I like the Concept for MWO a great deal mostly because they make them look more like big *** tanks, which is what I thought they should look like.

P.S. and yes they MW:T Hunchback looks godaweful.

I like the old lineart. Some of us grew up just reading the novels and enjoying what we could from the few illustrations in the back of them. Their vagueness allowed us to use something called imagination.

But I do like what FD has done with most of the redesigns.

However on MWT subject;

Nitpick moar plz.

We should be honored that FD came up with such an amazing re-design of the Hunchback. We're worlds apart from what MW:T got.

..... Could they at least get the autocannon in the right torso location? That's 30 seconds of research to double check you got that right, and a fix is as easy as a geometry flip.

MW:T seems to be going down some sort of semi-anime route with their designs. It's like a transition from Battletech to Gundam.

Except you know... the majority of Battletech and Gundam Mechs all looked bad ***. Id say they are they are take the terrible part of them and combining them to make ultra terrible mechs.

I'm all in favor of the new Hunchback design. FD is a mad genius.




Cheers.

In the new pic we definitely have some Wanzer influences going on... I approve! So long as it has a similar loadout, I will be happy

20 LRMs is a pretty good number for 3025, not many mechs in the era threw that many or more, Archers, Longbows, the odd Awesome mod, but most everything threw less.

I started a thread on the MW Tactics forums about the hunchback in that game. Worst looking mech I've ever seen. Atlas is pretty bad too. The orion looks pretty cool though.

IMO the devs alienated alot of they're fanbase with that aweful art.

I dislike the MW:T Hunchback art, it takes the worst thing I hate about a Dragon (The torso) and plants it onto mega-legs.

However, a lot of MW:T art I do like, and a lot of people like some of the FD redesigns that I do not. The hips/legs on the mechs look to similar imho but some of this isn't FD's fault, PGI picked some mech's I truly dislike artistically. The Jenner is a very sound layout, but the original art is fugly, and that design simply can't be made cool imho, not appearance wise. All mech's need definable arms imho. The Catapult also has this problem as it's really easy to think those launchers are torso and not arms too. Still a lot of people like it, and there are parts I do like (Like the snub nose, love that and the beefier legs).

So, different strokes, people like different things. I dislike country and rap music but hey, they're still making millions of dollars so some people do have to like it.

The Atlas model in game looks better than this image. The hunchback though I guess don't get. I had no clue what it was until they labeled it. That's bad. Maybe they'll fix it when modeling it. I would hope.
