Jenner. It's cute, sexy, round, and a great "ball of hate". What more could you ask for?

Here's a image you won't be able to get out of you head in like forever. Mini Painting contest at a local Con, Someone turned in a Jenner... Denim blue, White feet, Flesh tone Cockpit... :P ;)

The sexiest mech was the concept of the King Crab. The Griffin is a damn fine lookin' ride, though.

There isn't a mech in this game sexier than the GRF-1N.

Except MAYBE the GRF-3M...

No, sir. You can't go wrong nominating the Griffin as the sexiest mech in Mechwarrior Online.

Great point about the Dragon. I always wished I had this on the front of that huge hood as I was playing "linebacker"

To me it looks like it cant take a hit, it looks too fragile.
BUT It looks simply fantastic when it is running at full speed, like a beatiful Gazelle, very graceful.

the trick is to avoid getting hit full on. It's like a martial artist or a welterweight Boxer. Tougher than it looks, but built to avoid damage more than absorb it.

Ghetto Panther anyone?

Griffin is probably the best looking mech in the game, but for whatever reason I cannot seem to do as well in it as I do with my Shadow Hawk.

Sexiest mech? Hmm, tough one...

Well i only like chicken-walkers so that cuts out quite a few mechs. I think it comes down to two mechs for me.

Catapult-K2 (Pre-barrel nerf).
A great looking mech that definitely has the best walking animation...like it is stalking prey. Before the PPC barrels were shrunk it also looked like it meant business :P

Raven-3L.
To me this mech is like the Apache Longbow. It looks weird but in a kind of good way...and it's full of tech ;)
The only thing that spoils the Raven is actually piloting one. From the inside it's like a hovercraft, yet from the outside it bounces up and down like a psycho pigeon :D

But if the Stone Rhino was in game there would only be one right answer :)

I like the really humanoid mechs the most. Shawks, Commandos, Firestarters... None of the heavies or assaults tho, too bulky for my tastes.

My vote goes to the spider. I love it's athletic lines that make it look like its going 100 even at rest and it's bulging jumpjet housings and pop out wings. Toss in the simple but highly functional cockpit with excellent visibility and its a no brainer.

my guess? No ballistic. Ballistic ands their low heat allow my 2D2 to outperform my 3M in the same basic role. Not by a huge margin, but the heat control capabilities of the UAC over my ER PPC makes a pretty big impact. Instead of moving right in now, I tend to hold back and harass with the ER PPC as long as viable, then move into SSRM range.

It's also why I love the frankenmech meanness of the Cataphract.

How big and round that cockpit is.

Can I get weapons on the other side of the mech.

No it is really a classic machine, and I encourage everyone to buy it now that it is c-bill based.

I am a strong supporter of the phoenix package and the phoenix mechs. I think it was one of the greatest editions of the game.

I encourage all players to give these mechs a home in dropships around the world.

yes. 3M and 1S are both balanced. 1N is stacked to the one side, which has it's pros and cons, but for infighting I prefer the 3M because losing my arm doesn't totally neuter me. Considering seeing how my 1S runs as a Zombie,.
