I think the entire legs and feet of the CBT version should be kept, but i have to say i really like the new arms.  If it was my decision i would be tempted to make the arms interchangeable for different variants.

EDIT

Hhehehe i was confused. bravo on the good looking hybrid, i tend to lean against the pod version though.... it breaks a lot of lore, and made several authors mad when they used it for Mech4

Probably because it's squat, wide, and boxy with stubby winglets that are only useful as weapons mounts.

Has there been any more development on the vulture recently?

I do like the model more now that I looked at it for a while. Keep it and work on the other stuff instead. I think we can all get along with it! And maybe this can be some sort of MWLL branding on the mechs.

I'm a old die hard fan, I like the old type of Vulture. No under torso turret, like what u seen from the old MW3 game and in the cartoon of old Battletech. Was a bit off when MW4 came out with the new vulture, they tryed to update a old mech that already look good and failed.

I say with the new one looks cool, but make it a new mech in the med class as that what it looks like.

I think the problem with many designs that try to strike a balance is that they strike a balance in the wrong sense of the word. I think it would be better if the two designs weren't melded, but combined. What I mean by this is, avoid striking the balance between, lets say, the gunpod arm or a laser like gun arm, or an arch type foot or chicken type foot, and leave these individual components alone, but combine them with the other components. Leave the elements as they are and determine which is best of each. Maybe that design would work? For example, take the missile launcher pods of the mw2 mad dog/vulture and replace it with the mw4 one, but take the mw4 gun pod and replace it with the mw2 one, etc. That way, get the best of both worlds without sacrificing the individuality of each of the components.

I say stick with the original one, or the new one.. The hybrid's arms just look wrong, there's no other 'Mech that has arms that look liek that at all..
