Charmless redesign. Half the reason I like the proper Urbie so much is that it looks so round and derpy.

And it's wearing a top hat.  And smoking a cigar.

So what if its torso is a turret on its hip assembly now?



Actually, to me, it looks a lot more practical.  I don't recall if the mid-section of the original art of the 'Mech could actually rotate, but at least this thing looks like it could actually torso twist.

The Price is too steep though . . 1000MC . .
You can get a RAVEN for 950MC . .
Quote from one of the Mechwarrior: Living Legends Mod Developers:
'any kind of discussion of randomness ALWAYS WILL EQUATE to being able to critically hit a mech's reactor by firing a micro beam laser while facing 80 degrees to the side, shooting the ground, which would cause a random explosion which would randomly crit his entire team's reactors which would randomly cause the server itself to explode which would randomly generate a strange quark which would randomly hit the earth and randomly randomness ****** the shit ****** random!'

well, it's loose' artwork, so it's kind of up to interpretation (there's how many ways to look at the Stalker's hip assemblies again? but it should have been able to torso twist just fine from how i saw it. i'm hoping they pull together a bit more before they make an actual Urbanmech for us to dominate the game in, although i forgive this for the fact it needed to be a bobblehead. even if i would have preferred the hat was the part bobbling, at a jaunty angle if possible..
