Redirect to original
Description An entirely unofficial concept-art practice in the Mechwarrior Online style. There's been hints and wishes of the possibility of melee combat so I decided to take a shot at one of my favorite mechs that's never been in the video games and try to render it better then I have in the past. This one partly based on the lineart version I did before with more details and a few parts rearranged.

A man can dream right? Don't answer that, I'm dreaming anyway!

I ALMOST want to do the 1N and 3N to go with this.

Again, unofficial. (CS5.5)

I wish they'd add melee. Melee has always existed in the canon, and never in any of the games.

I'm not a fan of the Melee based Mechs. Good drawing, but I prefer Mechs like the Mad Cat.

There's a lot of MW fans that want to see a true implementation of melee combat in MWO
One day we'll get it! We just need to keep pushing them for it

Thanks for keeping the dream alive with your artwork!

Well I think in MWO you can push people over, it's a start!

Yeah it was early 90's and they wanted to explain a complex series in a SatAm cartoon. Nice idea but you couldn't expect a whole lot I guess. Though this mech was around before that, the version the cartoon used was my favorite.

I can only hope that this variant not only makes it into the new game, but looks half as good as this! Well done.

Good idea there of showing the Melee side of them.

Pretty convincing take on MWO Concept Art. Couldn't have been easy trying to replicate FlyingDebris' art style.
