Thor air attack animations?
Ooookey, the last time I saw the Thor, it blasted the hell out of buildings with their back cannons and blasted the hell out of ground units with those Thorīs hammer particle cannon (badass name, BTW), all of this with nice, filled with power animations. But it was said than the ultimate battle mech was mainly an air counter. Have you guys seen the current air attack animations? As far as I see, it was atacking with the same animations as the artillery strike, but with the cannons aiming to the sky instead of 180°. Any information?
Re: Thor air attack animations?
I'm still crossing my fingers we come out the other end with flak cannons instead of whatever it is he's got now. Rockets? Bleh, it's been done. In fact, it's being done by the Missile Turret.
Re: Thor air attack animations?
so, you prefer the older "new" image as the Thor with those ginormous evangelion-like shoulder pods instead of the cannon backpack? Got all my support

Those are Blizzard's attempt at modifying Gundam Meteors :P
Missile pods... they look more like tank treads.

Re: Thor air attack animations?
mmmmh...just use your imaginations, I guess. It looks good, no matter what the hell is it. And now, back to bussyness. The thor has a specific air attack animations? rockets? lasers? flying thunder hammers? addytional pylons?
Re: Thor air attack animations?
The missiles come out of the shoulders or something I think, currently the only thing the cannons are used for are the barrages. Personally, I liked the flak cannon.
But to be honest, I think Nicol mentioned this somewhere and I'm starting to agree with that, the Thor has so many attacks it feels like a true mech in a way. It's got its main attack, its shoulder rockets or w/e, and its barrage attack. That's pretty cool.

Needs rocket boots.
Re: Thor air attack animations?
I think we need to all take a lesson from anime.
We have to put a floating device on the Thor, to allow it to go airborne. Then we add massive chest lasers and have it revert back to its slow 360 turning mechanics, so that when it shoots its laser beam, it does an awesome 360 rotation destroying everything on the map.
We also have to add wheels to the legs, like rollerblades, so it can move faster.
Hmmm, give it a powersword, some giant machine guns here and there, rockets holsters all over the legs arms and shoulders.
And etc.

YES! But it shouldn't be a powersword. It should be a powerchainsaw!

It doesn't matter how many guns a mech has. A tank only needs one to rape it with. ^^
Re: Thor air attack animations?
I would say that Thors are more based on SDF Macross' Destroid Monster.
Re: Thor air attack animations?
i thought Thor didn't have an air attack, how much damage's it deals?

So, we agree in just one thing. Thor= Rape

Re: Thor air attack animations?
I disagree with your Viking/Veritech comparison. Their main similarities are their ability to transform and their vehicle mode being fightercraft. Appearance-wise, their walker-modes look quite different. I think the Viking's looks much more similar to C&C's Wolverine (size difference notwithstanding).

Re: Thor air attack animations?
^ that looks like crap.
the viking is a little fat.
Re: Thor air attack animations?
I just hate the whole "mech godlike" unit with all those useless cannons and plenty of other useless stuff which is kinda lame, Goliath was great.
Re: Thor air attack animations?
I think the Viking is pretty cool. Can't wait to see how the Thor looks in scale.

That's a pretty old screenshot by now. I'm sure there is a less blury one lying around too.
