Fire Falcon Concept Sketch
Added 2020-03-28 01:07:50 +0000 UTCYou want crab? No crab for you!
You may have a cute but fast and deadly Fire Falcon though.
This one was a breeze going through because I'd done a fun redesign on it years ago. So much of the old art (CCG) was either terrible, or inaccurate (lineart) that it leaves a lot of room for creative interpretation.
Key goals were a nicer nose, and retaining the huge SRM ports.
It's also to my knowledge a rarely used mech so I don't expect any grogs to be clinging tight to it. A least, I've never once seen in person or online anyone using one in their forces.
Now my hope is that it will gain new player use due to looking like the lovechild of a raven and locust, while on crack weapons.

Is there a miniature or model of this guy yet?

2020-09-06 01:06:14 +0000 UTCI do love the look of this machine. The legs and center are great. I am not a fan of the weapon layout but its what it is. Have always preferred more symmetrical layouts. Again the core design is really good.

2020-03-30 08:20:57 +0000 UTCWhat's the weapons load-out for this, particularly the arms?
2020-03-30 01:47:19 +0000 UTCI dont think I will ever be able to look at this without thinking of the Raven
2020-03-29 05:04:29 +0000 UTCOther than the "Snub Nose Medium Pulse Laser" I'm liking this a lot. Could we lengthen the barrel a little?

2020-03-28 12:51:50 +0000 UTCI love the ridicules missile tubes. Really showcases how overgunned of a mech our favorite murder birds made.

2020-03-28 11:00:30 +0000 UTCIt is a great improvement. The SRMs on the top from the original art are a lot less cooler.
2020-03-28 09:36:20 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite light Clan mechs! Showed it to my wife (cause she is used to calling my existing Fire Falcons "Kermits") and she thinks it's ok. We both note the legs seem more "curvy" than the blocky stuff we're used to seeing. I feel the weapon ports are just a bit over sized on each arm too.
2020-03-28 09:30:19 +0000 UTCA Clan light that has tickled my fancy. It and the Kit Fox are my choices for Clan light miniatures.

2020-03-28 06:19:25 +0000 UTCThe only reason I never used it is because I didn't like how the original design looked. I will 100% be using this. Sort of like a cross between a Raijin and a Jenner IIC.

2020-03-28 03:58:52 +0000 UTCI might actually use this mech now that you've made it look like a mech instead of a..... you know, I really don't know what to say about the original FASA design, other than "blech"

2020-03-28 03:47:13 +0000 UTCIf glass was a hard rule or even fan ideal then people wouldn't hug so tightly to the Marauder and other limited viewports. They're ideal to have, but not at all required.

2020-03-28 03:43:10 +0000 UTCThat thing looks really awesome, great job!
Andrew McKenna
2020-03-28 03:17:14 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure that's a speaker in his left arm, but I'd definitely use this mech.

2020-03-28 02:58:08 +0000 UTCThis looks awesome.
2020-03-28 02:49:52 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite Clan light 'Mechs, for sure. Nice update, but I'm surprised you didn't correct the impossibly small cockpit. Still, very excited to get these!

2020-03-28 02:34:24 +0000 UTCThey're in racing seat posture, and the window is just for killing infantry, which many variants are made for luckily. Sensors and internal screens for the main view.
Anthony Scroggins
2020-03-28 02:20:01 +0000 UTCOK, as usual, I'm trying to picture where the pilot sits. If looks like if they're behind the obvious window, they'd have be lying down.
2020-03-28 02:15:38 +0000 UTCUsed it precisely once, much bigger fan of this!

2020-03-28 02:10:53 +0000 UTCFrom zero to hero.
2020-03-28 02:05:43 +0000 UTCI mean, I quite like the fire falcon, and it’s odd little frog eyes, but this is certainly a better design.
2020-03-28 01:49:48 +0000 UTCHah.

2020-03-28 01:32:56 +0000 UTCone of our guys in Kansas City is a Falcon Player. this bastard has replaced the Uller and Dasher in his armies. Im sure he will appreciate
James Bixby
2020-03-28 01:27:50 +0000 UTCIt would look better if it was the King Crab. Much better as the King Crab. King... Crab... (I guess the fire falcon looks nice or something...)
2020-03-28 01:27:13 +0000 UTCI like it overall, but the pulse laser looks a bit funky to me. Maybe too wide/short? Agree with Cristopher that the SRM's look great, the little step out lip on the bottom of the top rack is awesome.

2020-03-28 01:18:18 +0000 UTCVery nice update of this psychotically overarmed little pest

2020-03-28 01:16:34 +0000 UTCI like the honeycomb look of the launchers.
