Be sure to check out the Jagermech's specs and background info here.

Hmmm, copy-and-paste error? Done that many times, myself. ;)

Just to be clear, I think the new model looks totally rockin'. The rotary missiles just make it look less like a Catapult than I would prefer. Personally, I think it is less of an issue here than it appeared to be in the bio picture, but it is still a little jarring to those of us expecting the big boxes.

You can see more clearly now that the launchers are a bit inset horizontally into the pods. It's nice. No doubt though the pitchforks will still be out and the noose is still being tested.

I second vpalmer and Hador. Nice body and legs. Rip out those miniguns and you are set.

So...maybe the inner area of the 'arms' is where the exhaust vents as missiles launch? Cool if so, but I think I'd ding the designer - put the hot exhaust on the OUTSIDE...

The overall look is good, but those machine guns look absurd. You've increased your mech's profile with little return on firepower. They don't even make tactical sense.

Because in MWT you really need to worry about the size of your 'Mech's profile.

I don’t know, I always wanted a Gatling missile gun, but I can see this more as the AC mod of the cat I will have to see the difference in weapon’s mounts on this before I get my stick of TnT out, if the AC/PPC/Missile load out looks the same I will be very upset

But over all a 8 out of 10

EDIT: Also thank you Teranika and Gendou for the pics :)

It's a sexy 'mech, no doubt. I just wish the LRM launchers looked a bit less like guns. Simply making them shorter would go a loooong way!

Hush, you. That sort of contentious, overstated hyperbole is hardly constructive.
You don't like the rotary pods. We get it. No need to belabor the point or insult the artists.
They may have a very good reason for having done things the way they have. We don't know.
But insulting them and questioning their loyalty to the franchise is pointless and inflammatory.
