Behemoth has an other name: HWR-00-Mk. II Monster Heavy Weight Destroid

It's an Macross mech too and has the same unseen status as the Archer.

And the Macross Mecha are one of the best Arts

Wait... the Archer is another 'unseen' mech? Is there some quick reference for which mechs could be used in Mechwarrior? Such as a list which shows all the 'seen' mechs? Seems like they're so mixed together. I'd like to find one to do that could potentially become a mech in the actual game (not implying they would use my model or anything, but just that I could possibly get one in the game at some later date if they decide to put that same mech in the game).

Please just don't do something that looks like a big human though, please. I've seen enough of those in MWO and I want more of the designs that look unusual. You know, stuff like catapults, behemoths, Champions, ...

...They, just, you know, give you more ways to work with a more unusual silhouette and stuff, ...
Actually, while I'm at it, have you considered the Marauder (MAD-3R)? The one that copied the Glaug Battlepod

I get what you're saying... I kind of want to avoid the overly humanoid ones. I do like the look of the Battlemaster, which is pretty humanoid looking, but I think I'm leaning more towards a chicken-walker style leg setup. Sadly, I don't think the Marauder is going to make the list since it is yet another of the 'unseen' designs even though it is one of my favorite mechs.

Not a Quick reference ...

the whole list what is possible avaible for MWO
http://www.localditc...ercs/mechs.html

the MW2: Mercs Mechs are the one in the Period and all are Seen.


But give us a decent Warhammer which don't look too Macross like please and hopefully they will adop it then

After much thought... I've narrowed my decision down to three mechs... The Thug, Mauler, or Bombardier.

Here's the Thug:




And here's the Mauler:


and the Bombardier:


In the end I decided I wanted to make sure it was one that could possibly be in the game someday. The Thug is a 3060 mech though... so it wouldn't show up in the game for quite some time where as the Mauler could be created and added in anytime (should they decide to put it in) and so could the Bombadier. There were lots of good suggestions and information that has helped me narrow down my decision. Now I just have to pick one of the three and go with it.

I suggested the Marauder because I want to explore options of redesigning it for the game in a manner that keeps an unusual, iconic profile or look, but isn't an obvious Glaug pod rip.

Thus far I'm leaning towards the Madcat or Battlemaster... but I haven't made up my mind on that yet. I'm more inclined to do a chicken-walker style simply because I'm so fond of that setup for the legs. Still thinking about it though and more suggestions are welcomed.



You can see some samples here. None of it is mech based/related, but I've recently felt inspired to make one.

Wow that's some really nice stuff, I especially like the green "alien" with the cane. Do you do this as a hobby or for work(or both)?

Also it would be nice to see a proper centurion, the current model does look nice, however I think it.. doesn't really look like it should? idk it is hard to describe. Never mind seems you have already made a decision!

Hell actually any 55 tonner, somebody from pgi might see it and start brainstorming or something.

Never mind seems you have already made a decision! Shows me for not reading the rest of the thread I guess.

[smokefield]

nice stuff on your page.

also - you said you will not pick a humanoid mech...i think that non-humanoid ones are much better looking and show more strenght...

[machine]

Make your own interpretation of Voltron as a Mech

[Zaptruder]

Ooh ooh. Could you try your hand at some of my remakes?




If you have difficulty picking one, I would recommend the Marauder

[Dukarriope]

Do that marauder redesign Zaptruder has... It's a lot like what my mental image is... And awesome.

It's easier to list the Unseen, there aren't so many.

-Macross / Southern Cross / Mospeada:
Stinger, Wasp, Valkyrie, Falcon, Hornet, Phoenix Hawk, Crusader: All of these were veritechs.
Warhammer, Archer, Rifleman: Destroids. (I'm not convinced that the Stone Rhino actually is.)
Marauder, "Osts" : Zentraedi units.

-Fang of the Sun Dougram:
Shadow Hawk, Griffin, Wolverine, Thunderbolt, Battlemaster, Scorpion, Goliath. The unseen Shadow Hawk, an iconic FASA-BT medium, is in fact the titular mecha of this anime:



-Crusher Joe:
Locust (along with several aeros)

Several of the original TRO 3055 designs were a separate contract issue with the artists.
