MotW: PPR Salamander

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

There's a few '55ers that I'd like to see get new sculpts, but yeah, this is one of the higher-ranked ones for me in terms of need (along with the Naginata's wonky feet and the Daimyo's... ah, everything...). Great Mech, awful mini. I've avoided it for years as a result, but always have wanted to add them to  my shelves. With the upgrades we got over the years to other Mechs in that book like the Fireball and Huron Warrior, I'm optimistic that a Salamander resculpt (plastic or metal) will look spiffy.

The Salamander holds up a lot better than the Lego Naginata or the ambulatory potato that is the Anvil.

I often wonder, with the advent of MRM's, did the designers ever think to make a variant of the salamander loaded out WITH MRMS?

Doubt it.  MRMs were never popular outside of the Combine.

I wanna hear that sales pitch.

"I think we could move a lot of Salamanders if we filled them with a Kurita weapon that works poorly and none of our customers like!"

"You're fired."

I've actually always thought the Salamander looked okay, even with the original art.

The drawings are ok. The mini doesn't do that art justice (which probably would have been just the original 3055 when the mini came out, with the berserker and salamander fighting being the better of the two) 

I don't think even kurita like MRM, especially before Apollo came out.
