After doing so many Battletech commissions I wanted to do one of my own again, for a little more freedom in mech choice and design. Turns out my last personal BT piece was also a marauder, both done for the same reason, though the old one looks silly compared to this :D

A lot of fans miss the old unseen designs, so for this piece I wanted to create something that was a little more faithful to the old, while also trying to avoid a look that would cause legal issues, and going on a bit of related fluff from the Mad Cat.

Grey Death Legion Marauder MAD-5S going to work on a moon.
2 ER Particle Projector Cannons
2 M Pulse Lasers
1 Gauss Rifle

If I was to redesign another unseen, or any BT mech in general that you feel is an iconic mech that needs a face lift, which would it be?

"...one giant stomp for mechkind."

Couldn't help but paraphrase Mr Armstrong when I saw this one. :)
Outstanding work, sir.

Oh how very awesome. That's the one thing I always liked about the Marauder. The dual-PPCs. Very nice angle and atmosphere (even without the atmosphere... :O_o:). Nice design, too!

Thanks.

In all seriousness I would love to see an Urbanmech done right. But since you rightfully think I'm trolling with statement a Stalker, Catapult or King Crab would be awesome to see a re-vision.

Also, this (and your other work) is insanely fantastic!

As for "Unseen" mechs, I think besides the MAD, there is a tie between the Rifleman and the Devastator.

I always thought they were pretty rad looking. And I have a soft spot in my heart for Riflemen after reading the Warrior trilogy.

You know I just realized a 'mech fight in a vacuum would create all sorts of problems, mostly to do with heat radiation (rather then convection, which normal atmospheric 'radiators' use. I'd imagine it'd be like playing caustic valley in MWO times umptillion.

Actually, the heat-sinks are actually more related to an air conditioning unit's heat pump than than an actually heat sink. They actively force heat into the environment, making them more effective than more traditional radiators. It's also the reason that they can work even in environments where it would normally be extremely difficult to get rid of excess heat, like MWO's Caustic.
