Thought it was funny enough to share...

I'm not sure if its Mirage or Sandblasted, I think it was Mirage, outside of the mech hangar there is a partially built Timby and Owens. You can see it on the top banner if you go to the MWLL home page.

In boredom and curiosity, I throw a NARC Grenade at the Madcat to see if it actually has any effect. Sure enough, it sticks and emits a signal, meanwhile somebody on my team is coordinating a Arrow 4 strike with another player using TAG. Narc has the priority over TAG, so the guys Arrow's decide to launch themselves at the under construction Madcat. The missiles hit the mech which im close to and end up killing me.

He was demoted for team killing.

Did it have a special tag or say MWLL_StaticObject or whatever it says when you tag an object by accident. (I think the sat dishes on Frostbite do this)

[sleepysheep]

That's funny and harsh lol.

[Leeko]

I lol'd

[Virt]

Bwahaha!   That'll learn you

[CHHš Sturmadler]

Hilarious.

Also useful bug report really.  Can you reproduce this 5/5?

[Perk]

Yeah, same thing if you stick a narc beacon to the legs of any given mech - the Beacon shows up with the name of the primary mech model to use those legs (legs models are shared among several different mechs).  For instance, if you narc a Vulture's legs, the beacon shows up as "Madcat Legs" and half the IS models show up as "Warhammer Legs".

[CHHš Sturmadler]

That's because we're reusing leg geometry to save alot of time modeling and animating legs which are similar.

In MW3 the Sunder and Thor have identical legs, I think the vulture and madcat might also.

AFAIK this is even canon. Clans have modular designs. Which is pretty smart actually.

This has nothing to do with an Omnimech's modularity:

In the aftermath of the Battle of Tokasha and the loss of Tokasha Mechworks, the Hell's Horses began developing several OmniMechs. Only the Hellbringer met with success. Development time for the Hebllbringer was reduced through the use of moulds used in the Summoner.

Parts are only reused if it saves time and makes sense to do so

[(TLL) Heretic]

Actually, re-using the legs is the standard across Clan Omnimechs, the original 16 Omnis shared nine sets of legs amongst them.

Shared Legs:
Mist Lynx & Firemoth
Kit Fox (Uller) & Adder (Puma)
Nova & Viper
Hell Bringer (Loki) & Summoner (Thor)
Mad Dog (Vulture) & Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)
Executioner & Gargoyle
War Hawk (Masakari) & Dire Wolf (Daishi)

Unique Legs:
Storm Crow (Ryoken)
Ice Ferret

So I'd say  a parts are commonly used and only unique parts when no solution can be found amongst existing parts.

The Sunder was an IS copy of the Thor (Summoner) that turned into an assault 'mech.
