So join me on this adventure as we make multitudes of majorly magnificent videos as we be excessively modest and have a good time! Thanks for watching and reading, give yourself a cookie.

Scorpion definitely sounds like a good explanation since we are in a desert (like I know there’s more locales but the desert is confirmed). Ice is a strange choice but maybe the stinger of the scorpion can freeze prey and that’s how it hunts? The pincers are the top of axe mode, and the stinger is the slashy bit of sword mode.
The shoulder pads on the male armor are probably it’s exoskeleton, as to why the skin/cloth has the same pattern (or what it really is) I have no idea. One more thing of note is that the inside of the cloth bits is almost a neon green and blue. Perhaps the monster will have a molting mechanic where it transforms mid fight and the cloth is actually its shed skin? A transforming creature would be a perfect match for the transforming weapon that is the switch axe.

This truly is genius marketing. Showing off the weapons one by one while not specifically stating what the armor set or weapon was based on to generate conversation around the game on a daily basis. All leading up to gamescom where we will undoubtedly get loads more hype. Applause for Capcom.

Never been so proud of a SA glow up I didnt need lol. Not only shortening discharge, but staying in axe mode for it, is amazing! Axe mode looks even more appealing than the previous 2 titles. Adding moves from Frontier, GU and Rise has me excited for combos. The cherry on top being that last move has me over the moon to once again main SA. A game I thought I'd be open to new weapons entirely, will now just be one new secondary weapon. Also this armor/weapon set is marvelous! Im thinking this is finally a new Neopteron, more than likely a beetle, considering the Japanese aesthetic and the cultural significance of beetles. They gotta show all of these new monsters come GamesCon, aint no way they dont!

4:30 wow I didn't even notice that ICE. Was high on excitement for my main weapon's new chapter for Wild. Love that idea of the elements coming back. Duel elemental swagaxe for me thanx

[draygonsol]

Reminds me of an Orchid Mantis in style

5:41 that hitbox is so good. The little sidestep in the combo made the monster miss by a inch

[KsnypsAdventures]

It looks like Mizu/somna merged with some sort of crab. Strangely aquatic if you ask me, so maybe the coral highlands are making a comeback? The hammer user’s armor has sort of a rotten and gelatinous vibe so perhaps the rotten vale is also returning

[faiththroughfire]

I’m a hammer main but have dabbled in the arts of Switchaxe… This looks insane this might be the coolest weapon trailer yet imo

[travisteatime]

"This little flip slam-down? That doesn't ring a bell."

It looks like the Heavy Slam from Iceborne, which is the finishing move to the Wild Swing combo. Pretty sure it was in Rise as well.

[Wingdroidify]

The skin kinda looks like Chatacabra, but inside out? Could be like a Gypceros Nerscylla kinda thing with this new mystery monster and Chatacabra. Ice Scorpion would also make sense since deserts get really cold at night AND Ice would probably be effective against the new Amphibian. Making a sort of food chain with the monsters in each of the new maps sounds like what the Monster Hunter team would be trying to do to make Wilds really feel alive.

Scorpion. Lools like a Scorpion claws and stinger

In case you don't know, main theme for MH Wilds is available on YT. It comes from official 20th aniversary orchestra album.

[richardoc]

I’m getting the vibe of like a praying mantis type creature from the weapon n armour

[judebox]

Axe mode definitely got a boost. This didn't show off any amped UI, but this has basically been all new stuff.
Minus the first second, that was a savage axe finisher.
We overall we didn't see a lot of sword. That tells me they didn't need to mess with it.
Some good looking stuff, it's odd though. They sped up a lot of attacks of the axe. And then said the sword is faster.
I'm eager to get my hands on it if that's that's case. Every game the swax has become faster and more input intensive.
Ohhh this is going to be fun.

[docdragon]

Seltas like monster is the most likely I feel

[kobold_sushi_executive_chef]

It looks like they combined the Compressed Discharge from Rise with the Energy Blade from GU

[quinnatoc]

The other side of the skin material looks like chatacabra back. Possibly a camouflage bug that attempts to sneak attack.

[gamerkingdom]

That’s amongst the craziest looking Switch Axe I’ve ever seen. Love it!

[Khaymen]

what im getting from most of these vids and what we already know about wilds so far, is that we're moving away from super moves like element discharge and the like as well as the more complex things like bullet and phial managment and leaning more into bread and butter combos they want us to buzzsaw till the monster is loaded with wounds and then do the big focus mechanic finishers

[roberthaines]

The rush forward flip slam was in rise and it gave super armor.
