Am I missing something or is camo still not available for the awesome? That's decidedly not awesome - do we have an ETA in that case`?

[MrPenguin]

If you have the PC Gamer skin, you can change the colour of it.

Also, ETA for actual Camo for the awesome is Dec 18th.

Still missing on the dragons aswell... At the moment I have to use the PCG skin just to get out of that horrendous off red colour. Now I have either a dark gray or a darker gray dragon... I really hope that this is fixed on Tuesday so I can make a nice blue dragon more in keeping with my name.

Yeah, when the mechs went olive-green a couple patches ago, some kept their old skins which can't be changed;

Commando - Grey
Hunchback - Black & Orange
Dragon - Rust Red
Awesome - 70's Office Beige

As said above though, until those 4 are brought up to date, you can work around this by applying the PC Gamer skin and re-colouring it, as you can any other Pattern (so far the only other patterns are Franken & Dazzle).

I'm actually quite chuffed that the PC Gamer skin was implemented as a Pattern, and not just a straight-up 2D Bitmap image.

IN all the column inches, and yards of whining, moaning and gnashing of nerd-teeth I've not seen anyone acknowledge this point, that what we all thought was a pretty mediocre bitmap skin has turned out to be a re-colourable camo Pattern which is far, far more useful.
(particularly because it has allowed me to kit-out all my Mechs in WSB unit-colours fro free)

I think it looks awesome.

All mechs can use at last one camo, although for some it is the PCGamer skin only (which not everyone has access to)

More camo patterns are coming Dec 4th (Urban Block for most mechs) and even more on Dec 18th, and even more after that.

This is one reason why I wont spend Mc on paint, till all options are in, so to speak.
I could paint a mech with make do patterns and then a few weeks later, a better cammo comes along..
