What mech to resculpt?

[Sharpnel]

NOt many arre going to like this choice, but I think the Blood Asp needs another resculpt





*Ducks thrown fruit, vegetables and kitchen sinks*


Seriously, I think the original Banshee (not the walking drunkard) should be re-done with a non-Unseen PPC arm. A new Dragon would be dool as well.

[ullera1985]

Highlander or a proper Grand Dragon

[qc mech3]

I have three models that come to me right away: Highlander, Griffin and Vindicator. The first two are simply too small, passing as light mechs in my lances  :-\ and the Vindy I own show its age. A new sculpt could beef it up a little, add the possibility to make some mods and at least produce a fresher mold.  O0

[JadeHellbringer]

Dragon or Vindicator.

Before we ask for re-sculpts, I would like to a Shockwave.

Or the Bruin, that'd be a nice one to get our hands on too. (Shockwave would be great though, especially if the AC is a separate piece. Mmmm, kitbash fodder...)

[GunjiNoKanrei]

Another thought - with Alpha Strike (for now) focusing on the (early) Clan Invasion era it could be a good idea to give some of the 3025/3039 units that have been around for ages a resculpt. Some have aged well, but many didn't.

Some have already been mentioned - Dragon, Banshee, Highlander, Vindicator - but how about a readily-available Catapult everyone is happy with, or a new Sentinel, Blackjack, Exterminator, Falcon, Clint, ...?

Or the Bruin, that'd be a nice one to get our hands on too. (Shockwave would be great though, especially if the AC is a separate piece. Mmmm, kitbash fodder...)

The Bruin is on the release schedule for June this year.

[JadeHellbringer]

I didn't see it was on there. Cool! I need to scrape some change together for one of those then.

I'd be in favor though of a new sculpt of the Dragon, maybe with different right arms to make alternate versions. Even the old Hunchback wouldn't be a bad one to do a new version of, again perhaps with the AC's 'box' being replaceable with other configurations.

Black Hawk KU as per the art in 3058U

[IAMCLANWOLF]

In my opinion, re-sculpts don’t always seem to work out to everyone’s expectations. I mean, you’re limited to the original art. Why look back when there is so much that has yet to be sculpted at all?

New stuff that would sell FAST:

- A new Timberwolf based on the Alpha Strike Ad Hoc Unit Cards Set cover art
- A new Atlas based on the new Box Set cover art
- A new Savage Wolf IV based on the Alpha Strike cover art

[Corrinald]

Definitely agree with that the Gunslinger and Dragon/Grand Dragon need a good resculpt.

And if we could get a partial - yes, the Blood Reaper's tiny legs could be much improved.

[agen2]

Blood Kite and Cougar.

[Dragon41673]

Although it's probably not a top one on peoples list...the Mad Cat MK II Enhanced. Almost everything on this mech needs to be re-sculpted...most notably the body.

[JadeHellbringer]

Blood Kite and Cougar.

Oh man, a Cougar re-done to be able to work with the existing Omnimech parts would be fantastic.

it also needs to loose a lot of weight.. :)

i'd say the first ones to fix would be mechs like the Banshee (fix the zombie lurch, and maybe give it the actual -5S weapons layout.. twin PPC's and the guass in the torso, SRm6 and full hand on the right arm, twin mediums on the left arm. so if we gotta junk the warhammer arm for legal reasons, lets go all the way and get an accurate version of the bauplan of the 3050 version. especially now that we have the primative version to fill in for the -3E.)
also the Devastator.. i know its supposed ot be a running pose but it looks like it just tripped on its own feet and is about to faceplant..

I have a Devastator on my workbench... I'd be in favor of new legs, like people have said here for the Blood Reaper, but the body and arms on this thing look pretty good to me. Call it a partial-resculpt?

Not so sure on the Banshee- we did just get the XTRO and Primitive versions, after all, both of which look really cool (an XTRO version is standing next to that Devastator, in fact).

[Kat]

I'll chime in for the Cougar and Linebacker, as well. But especially the Linebacker.

[jymset]

Hollander.

Call the existing sculpt the Hollander II, make a new, and smaller Hollander based on 3055U art. And by all rights it should be tiny, as the gun and its ammo takes up half the weight of the whole thing.

...I like me my tiny light 'Mechs...

[beachhead1985]

I think in general, there are a lot of individual PARTS that need do-overs.

Vanquisher legs come to mind...

As a mech; I say the Centurion.

The two versions we have are based on the worst depiction of the mech we`ve ever had; the Cn9 from 3050.

I'd love a re-sculpt based on the 3025/mechcommander art. The Writeup for the Cn9 made it sound like a machine with a very heroic reputation; i'd like to see a version that looks less like a caricature of itself; big head, ect. In genral; I'd say anything with a HUGE GIANT HEAD. should be re-done.

[Burning Chrome]

How 'bout NONE until the unsculpted mechs have been done first.

Ostwar and Von Rohrs come to mind, probably others I'm overlooking at the moment.

After that, I think the Gunslinger needs a look...but I shudder to think what might happen along the lines of the Orion, Atlas, and Enforcer.   :'(

Some proper Charger variants would be cool.  Like the CGR-1A9 or CGR-3K (practically the same thing), CGR-SB or perhaps the CGR-1X1?  You could even start with the original minis and work mods from there similar to the Grasshopper that was "updated" recently and turned out very nice.

[Shin Yodama]

Kraken/Bane, based on this:

Black Lanner, to more closely resemble the CCG art. What happened to the Australian Fan Funded one? That was looking awesome.



Turkina, to more closely resemble the Mektek version:



Behemoth - I know the original is unseen, but it was so sexy!

[God and Davion]

Highlander, Dragon, Black Lanner to CCG art...

[SpiralFace]

Highlander, Black knight (Looks like the mech got ran over with a steam roller from the side,) Shogun

[cavingjan]

Highlander and Anubis

And nothing from the CCG (since I don't think we have access to the art IP)

[Col.Hengist]

People keep saying the highlander, and I remember we were asked before this same question and the highlander wonout.
  I ddon't get that one. I think the original looks pretty good. I don't like the revised art where it's kind of skinny, I like the 2750 art where its beefy.

[Wolf Reaper]

I also should mention the Verfolger. Since the last one got crushed under something heavy.  ;D

There's beefy, and there's tubby. The HGN IIC is still beefy, but at least looks like it can get that big gun pointed at you. The current Highlander sculpt doesn't look threatening or powerful at all...it looks like a plush toy.

Exactly.

And "Scale creep"  really affects the Highlander as it's supposed to be one of the heaviest mechs but it's way too small now, compared to the resculpted Atlas, Battlemaster etc.

Also as it's one of the original 3025/2750 mechs it should be ahead of other more recent minis, or others that have already had resculpts already

Turkina, to more closely resemble the Mektek version:

A mini based on that Turkina sure would be cool though.  :-\

[GunjiNoKanrei]

While I am with the crowd in favour of a new Highlander sculpt I just realised that we'd need new canon artwork first otherwise it would just look like the existing sculpt. Maybe a tad taller, but overall probably not what everyone would be expecting.

[Maingunnery]

What about a Bushwacker that has alternate parts to make it look like a Gauntlet?

[cavingjan]

I had no idea that MWO did the Savage Wolf.

[Kat]

They did not. That's art from I-forget-where pasted into the MWO template.
