Cute Fox time!

I reused Cougar and Adder parts for this one so it was another quick concept. Came out quite nice I think.

Slower art posting lately considering all the mechs I have on my plate because I've been helping coordinate with Randal, Brent, and Ray on final mech selections. Also madly recruiting new 3D modelers to sculpt everything.

It looks great. I never liked the MWO interpretation of the Kit Fox and much more preferred the interpretation in Mech Commander back in the days. This one aligns very well with the Mech Commander one.

This looks really cool. I like the little fox. Small enough for a light, but sturdy to take some punishment and give it back with the Gauss. I'm really looking forward to all the new mechs!

Cool mech, the pilot has a super wide field of view :) Re-used parts make sense, they're omni mechs after all

Steven Cross

Superb update, a vast improvement over the original art whilst still keeping nice nods to it. :)

Tyler Erickson

Ah the Uller! I've been looking forward to seeing this guy. Looking good.

The kit Fox was always a bit of an ugly duckling, but now it’s like a pug; weird, small and full of personality lol

I had to look twice before I noticed the hip thing. This one looks really good. AND you kept the long barrels for the weapons. Awesome!

Robert Schuster

Looking good! I like the "shared" parts approach with the Adder and the Cougar because, well, that's what it's supposed to have! I always figured that the little nubbin on the front was the viewport, but I guess it's the in-between bit... time to repaint a few things.

Roberts comment above reminds me of, I think your own comment on the new Thunderbolt mini's cockpit. So I am a little concerned at how small the cockpit is on this, but otherwise its awesome!

Robert Moore

I hope the Ostsol and Ostroc make the final cut ;-) but great mech I always loved the kit fox!

Would like to see this one be a little more gangly. The MWDA Clix mini is actually my favorite version of the Kit Fox. It has a goblinoid feel to it that just adds a bit of mischief and menace to the ‘ Mech.

I really like what you’ve done and the “reused” parts fits in perfectly with the idea behind Omnis

Yep I like a lot of MC mechs, that was the first BT videogame I owned, then shortly after I got MW4 and MC2. Though previously I had played MW2 and 3.

The viewport varies between art and sculpts, some are very clear one way or the other. I believe how I've done it was the original intent, with the upper part being a sensor pod. Depending on the sculpt you have sticking to the pod might make more sense for glass.

They were highly requested in the kickstarter voting, and we all agree they deserve to be done. Still up in the air on if they make the KS though.

This is one of my sketches where I don't quite like the proportions so I'll have them finalized in 3D. The MWDA one was nice, though maybe a little too curved on the cockpit.

Richard Jensen

Sounds good. Just make it less Cute and more Killer. The prominent sensor suite also provides a sinister cyclopian aspect creating a one-eyed goblinesque aspect to this little bugger.

Legitimate. I mean people have been doing crazy things with the Commando cockpit since forever right?

Aaron Stevens

Absolutely love the cockpit and overall design, but the autocannon looks just a bit Tonka.

I’ve never understood the Kit Fox’s design. Looking at the old model and art, it seems to alternate between having: a) a one-eyed head over a jutting-out torso (with the gap you’re showing as a canopy acting as a neck). b) a giant one-eyed head (with the gap looking like a mouth). c) a giant head wearing a headlamp (with the gap being its eyes, as you’ve shown). d) a big head wearing a helmet with a headlamp - like c), except the upper half of the head is too wide to look like it’s all one head. My favorite of those is a), but I only get that impression from really old-looking art. I like d) second. But it’s a strange mech no matter how it’s done.

Poor Osts. Looks like in the end, none of them got enough love.
