Re: New mounts in 5.4 so far...
not sure if it means anything, but the achievement icon for Siegecrafter Blackfuse looks VERY similar.SpiritBinder wrote:Interestingly enough, the "shredder" model did come with a lot of flying animations....

there is also an icon for "ability mount stormcrowmount"
also the achievement icon (and PTR dungeon journal) for Galakras is red, so perhaps the mount will also be red?
PTR is not at all stable for me right now (loads about 90% then LOLNOPE), so as soon as I can get in, I will screencap the dungeon journal.

Re: New mounts in 5.4 so far...
I'm not surprised that an achievement icon looks the same/similar, they do recycle icons at times and the achievement might even involve the new model.
The storm crow mount however, I had heard nothing of that, can’t wait to see what that’s linked with.

Edit:
Re: New mounts in 5.4 so far...
And... stormcrow?? I wonder what it'll look like! It's hard to guess from that icon. A blue Thunder Isle bird mount with lightning? A new phoenix?
And the shredder is looking more and more like a raid thing. Doesn't mean it couldn't be a mount too, but it looks like it was primarily designed for a raid encounter.

Re: New mounts in 5.4 so far...
Also the mount was labelled "Reins of Galakras" so it assumable that it is actually her you have as the mount. rather than if it was labelled "Brood of Galakras" or "Galakras Drake" or what not making her mounted version more likely to be a variation of.
(edit)
Wain beat me
Oh and also for the SiegeBreaker Achieve, it could be linked to this model, that does have a very similar look to the "shedder" mount

Re: New mounts in 5.4 so far...
But it makes me wonder. They did end up putting the plagued one back in, if you're lucky enough to snag it on the BM, so it seems to me like this might be the black one coming back!
Or maybe I'm just overly hopeful.(;

Re: New mounts in 5.4 so far...
Unfortunately the model isn't rendering 100% correctly. The eyes are blank, and the regions that should have hair (the neck and the spurs) instead have miniaturized copies of the armour skin. But at least the model is mostly complete.
I've updated WCM with the new image: http://www.warcraftmounts.com/mounts/galakras.php

http://ptr.wowdb.com/npcs/72249-galakras
The title says The Last Brood of Galakrond, so you are right!
I also feel the Galakras model isn't finished. The Northrend red model isn't red enough for that, and they really can't give us what is essentially an old model with new armor for a boss AND an achievement meta mount. Plus, all other models are somewhat new.
Also Not a Sky Claw was changed to Sky Golem, and it is confirmed that it is the Shredder model. So all you engineers with a lot of money, oh, and goblins -- yay?
And a video of the model.

I like the swingy flight, and absolutely love the dome closing on you when it swims. Also the proppelers... /enginerdgasmsqueee
Does anyone know if he's engineering-restricted for use? My panda shammy (herb/alch) would sooo love him, so she wouldn't have to count on my nelf druid farming herbs for her. Plus, with blue/gold, it would fit her mog
Anyway, I'm starting stalking AH for cheap Living Steel RIGHT NAO!

Well if you want to get technical it's a Chinese guardian lion, Foo dog is the white person name for it XD I am captian picky and I shall pick things!SpiritBinder wrote:Oddly enough there are quite a few metal/mechanical Golem designs and concepts (normally in relation to video games), I guess it's just the adaption of the Jewish folklore and the inanimate matter thing.

But Blizz is famous for that. Don't get me started on how they handle minerals and ore... Copper is about the only one that actually is correct, sorta. And then there's the fish....
