Dave School has put up a preview trailer for the upcoming Mechwarrior movie they are working on.

You can view it here.

Wow, that was quick.

Frakkin' Sweeeeet!!! I can noy wait to see the finished version. Anyone have any idea when this will be done? Is it going to be a webcast or do we have to buy it? Anyhow, nice work to the Dave School folks, keep it up.

I have to say, it is pretty good, will the story be good?

i noted the following things:

Jackalopes can pack in 6 at a time on one pod of an Aurora class Dropship. thats two full companies of mechs.... WOw....

interestingly enough, the doors on the aurora open nothing like the table top miniature does. the upper door is actualy two speperate moving parts.

the thunderfox has to ability to walk 'sideways' to keep it's rear from being a target.

we see briefly. an overloard class dropship lifting off.. just before the new looking Atlas tears apart a Madcat II

i noted: at least 2 Magonel, 1 Madcat Mk IV, 1 Battlemaster, 2 Thunderfoxes, Tukogawa's, a morningstar, hoards of Oni Ba's, an Overlord Dropship, an Aurora Dropship, a MadCat MkII, 4 Yasha Vtols, and one really pissed off looking Atlas.


looks good guys. now lets see how much other stuff can be seen. WolfHunters against RotS is fine and dandy, but their far frm the ONLY factions in the universe.

The loud operatic score will go a long way toward drowning out what is sure to be mediocre acting.

Now that my required bit of pessimism is out of the way I can start geeking out like I really want to. All of the CGI looks sweet. The modeling was spot on and the movement was realistic. I think the Jackalopes should have been jumping a round a lot more but that is a minor quibble...

I am loving it so far. Can't wait for the finished product. One thing though does anyone know what the projected run time will be. I thought I heard something along the lines of 20 minutes... or was I imagining things. Anyone know?

Freakin Sweet. There better be some DVD's that we can buy after it comes out. Geeking out too much. Love it all. Cockpits look a little big, and I love the two types of helmets in the trailer. "Born to Kill" on one and the other with the red triangle found on WH units. I love that Mangonel, heck I love it all. Great job guys. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

Actually the way the T-Fox was moving worked well with the sidestep rules for quads in CBT. Overall, I think this looks pretty good for an Indi (and class project at that) film, I can forgive some cheesy acting if there is any ;)

One of the early shots int he trailer shows 4 gatling-type guns swivelling in unison - these are the 'antenna' on the Jackelopes, ostensiby their anti-missile system. The detail on the actual figs isn't generally good enough to pick up on what those are supposed to be.

That's what I thought they were.

I actually think that the BA in the trailer are Angerona. Big gun and the raised triangluar shoulders look like them.

Nice! One complaint: is it just me or does the Atlas look like it's made of legos? Other than that: MUST SEE FINISHED VERZION TO WATCH WH TAKE ROTS DOWN!!! :p

That is just too sweet!

Pretty cool, but did anyone find the huge oversize gun on the atlas funny? what is that, a
rac 40?

Why? So the Dominion can drop down and take back the planet. Yeah I would like to see that too. Perhaps this is how we get our SA. Through the outright bashing of each other's heads. Funny how we did not see a Kelswa in that. :p
