branch of the family.

(Clades are the "new" way of systematics, and the one that scientific community uses these days)

Anyway, i personally like the redesign over the smooth "Ferrari-beak" that the TRO one has. It looks more rugged.
