From the front page of Spiral Knights to the image you see everytime you login this weekend. "Power Surge Weekend"
http://media.spiralknights.com/images/blogimages/v0/id/21.jpeg

the knight directly to the right in the picture is wearing an unreleased item which may or may not be the re-release of the magikat hat.
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Magikat_Hat

some rumors have been floating around about a new teir 3 boss, but nothing has been officially stated as of yet.

another variation was caught being worn by a spiral knight moderator, Clotho

what concerns me is that these two older versions of the "kat hat" both have their eyes closed while this newer version shown in the preview has its eyes open.
could it be a completely different hat? maybe the missing 4th star? or perhaps they just decided to change the art style after of year of discontinuation.

Please, Share your thoughts.

A lot of these images were first generated during the preview, which is when the Magikat Hat could actually be found.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Bob is right.

Re: [notbob] Refering to the latest

I'm using the older two as reference.
However this latest one which you see every day when you login to spiral knights or visit their main website.
http://www.spiralknights.com/
It is the Cat Hat. I would rather say, read deeper.

Bob, are you trying to say you've seen this same image reused in previous game announcements?

Just a tidbit of info, I'm

Just a tidbit of info, I'm pretty sure that there's both the Magikat CAP and the Magikat HOOD as seperate items, to address your point over the eyes being open or closed.
Personally I also say not to look into it much.
(And the image was used in the last Power Surge was it not? Proof of a trend of image reuse?)

its quite possible that they

its quite possible that they are different items, but my problem with the image reuse logic is that both power surges were after the magikat hat was discontinued (2010?)

Or maybe the magikat hat will

Or maybe the magikat hat will split off into a purring line (with white / pleasant aesthetics) and the "eyes open" line (with purple / evil appearance).

But yeah, given the age and scattershot nature of the images it's anyone's guess, as any of this could have been altered or scrapped.

The hat was in the beta, but there is some new helm coming out >_>
Someone started a fourm somewhere that used to have a picture of it, but a GM or something like that (i think it was euidice that took it down? spelled wrong...) took it down becuase that person haxed or something. Supposedly looked like a mushroom.

Yes.

Bob, are you trying to say you've seen this same image reused in previous game announcements?

Yes, that image has been used before. Power Surge events happened during the preview as well.

And, actually, you're not even the first person to question the use of that image. Check out this thread from last month's Power Surge:

They're two different Kat Hats, the Feral Kat Hood and Purring Cap.

They should put one up with an expiration date of one month just to see how many crowns someone would dump for the right to wear it.

This hat

This hat http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/9996/skgmpc.png is actually the old model for wolver.
The magikat hat (black one) dropped from some chests during preview.
The ones with stitches are unreleased/devonly, or used to be around during previous previews and were never reintrocuded (like jaws of megalodon and other many items). The stitched purple one matches chaos cloak nicely, I think they were supposed to be a set.
