Not a bad way of explaining the new appearances.
So to all those who dislike any MW:DA mech design: It is the WOB's fault! Kill them!!
On further examination, the Caplleans are also to blame. As if we needed more reason to smite them.

One more link per month. 
I like the designs, and the art. They don't look much like the originals (except the thunderbolt) but that's to be expected. These I will add to my collection as soon as Iron Wind puts them in my local gamestore.
And I really apreciate CBT for bringing the unseen back.

Actually the Locust has that Locust look to it IMHO.
Yes it is very nice to see them back...

Actually, you're right on that point...... I would have like the laser to be underslung, though. It also looked a lot more beefy, which I like.

Because the older picture gave it that "bird like" look and feel that matched it's speed and over all fragileness.

Atlas is not an Unseen thus there is no need to redraw it...if TPTB go that route to mix in the MWDA robots well that is up to them...and to set the record straight, I have NOT been the only one to speak out against the MWDA plastic mechs.

I think they all resemble the originals very well, enough to look close enough for use and different enough to not get in trouble again.
Thunderbolt does look the most like the original, but the Pheonix Hawk looks pretty darn close as well. That Marauder though sure resembles the Penetrator. And that Locust new look is sweat....

Wow! It's great to see the Unseen...err...Seen back in the game. They look similar to their original forms (except the Marauder, which looks like the evil twin brother of the Caesar), but I'll reserve judgement until I see the new Shadow Hawk and Wolverines.
Yea, verily. Let it be known far and wide that Nightward loathes MW: DA. Indeed, it is with the BURNING ANIMUS OF A THOUSAND SUNS that he doth rage against it with.

No, others have complained about them, but it does seem odd that you speak in anger against those molded in plastic, yet compliment these written on paper. I expect the two categories will merge into one (especially considering the fluff text on these remakes).

I don't follow the connection you are making here. The Unseen being returned with new art is more important then MWDA.
IF they become clicky bases plastic toys then that is up to WK. I have NO plans on buying them that way and will hope that Iron Winds Miniatures has plans for pewter versions...
So could you please explain you point since you have LOST me on what is you were trying to tell me.

Looking at the new Marauder it seems that the big changes were that they took the gun off the top of the mech and put it down in the torso and lost the NOSE that stuck out on it...so it looks squater but it still has the feel of the original I think.
And I took can't wait to see the Shadow Hawk and the Wolverine!

Excellent and over on Rick's Heavy Metal board it has been hinted at that WK is trying to put some distance between MWDA and BT and to them having click based versions of the Original mechs is not the path their marketing department wants to go and they feel it would be a step backwards.
So it seems we have our UNSEEN back and that is a major improvement.

My line of thinking is that you (and plenty of others) were opposed to the new looks of the MWDA mechs as much as to the gameplay and size issues. Maybe the point I am trying to make is a bit more subtle that I realized, but I suspect that the same Atlas you spoke against will be in this sourcebook, as well as the SRM Black Hawk and other twists on classic and semi-classic designs.

I just think that the plastic MWDA mechs just look BAD. With the increase of size they should have been able to make them look better.

Those are absolutely awesome!!!! I really like the new look of the Marauder; and the T-bolt looks sweet as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the new Warhammer and Archer look like.

The MWDA mechs look very childish/cartoonish when compared to the mechs of CBT. The mechs from "classic" look more realistic, or at least as realistic as a 10 meter tall walking tank from the 31st century can.
All the mechs for MWDA I've seen have exagerated features that look retarded. Such as the huge missile packs on the Black Hawk, the "hatchet" that is as big as the Hatchetman, and those butt-ugly spikey pads on the Atlas (And that big round head on the Atlas too).
In comparison the "new" 'Unseen" mechs look positively awesome.

At last they're back!!! The unseens are my all time favorites(for the most part) and I love that they're back. I'm a little sad that they had to be redrawn but given the circumstances I understand and will definately buy them all.
Besides the ones already mentioned, which ones are also coming back? All of them, most of them, the most popular? I'd like to see them all come back including even the quad unseens. (But not the Ost variants, those are the only unseens I don't like)
