That's... not bad, actually. I could live with that. Move the shoulderjoints forwards a bit and then make some changes to the cockpit windows so it looks a little less like a Catapult torso and I think we've got a good candidate for a Marauder. It's certainly a lot more recognizable as a marauder than the Project Phoenix version.
Thanks! This was just a quick cut 'n' paste job with a few transformations (image flips, resizes, etc.), and I drew in the rest of the rear torso that was hidden by the Catapult arm that I removed.
I'm actually working on another version where I move the arms a little forward and lower, so that the shoulder is just below that faction logo. I'm also going to be doing some more work to the cockpit to make the scale of the 'mech look a little bigger (and make the cockpit look like less of a giant target than the Catapult), remove the torso Catapult hardpoints, and recolor the whole thing. The hardest thing I think will be trying to position the torso and arms so they wouldn't get in the way of the legs when torso twisting.

It looks a little "stumpy" but imo it gives it a very tough look, not frail (ish) like the original designs.
Would whoever holds the rights still get annoyed by FD doing a marauder like that ? Is that far enough away from the "unseen" that its not a problem ?
Thanks! I'm actually pretty sure that there would be no problem in making a Marauder like this. After all, *now* you're not copying a Glaug Officer's BattlePod (artwork which doesn't actually belong to Harmony Gold anyway), you're copying parts of the Cataphract and Catapult. If there's no issue with the Cataphract, there should be no issue with the Marauder.

Can't wait to see the improved version. The things you mention are pretty much all of the issues I have with first one. I definately wouldn't mind piloting a Marauder if it looked similar to your design. Given that FD even managed to make the Centurion look badass, I'm sure he could pull off something great (and similar?) in any case.

Behold! A MWO Marauder!

All I can say is this.. If FD can make this mech show up in this game and call it a Marauder legally. I will buy it, I will buy all FD redesigns of the unseen and happily pilot them and conquer.

Legs look a 'lil bulky at the hips. But hey, if it would pass as a legal design, I'll love it all the same.
