/gerg/ - Giant Extreme Robots General

Spooky is the better artist, I just wish he wasn't such a massive pig shill like all of them.

He's really good but has he actually drawn any original redesigns of his own?

The tanks, I think. No mechs though.

He mostly uses in-game models from MWO and other sources, renders them in a 3d program with textures and uses photoshop to finish off effecs with.

...

>Spooky is the better artist

In what sense?

Cool Story Sis

2017 guide to painting your robot: Patterns edition.

Tier 1: Universally goes well with everything and can be used in many ways with many colors.
Woodland, Tiger, Digital, Steiner, Wolf

Tier 2: Not as flexible with choice of mech or color but often can look very good.
Sherman, Raider, Polygon, Davion, Liao, Marik, Jade Falcon

Tier 3: Little flexibility in choice of mech or color but can still look good.
Fractal, Buccaneer, Hotrod, Kurita, Ghost Bear

Tier 4: Either too restrictive or just plain ugly.
Mountain Line, Vagabond, Applejack, Snowfall, Rasalhague, Smoke Jaguar

Tier 5: Bottom of the barrel patterns only someone like Dashing would consider buying. People will look at you and think you are a joke.
Dazzle, Urban Block, Phraken, Cobra, Tartan, Virus, Crusader

Tier ??? 2012 time machine special: I want my SRMs back.
PC Gamer

Crusader is topmost apex tier.
Gas yourself autist.

t. Dashing.

Is the Highlander IIC the thinking man's robot?

Depends on what the man is thinking.
But it would have to be something along the lines of 'come sweet death'.

Yes

Because when looking at thumbnails of say your artwork Shimsham you can tell it is drawn. When I look at thumbnails of Spook's I cannot tell if it is a photo of a diorama or a screenshot. His art just comes to life in a funny way, its almost self aware in the fact it lends that sense of what the battletech genre used to be.

It is uncanny.

Spoopys art is 3d rendered my mans

It doesn't mean its not art and it doesn't mean its not better than yours.

ok spookster

Looks like shit.
Like slightly souped up MW3 screenshot.

The centurion in MW3 doesn't look any where that good.

We all know you lurk here shimmy, spooks on the other hand does not.

best assault in the game

>ruining a beautiful huelander with meta garbage
kys

That's funny.

If you use anything other than the basic green that each mech comes with you're a tryhard autist.

it hits like a truck™

...

bump

>that old ass cent
>good

Sure, if you like giant people in carboard box suits pretending they're surrounded by tanks and little soldiers while making retarded sound effects at the sandbox.

Wait a second, Greg, is that you?

>Implying I'm a cent enthusiast like Rutherford B Darshing

m8 pls. I promote only da Zoose/Onion/Dragon-1N/Spooder/Bushwanker/Vipper/Nova/Cyclopsie/Badjack/Thunderwub/Thor/Jenner-D

have anything else to ask famm?

It's okay, but not the best Kodiak.

Only dashing is dumb enough to like the cent.

Updated the Roughneck inspired design with some different parts and added the bazooka on the shoulder to better match the layout.

kys

No, but user was trying to compare Spoopy's centurion to the MW3 one, which is downright crazy.

That isn't even a word reddit-user.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Announcing your life choice to your fellow shitposters is the first step to self acceptance. Congratulations.

I want to fuck a Dashing!

No you don't. He's a huge faggot.

What mech has the most energy hardpoints?

Dire Wolf probably, but Gargoyle and Stormcrow both fit 12 E. I think Nova too?

Nova can have more than 12, so can Dire Wolf.

What can you realistically do with all those laser hardpoints, though? 4 LPLs and 12 MPLs? Is there even a point?

12 flamers.

>is there even a point?

No, outside of SPL boating clans, particularly assaults, have no use for more than 8~ energy hardpoints (2LPL 6ML).

...

What about the Supernova?

Caps at 8

...

??? is this an MMO general now??

Next cashgrab mech when?

>when it looks better than the original
really tickles my pickle

dead kong mumble

Quad mechs when?

Vulture is love

Vulture is life

>tfw you see your name.

Were you on the team that bul lcharged the saddle, bottle necked your selves, and get fucking slaughtered by LRMs because the assaults keeps trying to back peddle and everyone was on their heels.

Or my team?

Really, you don't.

Best Clam LRM carrier? Preferably heavy or medium. Don't wanna be a potato assault who doesn't move with the team or share armor.

HGN-IIC-A :^)

>lrms
>heavy
Well, I never!

Why not? If you keep up some mobility, have backup lasers, and play with the team it can work really well in QP.

Tiger bump.

I felt like insulting Mechwarrior Online, and for some reason I felt like putting some effort into it. Then I went overboard.

Fat sad kitty.

Is it actually just fat or is it bloated up by some disease?

Anyone have an actual answer for this?

shanghaidaily.com/viral/cute/Photos-of-Chubby-Tigers-in-Harbin-Go-Viral/shdaily.shtml

Hunchback IIC, Huntsman, Jaguar, Timber Wolf.

I wonder if those tigers are friendly enough to let you hug them. Such a solitary animal usually doesn't have to live with so many other tigers in such a small space.

When is the skill tree going to hit again? I desperately want to buy a pepsi Summoner for something different but can't because lmao3mechs.

I want to hug one so bad. He looks so cute and fluffy. I wonder if it would be soft, like hugging a stuffed animal.

And I dunno, check Russ's twitter.

BEHOLD

It would probably be like hugging a really big housecat.

4x SRM Griffon. What are you, some kind of autist?

Better than dashing's dumbass warhammer builds.

No, autism would be my 9 SRM4 archer.
What he has is a standard, viable griffin.

>generic griffon build
>"are you some kind of autist"

what did he mean by this

>mfw mumble

Why aren't you in the Discord?

except I am literally in the discord right now my dude

gas yourself
