BIG BOI.
Or short boi, it's gonna be one of our shortest 100ton mechs, until it potentially gets the Bane 3 treatment.

This old design is so ugly, but I've always seen the potential in it, so it was fun to revamp.

Working legs!

Holy shit! Utter perfection! Bliss. :D

Now that's total effort! No more derpy looking legs! :D Finally! The 2nd line VMI Non-IIC collection is complete

So, I have to admit I did not know about this Mech before. Had a quick read on Sarna. I have to say, the design looks pretty awesome.

Well done, another visually “ less than ok” mech that is much improved.

That is a thing of beauty. Can't wait to see if you do the 3

Nailed this one. The old one was... painful.

Oh my god! IT'S GOT KNEES!!

Finally a good normal looking Kraken.

That is a glorious looking mech and I’ve never seen it before, so your take on it is my original look at it.

The Kraken/Bane-3 variant is a bit more popular, as you can't complain carrying that many optimal clan LRMs around.

The original Kraken design was more or less the epitome of "we lost all semblance of art direction" in pre-Battletech-AGOAC. It, and designs like it (art wise,) led me to lose interest in the post-Clan Invasion era very quickly and VERY hard. Your re-design of these clunkers is as important and exciting to me as your amazing unseen re-designs. :)

I would do DARK THINGS for a Bane 3 mini. It is one of the most brutal mechs in the game. AFAIK, we've never gotten art for it, either.

This is the first I'm hearing of this mech's existence, and after having looked up the original art, I have to say; Thank you for your work. This is a much needed replacement.

The original art was a crime against nature. This is amazing!

I think people accept Plog's Bane 3 art as "canon". I'm not personally sure if it's actual canon art.

Look up the Bane 3. It's the best. They took missiles, added more missiles, and because someone apparently forgot that clrms don't have minimum ranges, added a single shot SRM pack. For even more missiles. once.

Steven Cross

Friend and I were chatting about this. those arms must be a nightmare. Each gun would have to have its own belt of ammunition going from a central ammo bin and that makes the interior complicated. And when you're firing the guns at full rate you'd also have firing pattern issues. If you're firing all 5 guns you've got vibration and vibrational harmonic issues to deal with, and have the Mech's computer timing the guns so that the firing of one gun does not interrupt the firing of another with its blast which could (and indeed would) affect the flight of a shell. I assume that each gun would basically fire in turn or fire in offset pairs.

This is *chef's kiss*. So happy about it!

I don't know if I can handle a Kraken with working joints and comprehensible geometry. Anthony Scroggins, you are trifling with forces man was not meant to know!

Looks way more threatening than the original and I like it.

At long last, the new Bane! The digitigrade leg structure makes the most sense with this chassis, especially when it comes to the 3-variant. I’ll still be working on my own Bane-3 resculpt, but I look forward to seeing a mini for this mech. Well done!

I vastly prefer Plog's redesign or Bradigus's version. Plog's has real heft to it and despite being just as chunky this seems like the focus of an episode of 'My 800 pound life.' Brad's looks menacing plus has the all important Zeon monoeye, along with looking like it could actually have the LRM 15s for the third config.

Impressive rework. The art looks 100% better. The Kraken is one of the worst sculpts and had some of the worst art. The reseen Kraken was terrible and the sculpt was awful. There was a ton of potential, proved by the Plogg's versions. The new XR solved some issues but it could be improved. Yours is spot on. I think that one of the legs has more details than the unseen Kraken and the reseen Kraken sculpts togheter. Also, Kraken 3. Please, moar LRMs

Noice.

The mono eye is cool but isn't that prevalent on canon depictions. I went the sleek head route that most have, while working in the vertical slit to at least give a little of the zaku vibe. Far as I'm aware no one has redesigned a Bane that can't carry the missiles, no matter what that always requires a full housing replacement. IMO I pulled off the legs better than Harri, but his are definitely an improvement on Plogs still inoperable ones. Plog certainly paved the way on this though, overall I like his a lot.
