That is a really hard question to answer. I would really like to see a [color=#343638]quadruped. So I designed one... [/color]http://www.thingiver...om/thing:847480 Hey, that was done in TinkerCAD so I know it sucks and it was my 2nd go at designing a mech. My first was the http://www.thingiver...om/thing:846472 Battle Cobra. My next will be the Sunder http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Sunder because I think based on how many variants it has it could stand a great chance to be included into the game. It also has a great story that falls into the current timeline. Captured tech researched and incorporated into its design. I STILL WANT MY FLEA!!! I saw the adds for the Flea way, way back and we ended up with the Locust?
Some more mechs that could make the list?
Clint
Kingfisher
Wasp
Turkina (Looks silly, but packs a punch)
Stinger
Archer
Kodiak
Woodsman
Phantom
Super Nova
Anubis (another one I think I will design)
Thanatos

[Celtic Warrior]

and the Grizzly

[Narcissistic Martyr]

Marauder not that I'll get to see it. Although if I ever become a billionare I'm buying harmony gold and allowing all battletech games to use the IP.

[Juodas Varnas]

Vulcan.
We need another 40 tonner and there isn't one that i'd want more than the Vulcan.

It has unique aesthetics; It looks nothing like any other mech
It has enough variants, included one with Star League tech (VT-5M)
It also comes with jumpjets

[TheArisen]

These are the mechs everyone would want next for the IS.

TimberWolf - Bounty Hunter:
A variant used by the infamous Bounty Hunter, it mounted a Large Pulse Laser and a Medium Pulse Laser in each arm. It also had a Medium Pulse Laser in both the left and right torso with a clan Light TAG in the center torso. A Light Active Probe, ECM suite, and a Targeting Computer provided stealth and increased accuracy. It's painted all green with credit symbols.

Dire Wolf - Widowmaker
The preferred configuration of the Black Widow Natasha Kerensky, the Widowmaker can do a great deal of damage at any range. For long range combat, an ER PPC backed up by a Large Pulse Laser mounted in each arm. For close combat, the Widowmaker carries three ER Medium Lasers, an ER Small Laser, and an Ultra Autocannon/20.

I like the details shoulders and the spot where the legs attach.
I could rebuild that detail from the Sunder or the Battle Cobra over
Would love to find a stock library on TinkerCAD of the weapons?
Not bothering with those at this point.
Thanks for the input.

I would like to see Flashman.
Following the recovery of the Helm Memory Core Defiance Industries was able to restart production of original-model Flashman 'Mechs in the 3050s and built new variants for ComStar.

Mass 75 tons
Engine GM 375 XL
Speed 86.4 km/h

• 3x Large Lasers
  
• 5x Medium Lasers
  
• 1x Flamer
  
• 1x Anti-Missile System

I looked at this one and passed on it due to lack of variants? I do like the look.
There are a ton of mechs I would love to see in game or own.
So far it looks like we will not see anything without at least 4-5 variants?
How hard would it be for the average Joe to write up a story with odd mechs and push it out there?
Becoming part of canon is the issue?

Yep. Why I am not wasting time on this one.
Just wondering if we have enough player base in MWO and Battletech board games to leverage a buyout?
Create some sort of Battletech community owned project?
Owning things just to own them does not make any sense to me.
If you allow them to be used for a "reasonable" fee?
If the community owned it all then we could do a lot of cool stuff.

Alex said in the Dev Blog 11 that he wants to work on the Bushwacker. I hope he does, but first, I'm calling for a 40t `Mech. Vulcan, Assassin; makes no difference to me. Just as long as we have another 40 in the group. Also another 45t would be nice as well.

I like the look of the legs. Do not like the arms. Head and Torso just like an Uber Urbie?
Kinda cool mech.
Hey with the "quirks" system we could tweak for massive energy based platform.
This is great "Zippo Mark X Anti-Personnel Flamer"
Look Ma I got me a Zippo

I think you nailed an IS package.
If the Assassin was not so ugly. Small redo to make it a little bit more pleasing to the eye?
Pillager and Perpetrator both look cool and seem to be armed up well.
Javelin kind of an odd short torso, still like it.

Ok. Settled. If a Dev is wishing to work on this one. I will puke out mine this weekend.
Dragon and Timber Wolf mate? End up with a Bushwacker?

I think Harmony Gold originally wanted to extract licensing fees but FASA basically said lol no after they lost their court case and just removed all the unseen. MWO could use the reseen models or create their own that "resembles but is legally distinct" from the macross models. However, HG is known for suing anyone who makes a mech that looks vaguely like something from macross so I highly doubt that anything that will be distinct enough for HG will satisfy the player base.

As for buying out the property... we'd be talking millions since they have distribution rights in perpetuity not to mention the IP troll money they stand to make. Since the battletech player base isn't exactly large I doubt we could come up with that kind of scratch.
