I'm calling a couple of shadow hawks (kind of like dragon hero mechs or shadow hawk + locust in honor of Grayson Carlyle and Lori Kalmar...

Any other good bet for the upcoming heroes out there (my lore fu it's rusty!! )

New Hero 'Mech's – Our next Hero mechs release will be a pair of mechs representing a famous husband and wife in two iconic old school mechs.

They said 2 Iconic old school mech, thus, 2 different mech.
I think it will be phoenix mech still.

Shadow hawk + Locust seems to be safest bet then right now.

I hope the Shad hero is good.

My own personal favorite config would be 3 energy + 3 ballistics, all in the torsos. It would be the best fire-support/skirmisher of the Shads, but it would be less effective at brawling due to not being able to use SRMs.

[EvilCow]

I would like to see a mostly-energy Shadow Hawk. A new Locust is hard to imagine, there are already so many of them.

[Mcgral18]

Only issue with that is both Lori's Lolcust and Grayson's SHD are stock.

1V and 2H. I guess they could much around with them, and just use the fluff.

Umm Fup, the 2K already has those.... It's in the game lol.

Edit: fail, I read 3 Energy + 3 Missiles, not ballistics lol. I should probably go to bed now.

we still need 12 machinegun lolcust, almost piranha but not quite

Salome Ward, wife of Morgan Kell, spent almost her entire career in a Wolverine. So if Ole Phantom ever used anything besides his Archer: like say a Shadowhawk, T-bolt, Wolverine (RE Fang and Flame) or Locust (shudders) then that, to me, seems a stronger possibility.

[Macksheen]

As many as there are SHDs ....

I'd be happy with 8.

8 is nice.

Hanse Davion's Battlemaster, and a huge surprise for Melissa:

Introducing Infantry combat! You get an AI platoon of soldiers that follow you around. Melissa's platoon is special in that it gets access to man-pack PPCs and jump packs, where normal Heavy Infantry platoons only get access to man-pack Small Lasers, Machine Guns, and SRMs, and normally only Jump Infantry platoons get access to jump packs (eventually Power Armor platoons can mount JJs).

Yep 12 would give lolcust serious tonnage issues, it's doable with max engine but no ammo :'(

Ammo is pretty important with MGs.

This is what I've found through a bit of Sarna-digging as well. I'm hoping for the aforementioned Shadowhawk + (something) combo though. Unless we really get an archer

[Macksheen]

Unless PGI is releasing the Unseen somehow, we won't get an Archer

[Desolator]

LCT-1Vb seems like possible fit for a hero mech from that line, comes stock with all the upgrades. XL eng, Ferro, Endo, and Dbl Heatsinks. Along with 2 small lasers, 2 Med Pulse Lasers, and a Medium laser.


SHD-5S would be a nice addition for a hero mech as well. Larger Laser, med pulse laser, and 4 medium lasers, with a TAG, BAP, and ECM.

This was my first thought. I can dream, right?

Stop spreading your lies! You don't need ammo when you have 12 MGs ona Locust! The fear alone, is enough!

[MechPorn]

Wouldn't it be awesome, if both 'Mechs were from the resistance pack!!!
