So I was curious of the differences between the stock Griffin and the Scavenger Griffin and made a composite image of both of them overlayed:  The differences are minor but the overall shape is the same, but when investigating the Scavenger Griffin closely I realized it looked... Familiar...  Hmmm...  Of course! the fabled redesign that never went live!  But why hasn't the stock Griffin given the same treatment? Why did they do this? Will Griffin receve his makeover? Or are they planning on only releasing further redesigns as decorated costumes? |

Yea I think it was supposed to be a Mad Max version. Something about being put together from scavenged parts in a desert or something. Pix completely missed an opportunity here to give it some crazy ability. Half of an Ancile perhaps? An awkwardly placed heavy mount?

And why would I want that when I already bought into Pix scheme and have full hangar of meta bots? It’s a cosmetic skin kid and nothing more. Pay up to get the real good stuffs, just like how it is in real life that you will soon find out. |

I enjoy the game for different reasons and those reasons are mine. |

So basically the redesign got scrapped in a literal sense, and was recommissioned by whoever salvaged it from a junkyard

This is goofy pixonic marketing aimed at the newer players. I think the "remodel"/skin is kinda cool looking. Did I already sell mine, hell yes, lol. Many of us have already leveled griffins, some of us 4 or 5 even. Although, I can see new players will A) be a little more tempted to do the operations pass over the free one. Especially if they don't have griffin. And remember it's getting its own legendary pilot too. B) Spend money leveling it when they will grow out of relatively soon when they hit the pay wall.
Like it was mentioned above, if pix was even moderately smart, they'd release something like a stealth modified griffin. Paint the thing shiny jet black and put a measly two second stealth at the apex of it's jump. Just 2 seconds is nothing and wouldn't affect good players targeting them but it'd be a cool spin on it. It would be basically to break lock on's and cause few shots to miss. Hell if they did something like that, I may even try one out.

Along with the Blitz skin which is a reference to Lord of the Rings, the Scavenger Griffin is a reference to another movie, Mad Max. The game is full of movie or franchise related Easter Eggs.

Steam had the real redesign during the graphics update debacle last Dec/Jan. Looked pretty good (the new Griffin I mean).
The Scavenger Griffin is just the same kind of new skin on Griffin, as a few other bots and weapons have (such as Cthulhu Ares).

Imdeed my wallet is open as long as what’s proposed by Pix is reasonable (subjective measure...). The most recent Op pass is a good deal to me given how much resource it gives you while you play, whereas those $75 dollar deal for meta bot is not. I just can’t get over myself to shell out more money than a AAA title for a pixel bot or weapon. It’s all subjective though at the end... Some rich kid spending their dads money might not care.. Back to Griffin. What’s the max ability cooldown reduction the new leg pilot has? |

Gives a little added colour to the hangar. :-)   |

What would fit the theme, would be having a heavy weapon on one side (making it non-symmetrical and wonky-looking), and extra 50% speed before jump (for like 5 seconds) and ability to abort the jump (sort of like Mercury without damage) so it would actually have a chance on the battlefield... Oh and give reduced reload for Punisher/Avenger, and flamethrowers. Run, jump, land, kill with Madmaxy weapons.

Maybe double shuffle whilst walking forward. Torso only spins one direction. |

You get the legendary pilot and the "legendary" bot. Agree though, if they're gonna go for this kind of scheme they should have put something a little different on the Scavenger Griffin since it's got its own name an all. Like More health or resistance since it's got those slap on armour and spikes thingies. |

I kept mine, and got the stupid Legendary pilot for him too. Put them together, leaving them at L1 just to have it there to stare at it. not worth much to sell, and the Griff is an old favorite. I kind of miss the days of popcorn griffins, with DB, RDB, PDB, spec ops builds. Raven is a nice replacement. Sold that POS Ares I won during the last even though  I was going to keep it around just to lift my leg and pee on it once in a while but I'd rather have the 5.6m silver. Sold the 2nd Fen I just got from the gold chest too...only need one of those wobbling around. |
