Description
Thought I'd try my hand at redesigning the Flashman! Based off of the 3D model of the Flashman from Mechwarrior 2:Mercenaries with modded proportions.Feedback appreciated!

Very nice work. For some reason the Flashman is one of those mechs that seems to always look better when fans draw it than what we actually see in the books. Heck the only one in an actual TRO that I liked of it in terms of looks is the one from the "newer" version of the TRO 3025 where it is looking off to the side which I think looks fairly cool but the other versions I am not as much a fan which is too bad because it is mostly built how I would like a mech with heavy armor, energy weapons, and even an anti infantry weapon (only missing jump jets and hand actuators to make me 100% happy).
With that said this is definitely one of my favorite versions I have seen thus far along with another version I have seen around on this site (I believe it had something about a panda on the side that one was cool too) though I like that this one uses an art style more like what you would see in a traditional TRO.

Thank you! It was a ton of fun to draw up! I agree, the flashman does have a tendency to look kind of dinky. The version from Mech2:Mercs inspired me to take this one on because of that specific reason.
Anywho, life has gotten me real busy lately, but I hope to have new art posted soon!

Yes I remember that game very well. Still have the disk but it does not work on any of my current computers. Great game and a lot of fun managing your merc lance. I think my mech I used the longest was the jenner you find early in the game and later the Thug which gave me a lot of good feelings on that mech.

The Thug was amazing! I reconfigged mine to have 2 LLs in place of the PPC's and Med Lasers in place of the SRM boxes. Mean mech that one. Look up MechVM when you get a chance, it's a fan made program that will let you run any version of Mech2 on a modern PC.

Will do thanks. My thug kept the PPCs (they were the bomb in MW2Mercs) but I too also used a battery of lasers eventually medium pulse versions (which were also vicious in that game).

Since MW2 Mercs that guy is haunting me - some missions went completely sideways when the a bot Flashman appeared. Its a great mech and an ugly design, I really really like your conversion.

Thanks! As a matter of fact, my version is drawn on top of the 3D model from the Mech2 Mercs version with modded pose and proportions!
