Character Preview, new stance?

So I usually preview my character as I swap between loadouts mostly because it easily lets me see what weapons I need to swap when heating things within loadouts.

However, as of recently, I noticed a stance that I normally hadn't seen before:

The old sword-over-shoulder stance you see with other sword wielder characters in other media, but in Spiral Knights I usually see them in their action-ready pose with swords or with a gun-facing-up pose. Is this actually new, or just something I never had the right weapon combo to see?

It seems like The player is

It seems like The player is in "Gun-holding" stance, but the preview bugged in a sword instead.
I'd like to have a new preview stance though.

Oh wait, hah you're right. I

Oh wait, hah you're right. I didn't think about that since I usually see the gun pointed away from the character. Of course, if replacing a sword with a gun, the positioning would be over the shoulder instead.

So I wonder how the stances got switched over. Though personally, I prefer this one too...

If that's the new standing

If that's the new standing pose I am alright with this.

This randomly happened to me

This randomly happened to me while switching my loadouts around too, except with Voltaic Tempest.

Hm..

Well I have recently seen my knight holding his polaris in the sword stance, where your arms are to your lower sides. Haven't seen him hold a sword in the gun stance yet though. I also lol'ed at the tempest stance Katmint showed.

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't scratch your head with a VT. Won't help the itch at all.
