Kane's Wrath Unofficial Big Bang Patch 1.04 is a mod that adds few new things and tries to balances the game a bit more from my and the community ideas while at the same time also tries to save the most import ingredient at bay: The "fun".
There's no saving a bad model, but you can at least try to spice it a bit ;p
Cyborg Commando's Model, Portrait, Ability button image, and Description, changed,
The main model and some animations EA screwed were fixed and I've added some unused beta animation along the way as well,
And most importantly the Commando has now 40% chance to spawn a Cybernetic Husk which is a disabled crawler version of the commando that can't do anything aside exploding on enemy's units (unlike TT ver which was some unless hijacker)
I basically was fixing the model at first and then thought I should try to change it a bit and was working on the new visor and head for a few days, and made some different models and colors, but didn't captured many of them aside few, you can see most of my tries here if you like:

Thx to how bad most of them were with the stealth effect I had to compromised with a visor that has some skull silhouette, and once you damage the cyborg bad enough you can see what was waiting you inside the shell all along ;)
What do you think?
Looks a bit goofy, but I like it non the less. Perhaps it could be cabal prototype found and used by the MOK?
I'm not super fond of the end result myself, but I feel like none of the other edit I did would've look better from the original model or will fit with the role it has (the stealth effect mostly limited me).
I don't have any sub-lore for it aside from how it was left there for LEGION similar to the other Cybrogs, but you're free to try and come up with one if you like.
I really loved this guy back then in TS, i think the model without the red glass on the head will be better(less goof) also PERSONALLY I think he would looks better if his armor was black or dark grey.
and one more think how come he isnt in CABAL faction?
Great job either way
I'm kinda was fine with the Camera head too, but I mostly insisted on the skull and visor thingy cause I've wanted from the CC to have some disturbing human features as it seem to looked like a walking lobster with camera head rather than a former human who became a cyborg,
So I've added a small silhouette and made the portrait in a way that hint people who notice that there's something inside the shell,
Then when they will break it and make it transform into the disabled husk ver, they will see what was waiting inside all along.
I think black look cool but that the red is distinguished enough for this model, it make it standout more than your casual cyborg which kinda help you notice it's the commando (I guess) xD
oh nice! i didnt notice the skull face! about the color how about a darker red then? something that make it feels more tactical and less Christmasy :P
Have you considered making the the dome or the torso and lower legs black?
Funnily enough the TT Nod Engineer actually looks pretty similar to the TS Cyborg Commando, just with goofy feet and that jetpack with extra arms on.
Umm no I didn't, I only thought on change it entrely to black and decided to keep it red, but I didn't thought on make only few body parts with black color 🤔
And I recall having the same thoughts about the TT engi at one point but completely forgot about it xD
I did found out that EA made space for a human head (similar to the beta Nod engi who was based it) when I cut the attached visor mesh from the model too which was quite the discovery:

And ironically enough, only the Beta Nod's Engi head looked more or less loyal to the cyborg heads from WW's art too.

Hi bro. Do you plan to put their coats of arms on the faction buildings in the future? For example, to put its coat of arms on the power station of the Black Hand, and so on? You can do the same with units. And although this is a small cosmetic change, but at the same time it will greatly affect the perception of the game! I just imagine how it will look, and it's gorgeous!
I went with a different approach for the sub factions for this one,
Just as EA ads they are sub factions, they aren't full faction but just branches of it, so it make more sense that they use 90% of the main faction stuff and only bothers to marks the things that belongs to them.
It's a pity, of course. Thanks for the reply.
Why BH units can't call transport???
That's how it was in vanilla too,
I only added it to the Saboteur and gave them back their airfield for balance sake.
the first one was mysterious this one looks more casual which feels off
otherwise the work is awesome keep up the good work;
How about a CABAL faction hehehehehe
Thx :3
And Idk atm about new factions, especially CABAL which don't feel related to the plot now when we have Legion.
