So the Stalker is on the homepage now and It looks ok...

Im really disappointing about how big the arms are, people compare it to the catapult a lot, but It REALLY just looks like a big catapult...

[Leetskeet]

Well that's basically what it is

But if some of you haven't figured out by now, pretty much every mech is going to get wider once the modelers get a hold of the concept art.

[Tennex]

its arms are mounted too far above the head.

in the concept art the arms are nearly level with the top of the torso.

it looks a bit like rabbit ears now.

Looks taller to me. I think the lower legs are longer than the concept art picture. Also the torso piece seems to be a bit raised as well.

I think it looks alright but the concept picture looked better.

The only odd thing about it to me, is that the frame looks pretty short front to back, though it'd be longer.
I'll be interested to see where the hitboxes are though, since that will determine if it can run an XL engine or not.

Really not liking the way it turned out.

[Solis Obscuri]

It actually looks pretty good



I suspect the one that "looks like a Catapult" in the front-page picture is the STK-3H, with it's big LRM-20 launchers.

[Lightfoot]

I want the Stalker with ecm.

[Dukarriope]

It looks kind of... boring. The concept art is far more flattering...

And why do none of them have holes on the arms for the rocket launchers?

edit: nevermind, missile bay doors...

Looks good. I'm glad for another Mech that doesn't look human, especially an Assault. Should be interesting to see the dominant builds for Stalkers too...

I was thinking the exact same thing... it looks like a Catapult MkII

the Stalker should like a ***** with legs... insert your fallic joke here

but the image on the main webpage, the body just seems too pointy... just not even sure if it follows the concept art or it's just the image or the viewing angle... something just doesn't feel right... I look at it and think "that Catapult needs to go on a diet" instead of thinking "oh ****, it's a Stalker ****!"

ok on further review... it's mainly the larger arms/missle pods... those look like Catapults, the Stalker doesn't really have pods on the side, it should be more like just big slabs on the sides... and the nose/body is to close to Catapult shape, it needs to be a bid longer and slightly more cylindrical, instead of having Catapult angles... just my 2 cents

the concept art below gives more more Stalker feeling than the main web photo

Looked a lot cooler in the Concept.

more fortress like.

[Dukarriope]

I think if the arms were longer, that is, obstructed more of the torso from the sides, it'd look a little nicer. On the other hand maybe it's just that the textures really suck and PGI sucks at lighting that it looks really bland...

[Bryan Bekker]

The legs look too beefy in comparison to the upper body.

they gave it the long leg treatment like they did with the raven. i don't know why it just makes it look odder when animated

[Irreverence]

Hard to tell from the image on the homepage, but the proportions look way off. Lost it's iconic silhouette,

This could be my very first assault mech. Going to buy a new mechbay today to prepare for it!
