We're coming to the limits of what the 3050TRO has.

Firemoth (Dasher)
Mist Lynx (Koshi) -- Wave 2
Kit Fox (Uller) -- Wave 1
Adder (Puma) -- Wave 1
Viper (Dragonfly)
Ice Ferret (Fenris) -- Wave 2
Nova (Black Hawk) -- Wave 1
Stormcrow (Ryoken) -- Wave 1
Mad Dog (Vulture) -- Wave 2 -- BONUS
Hellbringer (Loki) -- Wave 2
Summoner (Thor) -- Wave 1
Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) -- Wave 1
Gargoyle (Man O' War) -- Wave 2
Warhawk (Masakari) -- Wave 1
Executioner (Gladiator)
Dire Wolf (Daishi) -- Wave 1

That leaves 3 omnimechs of the original lineup (unless they figure out how to add in Elementals and if the do *squeeee yay!*). Other than that, I'd like to see some of the IIC variants.

There just isn't too many mechs past 3050 that I like (there there are some out there). Most are just too organic looking for my taste.

most, certainly could in no way, be omni-modular, anyhow.

IMO they need to revisit every omnimech post 3050 (and the original batch of IS Omnis) and redesign them following the design specifics of the original 3050 Omnis.

Yep, they upped the armor on the Hellbringer Prime instead of installing the A-Pods.

Everybody saw at this point, but here:

Something intriguing: the Hellbringer Prime doesn't have AP-pods or 2 DHS as replacements (as predicted). Will it come with 2 free tons?

Already got mine.
Well, paid at any rate... still waiting for confirmation from PGI rather than just Paypal...

Loving the look of all of it.
Especially the Clan Ghost Bear skin and Colours.

Bring on bundled together whatever IS mechs* PGI has in the pipeline!

or... release early the Clanbuster Pack.
(Hussar, Wyvern, Black Knight)

*if I could choose:
Light: UrbanMech!
Medium: Clint, or Sentinel, or Vulcan, or Assassin... still so many medium options
Heavy: Lancelot
Assault: Zeus, or Charger, or Hatamoto, or Mauler (I wish!)

Yes, they will probably fix that when working on the model (like they did with the Stalker).
