Description Not much to say about this one. Just another remodel of a mech I did years ago. Maybe still needs some more work here and there.

If you'd gotten this in Mech 4, along with the Firefly and Champion of the same pack, you would've had the entire roster of the original Mech 3. Add a Clint IIC and you'd have Pirate's Moon, too!

Aww, well, for what it's worth, I'm definitely looking forward to it and my brother doubly so!

I wish I could do something about the free time, though.

My brother's a huge fan of the Orion. It's easily his favorite mech (got him through a few tough fights in MW3 and he's sworn by it ever since). So, I've gotta ask, is there any chance of this ending up in MW4: Mercenaries as part of a later mekpak?

Yes. I've actually started making it. Right now it's very much unfinished as I haven't had the time or motivation to work on it.

Man, I would love to see some of Iron Wind's new plastic minis based off your work. That would be amazing.

I think maybe I prefer the old legs...
And the new right arm doesn't look as beefy as the old one, but I like the new body detail. Good work.

Nicely done and the orion was always one of my favourite mechs, love his power.
He was also piloted by Alexandr Kerensky which makes him even more awesome

My favorite part about the 'mech (in MW3 particularly) is the antennas. Makes it look like a humanoid beetle or something.

Yep. I was considering making some kind of scene about Kerensky's Orion.

Don't let any of us stop you - I'd like to see those immensely detailed models of yours used in a scene.

As for this remake of your original Orion model - jaw-dropping.

Something has to be said for a Mech that can literally spray LRM's

Sorry, here is the link that links to other sites. It will be by Piranha Games and Smith & Tinker for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360.

Now that is one rippin' orion.

You are correct except for one fact, Smith and Tinker are in a legal battle with harmony gold over the warhammer and a possible few other mechs. The warhammer along with 20 other original battlemechs are harmony gold property as FASA found out in the early 90's. I hope they work something out.

Tawnya In reply to GratefulReflex [2010-03-29 23:10:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes there is that. I say let them take it outside and slug it out. Who ever is left standing wins in true BattleTech fashion!

hmmm alleyway brawl...it'd be like a battlepod versus an urbanmech! as crazy as it sounds...I think I'd actually pay to see that one.

Battlepod? I am not familiar with them.

GratefulReflex In reply to Tawnya [2010-04-06 14:47:43 +0000 UTC]

ah, well this goes back to harmony gold, their series Macross/Robotech, one of the alien races that starts as an enemy and becomes an ally is the zentradi who's most well known mecha unit is a battlepod. You've seen one before if you've seen the Battletech Ostsol or ostroc. It looks a bit like that minus the arms.

I hear someone bought the rights from Microsoft and a new version is coming out. It will simply be called MechWarrior and will be all new.
