And where is the "We didn't give Raven a beak for performacne reasons." That catapult has a beak...

The original Catapult miniature in the TT game had the same pronounced beak.

This isn't something they came up with and was around before the Raven ever existed.

Thanks for the post, I kind of like the basic skins better on all of them. Maybe Jenner is a bit better. The Atlas looks inception skins looks okay, but I think I prefer the normal skin. Atlas is supposed to be a bit ugly.

Kerensky himself said:

a 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally.

The face of the normal Atlas gives the sort of ugly imposing feeling.

I'm a little sad. the two mechs I was most considering for the founders (catapult and atlas) are the two founder skins I like least. Never been a fan of the raven, so making my catapult look like one is a no-no, and I like the normal skull-face of the atlas a bit more. I guess I'll just have to live with the slightly uglier Atlas to get the boost.

Hmmm, the Atlas Inception looks smaller? Nice!

I'd really like to just pay for these 'Mechs.

Don't worry within four months they will more than likely be added as collectors pack to buy, every other MMO developer has done it Piranha will be no different.

Love the head on Inception Atlas

Asked this a couple times before, but do you guys think these Founders Mechs can change their paint scheme?
It wouldn't make sense to have all those paint options mentioned in the Mechlab 101 only to have these mechs' paint scheme locked. (Least that's what I'm hoping )

[Thanassis79]

Well, nothing stopping you to get the same mech again with another paint job...

There is nothing in the announcement to suggest they would have different hardpoints.

The Atlas having one less missile rack is likely just an oversight from using an alternate piece of concept art.(we only get to see the tip of the iceberg of all the concept art that gets made)

Actually, if you look closely the AC in the torso has changed as well, so it may simply have been removed due to ammo/weight constraints...

I'll probably be going with the Jenner.

[AngelEyes]

These graphics are great. I do believe I'm going to be one of the hundreds strolling around in a founders Atlas. I'm hoping what I see in its gunrack is a gauss. Now, thanks to that eyepatch, I now feel the urge to buy it and rename it in the mechlab to "___ Pirate"

I hope to get a test drive in each of those chassis before I have to pick. Really like the cat k2 with ppc not a fan of missiles. But befoe i choose will want to try those 4 out. Atlas are ok but slow, jenner fast but not alot of punch, hunchback master of none, neither speed or armor or firepower just average with a big honking gun and you have to get into range to use it. Light will run away from you assault can't run away but will pick you to pieces, depending on heavy can pick you to pieces long rang out run you if it a dragon, not sure on the caphtract will do but my guess would not be nice. They have my $60 when the tell me they need it, but some explaining need to be done on what the paying customer get that the non paying does get. Is there a set number of mech you get to choose from,i.e. jenner , hunch,cat, or atlas does the people not buying the $60 pack get the same mech choice just not founder edition that cool too. I know we get bonus and in game cash and founder mech but are the 4 mech we choose from the same four mech other than the bonus.

Do we have to pick or founder mech before we actually get to test drive the mechs that a question to answer also. Is there other mech to choose from other than those 4 founder mechs if you didn't want one of those, how much in game cash does a second mech cost will we have enough with the 60 purchase to buy a second mech so we could do a different role say from scout to brawler. hope those mech answer will be forth coming. Also how many mech total at launch.

Can the game be played with a regular keyboard and mouse or stick and mouse, can you use a saitek x52 or 65 on the game or logitech simulator setup controllers.

Maybe the admins could clean up the grammar and ask the dev for us would be cool.

Upgrading just for the game so far my processor from dual core to quad core, video card from old outdated 3870 512mb to hd radeon 7770 1 g, changing over this week and installing windows 7 so i will have dual boot system, tomorrow upgrading my wireless router and adapter to 300 mps dual band have 3 adapter coming had 54g linksys usb adap and wrt 54g router version 2 not the old one with ante the new one without the antenna, got a wrt 1200 or 1500 coming tomorrow.

Now waiting on game.
