I mean, I kind of like the bashed together look, but the Hellspawn's never been a star performer, even in MW4. I mean, it was potent against... Bots. That was about it. I think the Paralyzer and 8P are going to be the best models.

When I was looking at the specs of that custom Hellspawn, I really did go "Wait a second, I've seen this one before."

[Burning Chrome]

Looks cool, but absolutely no interest.

Very odd choice.  Chimera would've at least had the ballistics weps group along with energy and missile. 

Would've preferred a 3025 era mech.

[Getz]

It's a nice machine, it looks cool and I'm pleased to see it added to the game - but I can't honestly say I expect to see them fielded very often.

[Orin J.]

Y'know, as much of a personal fan of the Hellspawn i am personally.....i don't see this being a big hit.  :'(

[YingJanshi]

Except for the shoulder missile pod...it looks more like a Dragon than a Hellspawn...(maybe I'm just weird...)

You must be the only one in the world

Thought the same thing, Dragon torso with Marauder arms.

[MarauderD]

I'm one of the few who detested all the Mechs added in MW4, so this one doesn't fare any better for me.

As an MWO player with some experience, and all hating aside, 45 tons is a TOUGH bracket. Can't boat enough weapons to matter, can't mount enough armor, and can't go fast enough to get away from Ebon Jags/Linebackers which out ton you. I firmly believe nothing is DOA until people play it (remember how everyone thought the Shad  would suck? It became the best medium in game for about a year) but this thing looks like a turkey.

Speaking of which, my Phoenix Hawk pack is collecting dust, and those things are pretty. Just a tough bracket, I tell ya......

[(SMD)MadCow]

It could be fun, I dont foresee much in the way of builds other than splat srm and medium laser puke. Depending on how high the torso energy mounts are, it could be a potent jump sniper...

My favorite at 45 are the Dakkajack and 6MG Arrow.

Soooooon

[Caedis Animus]

Look at that nice, juicy LT.

[Cyc]

And right out of the gate - scale comparison and patterns

[Cyc]

Quirks, yeah I'd probably not run missiles in the arms of this thing...

[Orin J.]

....I haven't played since my gaming rig's PSU got fried. Are all rocket launchers in the game built to fire pencils?

[HobbesHurlbut]

Regarding Coolant Pods, we kinda already have cool shots for consumable in game, yeah?

[Cyc]

Yes we do, but don't have any tonnage or critical slot requirements like coolant pods which is why the MWO hero had to be amended along with the swap of Angel for Guardian ECM.
