Vulture Concept Sketch

You were pretty sure it was coming, so here it is, the Mad Dog!
I grew up on the MW4 Vulture, so I'm biased towards its looks, and you'll notice I've closed the gap between it and the original here. This, much to the reeeee of some of my art crew haha, particularly around the nose.
I at least accept that everyone probably wants a slim Vulture rather than a fat MW4 style one.

So lets hear it from you lot! Do you like the left nose or the right nose?
General feedback accepted too.

Left nose for me

Taylor Shead

Right. Slim boy ftw.

Steven Molen

Right nose, too. I am for slimmer vulture

Right hand nose for me too.

Stewart Spencer

Right nose for sure.

Right side. Never liked the MW4 one, to be honest.

Cookie

Love both, but I'd prefer the one on the right.

Right side.

Right for me I think. Its a bit more sleek and deadly looking.

Andrew Dickinson

Am gonna vote right nose. It seems closer to the MWO design which I like. The legs are gorgeous!

Jakob Fredensborg

I like the right one. And finally the Mad Dog look beefy enough for a Heavy. The old models just were too fragile looking. Great Job!

Henning Boessler

My personal vote is for the left side version. I think it fits well with the Mad Cat’s newer aesthetic (which has plenty enough MW4 DNA in it).

Janes Interstellar

Left nose! Left nose! I honestly never thought the MW4 one was fat. I was very happy when IWM produced the latest Mad Dog, true to form MW4. While, I will of course purchase this one I would say that the excitement I got for the MW4 Mad Dog from IWM is not matched often.

Andrew McKenna

I think you are spot on with the missile pods. I was trying to figure out why they didn't quite click. a skosh narrower, too? Missiles need to be dialed down to more believable sizes (like an RPG7) anyhow.

Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)

That is a tough decision. I am leaning towards the right but would not be disappointed with either one.

It's that square nose that sets it apart form the modes that come later. As much as I love the MW4 Mad Dog, I got to go with the right hand one.

Definitely the one on the right. Feels more like the Classic Mad Dog.

I dig the right.

I would agree with the right nose faction, definitely.

The right is more in line with the old school dog. I think the missile pods could benefit more by being a tad bit smaller and pushed back, but overall, I do like it. I'm so happy you kept the long barrel arms.

I like the right nose. And does this unit have that nifty chin turret?

Tyler Erickson

Right for sure! That tiny touch makes it a clear relative of the classic Vulture design.

Hey I didn't think you were making one! That's great man.

Tyler Erickson

I’m feeling it for the design on the right. I like the extra bit of segmenting detail and I like that it doesn’t flare out like the one on the left

Anthony, this Mad Dog looks so awesome, I absolutely love it, it's excellent!!! I'm so going to buy one gazillion of these in the Kickstarter...to be honest, I like both nose designs, however if I'm pushed into a choice, I have a slight preference for the left one...thanks again for sharing these designs :)

Danny

Right for sure

Left feels like a cleaner design.

Richard Jensen

Right nose. I didn't realize how much that square meant to me.

Raymond White

Right nose, but I miss that turret under there. It was so iconic in the MW4 intro cinematic.

Alexander J De Santis

I like the right nose better. I would like the left more... if there was a pair of pulse lasers under it. Just feels a bit naked without them. Also, might just be me, but the legs (IMO) feel about 10% too tall. MWO version had the same issue... just too tall and upright in the legs. (conversely I'd also make the feet bigger. *shrugs*)

Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)

Right nose!

Robert Moore

my Boy! The Vulture will always be king among the original 16 Omnis in my mind. That said keep the squared sensor box on the nose in the right artwork. It gives it the homage to the Archer that served as the basis for the Center Torso Way back in the day

James Bixby

Right nose for sure. Thank you for keeping it thin while also bringing in the MW4 styling (which is close to my heart too)!

Robert Schuster

I like the left, a little bulbous but also just less busy

I prefer the right, slimmer nose

Damen DeLeenheer

They look amazing! I like the slightly thinner one on the right.

Steven Cross

Right one. It just feels right.

They both look good but I’ll take the right nose.

Right for me. Love the symmetry and modular sections of the MW4 Vulture being added to the slim profile of the older one.

Mitchell Berthelson

I like the left nose. But I am also partial to the MW4 Vulture - arm pods and chin guns included!

Lexikon

I like the right one myself. The slightly narrower profile.

I like the right one myself, a tiny bit slimmer. I grew up on the original Uber-thin version, so the beefy versions don’t look right to me.

MajorTom

this is great - don‘t change a thing! how would it look with two gauss rifles?🤓

I like them both, the left nose just edges out the right.
