It could be worse. It doesn't look too bad.

I like the MWO take better than either of the TRO images.

Hero paint scheme looks good.

Could be a fun ride.

I'm no artist, but for me, it was the best mech art that Alex has ever done. I've never wanted to buy a mech based on art alone, until now.

Unfortunately for PGI, I haven't bought a mech since the Javelin, and hardly played since I mastered those 5 mechs out.

HBS' BattleTech is my new mech fix, and I don't miss MWO too much. Honestly, I uninstalled it for more room on my SSD.

Now if they were to release more Classics, based off of Shimmering Sword's new aesthetic, I'd pony up. But I think I'm waiting until MW5.

Cheers,

Mad.

I actually really like the hexagons and stuff on the head. This machine looks very... Alien. Not the movie, just like, what I would expect an alien mech to look like.

That said, I hate the HPs. I can make an AC/20 build on one, but that'd be more of a just for fun sort of thing.

Been fighting them lately, making my life miserable in hands of expert light pilots.

I swear the day of the heavier mechs is numbered way these Locusts, Vapor Eagles, Fleas end up schooling people with their darn machine guns and other assortment of small fire arms in large quantities.

Seems like their same thing, except the Eagle is medium clan mech.  :P

Quirks!

Well not really. All variants save the 4 get 15% initial jump jet thrust and 15% jump jet burn time reflecting the jump jet focus of the Vapor Eagle, the jump jet-less 4 gets +10% missile velocity and -10% missile cooldown.

Commence the DOA discussions on the MWO forums.
