Meet the new muton.  He's ugly as shit.
The proportions seem... off.

Friendly reminder that old mutons were purple dudes in green spandex suits :p

This, honestly. The new one actually looks... "alien", for lack of a better word, as opposed to the above or what was effectively a robot with a face and anger management issues in nuCOM 1.

A better word is, "like the end of a penis."

Apparently that information was leaked early, and they pulled the muton information from the main XCOM site.

I swear, the next alien to be revealed better also have some kind of sexual innuendo in its design or I'll be severely disappointed.

I like it tbh, better than old and older muttons. Gun could use work though :v

Yeah, but I feel like degenerating existing mutons into alien mutons feels weirder than just having hideous aliens from the get-go. We already know what these things are, so it's not like there's a ton of mystery to be gained by dehumanizing them, and they supposedly got that way from receiving human DNA, which raises all sorts of questions.

That said, the longer I stare at it the more it grows on me. I just feel like retconning mutons into squids or something is a weird way to go about it.

Eh. It sorta fits with what they seem to be trying to do; note that the main difference between the two is how much is covered by the armor. I think the implications are supposed to be that these are what the ayy lmaos look like when they're not Thin Men/covered in power armor. The Sectoids are the only ones that actually look like they've been crossed with humans.

I'm cool with it but it's a bit funny since this is the result of adopting human DNA.  Yet they look less human (unlike the Sectoids).
Looks cool though.
