MWO Centurion

[Leeko]

Ugh... not sure how I feel. The armshieldthing is dumb, the legs look like they're from an anime mech, and the head fin somehow looks even dumber than the TRO/miniature one. That said, the right arm and the torso look badass and if I look around the fin I actually kind of like the way its head looks. And for the love of the Spaghetti Monster, DEM SHOULDERS. I love those shoulders. I wish I could make love to those shoulders and make lots of beautiful baby shoulders. Er... what.

I'm hoping the head fin and arm shield might be cosmetic items that could be changed to different styles or removed as part of its customization options

[Leeko]

top hat to replace head fin: $5

armthing with polka-dots: $9.99

heh no thanks

FD's work is great, but ......

This one .... i dont know, to me the shoulder guard and arm sheild , are visual elements i'd associate with a roman gladiator rather than a centurion.

I can appreciate the artwork, its excellent as usual, but if someone were to show me this without a title those visual elements wouldnt speak to me of a centurion.

And its hard for me to post this, for fear of insulting Alex, its not meant as such, but i think it might be helpful for MWO to get a few other artists on board, otherwise i have concerns there will be a sort of generic flavour to the assets that will run counter to the diversity that we should be seeing in said assets.

There is a risk that there will be a common design element across the whole asset list, as if every mech was designed by a single engineer.

Its just my honest two cents, its not worth much, but if its not my honest opinion, its worth nothing.

Let the torches and pitchforks ensue

You already have one.
Hop in an Osiris, Bro.

The crest has never been transverse, thus I have never considered it modeled after an actual centurion.

Too many people hate on that mech, that mech taught me more about the gameplay dynamics of MWLL than any other.

I'd recommend it as a newbie starter mech 100% of the time. Why?

Because difficulty breeds skill!

I wish I had a custom ppc effect now, I'm imagining a wall of goo flying towards mechs now.

Well, if you pretend it's a walking set of Blue Balls, I think the effect is quite fitting.

[Bill]

Ha!

I'd not considered that angle, the Osiris now shall forever be roleplayed as a sex offender/flasher. So fragile that it might just explode at any moment if caught, always waiting to erupt and loose it's flowing gift onto the nearest subject. Then it must creep away lest too much attention is drawn to it's now flaccid weapon, it's lust must recharge and a new target of desire must be sought.

This Centurion does not look very battletech-like.

This Centurion does not look very battletech-like.

Because it doesn't look absolutely ridiculous?
The art style fits into the artwork done in recent TROs.

[Bill]

Well if I remember that's one of FB's design, if not the mech he had for himself... so it sort of figures...

Fag meks are gay.

The design's cool-factor doesn't kick-in for me, so I do not like how it looks.
If I were to nitpick, I'd point out the shield on the arm, the autocannon appearing too "high-tech" (I thought it over... sadly that is really what I mean), the head, and, as doubly important as any one other thing (because there are two of them), those freaking legs. Why the hell does a 50-ton war machine have crossbars/stop bars on the knees?  ... ..

Yeah I am backwards sometimes, but it does not appear to fit the Battletech-esque idea of a tank-like machine. The calves and feet are just completely backwards to the feel of Inner Sphere BattleMechs, and especially the Centurion. That 'Mech that FB drew looks a whole lot more like something that's supposed to be fast and lightly armored, especially compared to his own interpretation of the Hunchback.

... and to think, I might have hired him... (lol dick move, right?)
It's excellent art and it looks really cool, but it just doesn't feel like a 50 ton, low speed, walking tank. I'd be much more approving of it, were it an interpretation of a Clan 'Mech of identical weight and speed, but, alas, it is not.
I'm just one guy with one opinion. It is a successful re-interpretation of the TRO 3025 Centurion, and definitely improves the look of the chassis IMO, just in the wrong direction.. again, IMO.
