so... it's just me or many people found the new max design looks weird?

[Kouza]

Look good. The bigger they are the harder they fall

A gas mask over the mouth would look awesome
It's utterly stupid design to have your face hanging out of the front of a 8 inch think suit of armour, i hope they change it

What kind of weapons does the NC MAX have anyway? A staple gun and a crowbar? Hello?

It kinda reminds me of the first Ironman suit that Tony Stark throws together in the cavern. I'd prefer the sexy MkII version.

No offense T-Ray but please redo the entire thing.

I like that each faction has their own design. Good work devs

SOE says those are renderings on the Facebook page. My eyes must suck, because those look more like a high detailed conceptual drawing to me.

shotgun cannon and multi-purpose opening device wither it be a door or your enemies face.... and no you like?

The NC max looks hideous, he looks like someone put on a suit full of magnets and then went dumpster diving.

VS MAX looks like your thing if you're into japanese anime, abit too insectoid though. (which isn't a VS motif as far as I am concerned. )

But the Terran republic max looks great. They really ruined the NC max by going crazy on each individual bell and whistle, It doesn't look like a stable exoskeleton, that thing is going to fall apart at any given moment!

A MAX that is going to leave a trail of parts leading to our position is no MAX I want to go into battle with...

They all look awesome and unique, I like them all. The VS MAX looks a bit too anime-ish but that's my only complaint, they don't have any weapons attached yet because the weapons are switchable which is why the NC MAX has a 'crowbar and stapler'.

[Zulthus]

I don't think the VS MAX looks anime-ish at all; I think it looks amazing.

[2coolforu]

Whatever, aesthetics are personal taste afterall. The gun looks frigging awesome though, looks like a lance cannon or something the Eldar would use.

I like the NC and TR ones a lot. VS might be drawing a little too heavily on the anime influences, for my tastes, and also has kind of a specter of the BFR debacle to it.

The TR and NC versions are very iconic, though, I think, in their subtle reflection of their empires' modus operandi. The TR MAX definitely looks like it rolled off an assembly line based on an old corporation's design-by-committee with its bold, but sleek lines and tight apparent build quality.

The NC MAX, on the other hand, is very raw and functional. It's the kind of thing I can envision has been modified and improved upon by engineers in the field, and that isn't quite entirely standardized from region to region, since each facility in the loosely organized infrastructure creates a slightly different version or what have you.

Seriously, the max suit has NOTHING to do with anime. It has an alien feel to it, which is what the VS are about.

[Grimster]

I can't say I see the anime influences on the VS MAX either.

I think they all look great.

It's nice to see that all max-es recieve about equal hate/love. These visuals (including the magrider) sure helped me pick a side. Can't wait for Thresher.
