OneAngryFraggle from the GWB showed me this

It doesn't have the silly spindly fragility that characterized the old Marauder (which I hated). I'd call this a Marauder II (the assault mech). Make it roughly the scale of an Awesome, and call it a day.

Why must I continue to bring this out? Not saying the ones in this post are bad (theyre actually pretty hot....'cept that madcat....he and I dont get along >_<), but I'd rather THIS for the Maruader:

http://browse.devian...auder-309448707

Not that I wouldn't love to see the Highlander Marauder in game, it's gorgeous, but I'm guessing it still looks enough like the original "robotech" marauder to **** them off.
Oh, and lest we forget, the original purpose of this thread was simply "I WAS BORED!"

Doesn't the Marauder basically already exist in-game? If not in flesh, in spirit, in the form of the Cataphract. You can do the exact same loadout. Even has a roughly similar basic shape to the re-seen Marauder.

No, you cannot make the same loadout. The Cataphract is 5 tons too light, and is lacking dual energy hardpoints on each arm. The Cataphract is a constant reminder of what it "isn't". Namely, the Marauder.

[DirePhoenix]

Also I'll just put this right here: I 'shopped this right after the Cataphract concept art was revealed (May 2012?)



But I definitely would take this one:



or this one:


if given the opportunity, and if there was a choice, I'd definitely take either of those over the horrible Reseen version (AKA the "I wish that could be Unseen" version).

that's actually really cool.

I've heard of people recreating a Marauder with certain load outs of the Cataphract. You can do it with a K2 pult as well.

Works fairly well too. The 1X or 3D can do it easily; I think the 2D can as well. Dunno.

I rather like the Reseen Mech... just not as a Marauder.
Give it another name and it's a rather decent-looking Mech, especially considering the precipitous drop in art quality after 3050 TRO. Expectations can change perceptions; I found the American Godzilla movie to be almost watchable if I thought of it as a remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms instead.

I'm glad you're here to tell me this. Are there any other glaringly obvious statements you'd like to make?

Marauder maybe one of those mechs they we might not be able to see because of Harmony Gold.
The Wasp & the Valkyrie included, all depends on how bold the devs are and how Harmony Gold critizes how close the design is to the Macross/Robotech I.P.

[Parnage Winters]

And now I want to turn my 1X cataphract back into a Marauderphract..

Yes. Neither Cataphract nor Catapult constitutes a Marauder.

i was hoping of something actually coming of this.

but wait it's general forums... nothing is serious here... SOOOO LET DOWN

[Pariah Devalis]

The funny thing is, the MAD-2R configuration on a CTF-3D works brilliantly, if not a little hot. With 5 more tons, it would be an absolute pleasure to pilot. I do hope the new Shimmering Sword redesign, or a permutation thereof, makes it into MWO at some point.
