I wouldn't mind a rhino re-work with a more player friendly shield and maybe some small stats upgrades (slow sidestep in shield mode?) Gep needs a Rog style stats upgrade first though.

Additionally, I wish Redesigns were handled differently... When a redesign was initially released, I wish an option to upgrade was given and the redesigns were permanently given a designation like GEPARD v.2 in hopes to add a layer of nostalgia to the game.

This! THIS! A thousand times this!! That would have been perfect. Ah well. Pixonic. This would also motivate at least people to uograde Mk2 bots they otherwise might have left Mk1... a visible status symbol just like a skin except with in-game advantages to go along with it. Well, continuing what you guys started - for the newest bots (dashes, inquisitor) make them mk2 by default. Keep the stats that they have for levels 1-12 mk1 but say it is mk2, because of the lack of previous design and supreme stats. Older bots that lack the stats to compete with those new robots may be upgraded to mk2, change their looks, get that ~20% buff each level and be more useful again. This way a lvl 12 new bot may be considered as equal to a lvl 12 mk2 old bot (and they kinda are already). Imagine a mk2 lvl 12 Destrier battling lvl 12 Kumiho wouldn't it be great? I'd like my idea implemented in the game, but... too late anyway.

I'm quite sure that the bot in the first pic is a re-designed Stalker. EDIT: oh damn, it's a Griffin! I didn't see the spots of the light weapons on top! Anyway, it looks more like a Stalker, and I don't like it. The second model is much more similar to the Griffin we have now, and it's a good redesign. The first image actually has some Japanese characters in the lower right hand corner, which I'm managed to translate as "Jet". It's another flying robot, most likely.

And I'm interested to know what will happen to existing skins on old bot. Will there be any new skins? Will they refund the Au? Ha Ha, you said "refund". They would never do that.

I don't think so... same hardpoints, same thrusters... pretty sure that is a Griffin design.

Why would they go out of their way to name a Griffin redesign as something completely different? The thrusters don't look very similar, either.

Idk what to tell ya about the name... could be the part that they were focusing on (the intake and thrusters are part of the jet system), or... well... who knows...? But look at the Boa redesign... *shudders. Very similar in the amount of change. Here... look, thrusters and air intakes are in the same locations and the hardpoints are the exact same: They even made the new one look like a Griffin's beak at the cockpit and made the feet look like claws. I still say it's the Griff Mk Deuce. Or, a possible sketch of their direction with the Griff, at least. But we could both be wrong and it could be the first step in both a redesign and an inclusion into a Voltron type bot that will force all matches to go to Melee with energy swords for the two squad leaders at some point in a match... *shrugs*... for all we know.

I like the idea of "new" and "classic" versions of the bots, with the option to choose which you want. Its satisfying to think you would get the "old school" vs the "hot shots" in approach.
Please no to making it a mk2 requirement to get the newer skins though. My marriage has suffered enough.
