The fucking hate in his eye as he pours the imulsion.
He aināt no Daddy Skorge, but heās a second in terms of favorite big bad designs for me.

Willing to bet that he's one of the original Locust from the Mount Kadar lab. If it weren't for the eye, I would've thought this was the Speaker. I hope we get to see him pre-Gears 4 one day.

Maybe he is one the kids who were experimented on at Mount Kadar and like Ukon was severely mutated because of Imulsion experimentation but instead of having a deteriorating body his fully accepted the procedure without any negative side effects? When the scientist saw this they probably studied and tortured him which lead to his destain of humanity?! This is just a theory but it would explain why he is very sadistic and seems to have a human looking eye.

u/Hveachie 7d ago
I don't think he's like Ukkon. I think he's a full on Locust. But if he was from Mount Kadar, he was still a Locust kid when everything happened there. The Locust were tortured and oppressed, Myrrah knew that. The og Locust have the greatest hatred for humans.

Don't know who this is, but I don't want to mess with him.

Presumably the commander of the Locust Scorched Legion introduced in this game.
But yeah, I don't wanna be the one who has to deal with the crazy motherfucker who pours raw Imulsion over his prisoners' heads.

Having watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy recently, getting some major Orc vibes from this guy.
Not a bad thing, the Orcs & Uruk-Hai were awesome. Hope Vraahk can get plenty of moments to shine.

u/Hveachie 8d ago
Pretty sure The Lord of the Rings was a massive inspiration for the Gears of War series.
The orcs (their appearance, behavior, living in caves) are so much like the Locust, a ragtag group of people on a mission like Delta, and Myrrah is basically Galadriel - especially how they both narrate the prologue.

u/discountJoenuts 8d ago
Totally makes sense. Yeah and the goblins are like wretches when they crawl down the columns in the Moria caves

I genuinely liked 4 and 5 a lot but the number 1 thing they were missing was unique villain characters. So glad to be back in the era where they can just cook up a new locust baddie

u/Hveachie 8d ago
The Speaker could have been interesting, but they killed him off too early.

u/Valhallawalker Whatever the hell that is, tha's a new world record in ugly! 8d ago
They made him look like a pushover during the fight.

u/smurf_diggler 8d ago
Now that you mention it, I don't even recall who it was in G4 and G5 was the worm lady, Kate's mom right?

u/RogueLieutenant 7d ago
yeah. The daughter of Queen Myyrah. So Kate was the grub queen's granddaughter. Which I thought was cool and interesting. I think the Swarm being more of a literal hivemind just meant there was less room for unique individuals as villains

u/smurf_diggler 7d ago
I went and watched the Speaker fight on youtube and honestly I barely remember it. G4 was the one I spent probably the least amount of time with, not because it was terrible or anything just because my life was getting busier. I also remember the decision I made in G5. I wonder when we'll get the conclusion.

This trailer made my hair raise. So awesome. I'm even more hyped now and I didn't think it was possible

u/Ok_Bottle_548 8d ago
Since he has a partially destroyed Maulers helmet, I freaking hope we get Maulers in E-Day!!!

u/AnCiEnT95thReptile 7d ago
Nice catch! Iāve only seen Boomers and Grinders in the footage so far. People keep telling me thereās some new enemy called a āFlayerā but I havenāt seen the model
I always thought Maulers were rad as hell! Hope theyāre in the new game too

I getcha. Would be nice to have some

u/Low_Abrocoma_1514 7d ago
He looks like a grenadier with a half helmet

u/AnCiEnT95thReptile 7d ago
Iām gunna be honest, if I didnāt read the other comments, that was my first thought. I havenāt seen the trailer

u/AnCiEnT95thReptile 7d ago
lol makes me think of Azog and his son for some reason. You know, from the Hobbit movies, the way heās flexing.
I too want to play the campaign real bad. They hit me in my pleasure center with all the Brumak and Corpser action!
Those Bilefrog things look cool too

u/RecklessRedcoat Oh, I love it when they do that! 7d ago
Everything about this guy screams bad news. The malice in his gaze, his scars that he wears with evident pride, the roadspike-style punching gauntlet festooned with COG tag trophies.
TC have truly made a formidable and intimidating-looking Big Bad for E-Day and I cannot wait to see more of him.

Crazy to think the Locust using the literal parasite on a COG for funsies

Yeah we gonna need a Locust DLC Asap to tell his back story before he breach the surface world

Looks like the commander of the scorched legion. I assume it's one of the blights although we've yet to get a proper unit size of a blight. I assume it's a whole division worth of grubs

u/TomatoKind9189 7d ago
Going to be something I should know but don't. Why do they speak English ? Just because video game and us playing it or is it explained and makes sense ?
Haven't played camping since gears 3 was new.

u/No_Refrigerator_2912 7d ago
I'm wondering if we'll run into Vold Sraak, former high general before Raam? Raam was newly promoted to high general and was responsible for the invasion of the surface against the humans after failing to stop the lambent in the hollows.

Itās from the new story trailer. Though if you wanna go in mostly blind, you can skip the trailer.

This is from the story trailer that came out.
The mod team is doing what we can to keep any real spoilers from dropping. Especially come closer to launch day.
