Here's my few cents:
1. In terms of looking sheer badass the second one takes the win outright. It looks like a high-tech powered suit of armor built to go toe to toe with beasts that can rip your face out. Mk II over Mk I any day
2.However, I'm not sure if it will go with the setting. That seems like an awful lot of resources to be spent on something that is built in numbers and is highly expendable. Mk I looks flimsy enough to be something built in large numbers but functional enough to put up a resistance. Also gives a feeling of vulnerability going up against them beasts. Cant be spending all mined resources building high tech suits of armor that may not survive even one battle. Not much of a big deal, considering creative freedom and whatnot, but nonetheless.
3. Continuing from the above these seem like something that would be better off being power suits instead of massive mechs, perhaps a scaled down version, but that might be cutting far too close to Anthem.
4. The Mk I with a few modifications to the overall design might be a better option instead of a complete redesign. Retain the flimsiness, change the limb design.
5. Biggest concern to me with the Mk II are two-fold: time and cost impact. Time taken to re-build the omniframe with concept art for all three variants and cost of doing so + how much it eats into the current available bank. Also this will require updates to all instances of these being promoted, including the website (nothing major, but just putting it out there)
All said and done, I love the new design, looks proper sci-fi and techy, but I'd rather settle for a tweaked version of Mk I, or something in between the two variants.
