Been using my l33t skills on infraview to put together a bigger image of the BFRs from the magazine article, i made them larger, sharpened them up, and you can see the details on each mech better, the images are in order from top, to bottom; NC Peregrin, TR Colossus, VS Aphelion. But one BFR caught my eye. If you look hard enough at the NC BFR, you may notice a cockpit with what appears to be a soldier sitting in it, i have outlined the features, but again I could be wrong. But if its true then it will shed new light on the size of these BFRs, and hopefully stop peoples ideas of them being 20m tall, and i know the article says that, but i believe that is a misprint, they look more to me like 10-15m tall, even whilst comparing the vanu with the BFR in the larger picture.

Original Article;

The BFRs image made larder, in order from top to bottom, NC, TR, VS.

Finally the NC BFR size comparision, all gas'd up and ready for flames. Driver is outlined in green, with features semi-visible, especially in the helmet visor area.

Hope all these images work, and i know im open to a ton of flames, but these are my views and speculations, take them as you may.

Maybe you should use your "l33t skills on infraview" to zoom in on the second paragraph under the heading "Mutually Assured Destruction" and you will notice that the first sentence says "Standing about 20m tall, these BFRs....".

Burned. And seriously, do we need three threads on this?

Fist off your right, it does say ABOUT 20m tall, second off i was basing my accusations on the size of the driver in the NC BFR compared to the entire BFR.

Haha, of course, the NC one is a smaller target, and it's gonna be faster than the TR with super accurate instant kill railguns, :/

Don't forget more armor.

And a couple of less crewmen.

By the way, you do realize you put 20 mm in your topic title, which is 20 millimeters, which is substantially less than 20 meters. I couldn't help but pick that up.
