People were commenting on lack of townhall, guess they still needed to release 'Mechs though. Standard pack has three variants (Prime, A and B) reinforcement add-on adds C and P (Streak SRM 4, LRM 10 in left arm, UAC/10 right arm, ER medium and small in right torso, one ton of ammo for each wep)

Standard

Special

Hero

Ack! Sorry, but i don't I think it's looks as good as the actual mech. Too flatish angled lines for me.

Wow, another solid redesign from FlyingDebris!

I wonder how they will calculate head shots on this mech? The center pane of the cockpit glass is a huge target.

those arms are gonna vanish in a firefight faster than pizza rolls at a lan party.

Feet are to small on this redesign ;)

BATTLEMASTER · « **Reply #5 on:** 14 June 2016, 06:07:07 »

Overall it looks a lot better than the source material. I'm not sure about the leg design change though. I'm fine with the smaller feet, but it went from man-walker to... Hrm, I can't think of the word for it...

Much better looking than the original for sure. Then again whilst that TRO gave us some evil (to the point of munchkin) mechs, the artwork for it was...hrm...

Digitgrade? Invading Clans image it was very distinctly humanoid legs, but the TRO:3058 art gave it toes which is what seems to have resulted in digitgrade legs for MWO apparently, much like how the Commando half-face and the reverse jointed legs of the Mech Commander Enfield both occurred, overly slavish adaption of one specific image and its quirks.

I took another look at the original TRO art and you're right. I totally understand why Alex did what he did. That's actually pretty cool O0

Mark Nicholson, PGI 3D Mech Artist had a Twitch stream showing off the current progress on the Huntsman. Here's a quick snippet of that:

I am no longer wondering if I should have regretted buying the hero.

That beast is... Inspiring.

Cool. I'm actually pretty excited to run close combat configs on this thing-after running around in a Hunchie IIC, I'm excited for a combination of missiles and ballistics that works okay on a medium.

Wrangler · « **Reply #15 on:** 11 October 2016, 22:13:11 »

Everytime i head the name "Huntsman", i think of Freakzoid...

I'm excited for you. This has the potential to be a sweet medium. Sure looks sexy, too.

Kinda wish they didn't use the special edition version. That thing just looks... too weird for me, I guess.

Quirks

The scale of the 'Mech is not bad. It's comparable to other 50-tonners.

Orin J. · « **Reply #21 on:** 14 October 2016, 20:05:43 »

ooh, that's gonna be fun to headshot. i've been meaning to increase my headcaps lately but there's a lot of hard to align hitboxes out there right now.

Smoke Jaguar, Wolf, Jade Falcon and Ghost Bear livery

Looks great in the Smoke Jag scheme.

Trying not to regret not pre-ordering...

Trying not to order...

Trying to remember it is Clan...

Gaaaagh. #P

Nice work on this one. [drool]

Caedis Animus · « **Reply #25 on:** 16 October 2016, 19:42:50 »

I know it's obvious to see why, but it really strikes me as a Clanspec Centurion. At least with how everything... looks, I guess. Like someone mixed a Nova Cat and a Centurion together.

martian · « **Reply #26 on:** 17 October 2016, 01:31:09 »

Let's see how it will fare in the actual game. There was a quite great hype around the Night Gyr and today I can't see too many of them.

the important part is you can see the blasted ground now! i lost count of the number of times i clipped an effectively invisible ledge on that map and lost the advantage in a fight.
