[wasp1]

Yup shes a chicken walker lol , the legs and ankels arnt finished yet , in answer to the second question , shes built from wood fiberglass and steel , its a simulator cockpit , has 4 "OS" all linked to the controls , pilot has all siatek cyborg controls , the co-pilot has syborg gold stic/p5 mouse glove/ and steel batllion [pc convert] , hay i need somewhere to play my pc games lol. http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss12 ... 070011.jpg cockpit , and the bulk head door to the pit http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss12 ... 100001.jpg so no it duz not walk , but function [as far as a simpit goes YES!]

alright so the exterior isn't exactly to my tastes...but I gotta say those interior shots are something else. seriously my first thought was "...holy..fucking shit...that's bad ass!" personnally I'd like to see more raised surface details on the exterior.

well you realy cant tell from the pic ,but there are a lot of raised surfaces all over the body [still have more armour plates to go on yet ] and the ankle collars , floor treatment its far from finished , ive only invested 3 mons at this point .

[crashlegacy14]

ah. I see. perhaps some images of the more detailed areas? -regardless this far outstrips anything I'd be able to build. I don't have the skill set required

ok i see what you mean , my friend has a low quality screen on his computer and you cant see the detail , i did some side shots JUST FOR YOU lol , each of the under body plates are 1/4 in raised off the body , the legs are full molded i hope you can see them in these pics http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss12 ... 280002.jpg http://i568.photobucket.com/albums/ss12 ... 280003.jpg still have lots more detail to do yet !

Good God. I need to see this thing up and fully functional.

You better have a good gyroscope installed so that thing doesn't tip over or anything.

once again bad news for mech pilots http://kotaku.com/5352295/mechwarrior-5 ... al-trouble the game is once again on hold !!!!

[Heretic]

Wait wait wait, Harmany Gold is clamming that mech resembles the tomahawk? I could think of any number of mechs that could be. A variant/redesign of the Thor perhaps? Or even one of the Phoenix redesigns of the old unseen’s (for those who don’t know, FASA attempted to redesign the unseen mechs a few years ago to avoid this very issue, the general feel but altering the details sufficiently that they were not the exact same.)

Frankly, I don’t think fans of either Battletech or Robotech/Macross even care who owns the rights. We wan’t to blow things up with our giant robots and frankly there would be more for Harmony Gold to gain if they let Mechwarrior have them, fans of Robotech would try out the game and fans of the game would try watching Robotech. Sereusly, kicking up this whole fuss now after more than a decade stinks of a blatant money grab.

Sorry, didn’t mean to rant like that. Battletech was my first love. If you or anyone wants to continue discussing the game, I recommend starting a thread in the games section for it. That is all.

[VR7]

Yes, actually, we do have a thread on this very topic.

[Mod edit, Thank you VR7]

[wasp1]

yup there is a thread for that , i just happend to get the news shot to me on the 3rd, had to say sumthin ...
