Anyone else prefer the old missile weapon textures for the Pinata, Tulumbas, and Pin?

I also liked the old mechanic of the Pinata, Tulumbas and Pins. Buff was highly unneeded and the redesign makes them look disgusting in your hangar.

Textures?? Do you mean what they look like?
Yes. Old ones looked better, except possibly the pin.
The piñata now looks like a ray gun

I will say that Tulumbas pin looks really good on Galahad now.

I think the old ones were terrible. The black and red palette clashed with almost every bots color scheme. The tulumbas model resembled a computer tower / game console / vcr, pinata looked like a bread box, pin like a dust-buster. The new models look much more like military hardware and colors now match bots better.

I do not like the new textures of the weapons - Geckko included. I think it is the most annoying thing about the update - lol. They are too complex/busy - Unrealistic. If you look at real life examples of rocket pods or artillery to compare, they are stupidly simple - A box or a cylinder with holes in it for rockets - not all of these crazy lines.

The boxy thing of the new ones looks awful. The old pin look just as awful, but if it's all or nothing, I'd like th eold ones back.

Well the old designs look cartoonish, but at least they have colors. The new ones look like bare steel without paint. I prefer the new shape, but please color it. The rest of the bots and weapons already look cartoonish, including the dash bots. This makes the weapons seem out of place.

They all look the same, like crap. My guess is that is what they will do to some bots. They look really weird on the Griff.

I am afraid Pixxo designers were bitten by Michael Bay, and it's contagious.

I like the new mechanic of the Tulu/Pin/Pinata, but like it's been said by many people, the new look is way too cartoony for me. The Dash bots look way too alien, the redesign of the Schutze is bad (I'm probably the only person here who gives a Schutze about that bot), and in all honesty the firing animations of almost all weapons/projectiles need to be toned down, too cartoony, too much fake, it's all just so bad. The entire reason why I started playing in the first place is because it was much more realistic in the beginning than it is now.
There, I had my one rant for the month, don't mind me. Just hatin' on the new look of things AND the direction Pix is taking the game is all.

Every time I saw my hangar with the new Pinatas it looked like a giant baseball shoved in a trash can on top of my Griffin. Switched back to aphids just so I didn't have to see it like that.

Only the pinata the protrusion on top of the weapon looks weird. Pin and tulu looks better than the old one, especially tulu

I like the new look much better, as well as the new mechanics.

God I HATE the new models. And not just for the weapons, the bots too. Shutze especially. Rogatka? Don't like it, loved the old one, but I can live with it. But the Shutze? You could see its lineage with the Boa and Leo. It was gorgeous. The new one is an abomination. But it is still killing fools who underestimate it.

All of the redesigned weapons and bots look terrible. The sad thing is... they're probably gonna 'update' all the remaining weapons and bots eventually, too. Not looking forward to it.

I just don't like that pins and pinatas look so similar now. An important aspect of the game is identifying ranges of your opponents. It was already hard enough using a phone screen, now it's just harder.

Honestly, I think it's a wash.
If they had not gone with garish neon highlights, I don't think we'd have these threads.

To be honest, design never seems to have been a strong suit of Pixonic. There's no defined 'head' style for example. Some robots clearly have a head like the Griffin. Some robots like Gareth seem to have a weapon for a head. Some robots like Carnage don't seem to have any viewports at all.
On a related note. Some robots have arms, some don't.
I think however the new dash bots do seem to have a certain consistent style and flair superior to anything before. So let's see how it plays out.
