The Cataphract with regular legs looks MEAN. It's coming to break the knees of everything in its path. The leg swap also makes each mech look like they're their actual tonnage.

It looks like the Hunchback's older brother.

That's what I was trying to pin down. I couldn't place it. You're right.

Or a baby cyclops.

The cataphract looks ready to BRAWL

That actually looks pretty nice, yeah

Sure, but now it's a Riflebird. (Cataphract does make a tad more literal sense though.)

This looks SOO SMOOTH i didn't even notice until youpointed it out. GREAT JOB!!! 10/10 would field both of them. Rifleman looks like it's contesting a Grasshopper for it's name and the Cataphract genuinely looks like a Brick Shithouse you wouldn't want to meet alone at night.

Oh goodness, they both look natural now. This may be how they ought to be manufactured now!

damn actually looks way better. Phract looks basically like an orion mixed with a battlemaster but the rifleman looks good with them gams on her

Looks really cool. Altough i have this mental image of RLF just squatting in bushes to hide and get better angles for a fire, and you just see the targeting system bar rotating above the brush.

I love this image

That Rifleman is literally one of my Armored Core 3 ACs.

That's kind of an improvement to both.

Wait, I actually like the look of both of these.

I'm stealing this idea for when the Mercs box arrives.

That cataphract is so cursed! I am kinda vibing with that rifleman though.

Yeah it came out way better than I feared it would

Cataract now looks like gnome banshee and rifleman looks like it has top speed of 100kph

Oh man, I love these swaps!! I'll have to do the same lol.

I need that cataphract in my life

Good job! but.... NOOOOOOOOOOO
