yeah i must knwo teh Turkina is SLOOOWW!

[KursedVixen]

We could really use the Nova cat despite it's timeline entry.. besides PGI said their not following lore so timeline doesn't matter and we already had the battle of tuk so Nova cats are in they should have been in.

[MasterW3]

one of each, light medium heavy and assault.

They announced in the town hall broadcast friday there will be no new "packages" of mechs, Clan or otherwise. It takes them too much time/resources at this stage to have four mechs rendered and coded in 3 variants ready to release at the same time. All new mech releases will be one at a time, each month as they've done with the inner sphere classics lately, and are doing with the Kodiak. However they've announced the next Clan mech will be the 40 ton Viper (aka Dragonfly).

Guys please what about the first omnimech ever? of course im talking about the Coyotl ;-; why is it not on the list already its fast and has pretty nice podspace and looks good. overall not bad for a 40t medium http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Coyotl although the Viper pretty much does almost the same thing.

PGI didn't care all that much for this one.
No Wave 4 either, so...

[Ch_R0me]

All right, here is my package:

• Night Gyr
  
• Linebacker
  
• Turkina
  
• Kingfisher

That is all.

[r0b0tc0rpse]

Stone Rhino 100 ton.

[davoodoo]

Just release them 1 by 1...

[Intenebrus]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh they are all so coooooooool.

• A pouncer though would be kind of strange since it's just an Adder with jump jets really.
  
• The crossbow is a super cool design but it uses alot of weapons not available in the game like Torpedoes, Arrow IV, AP Gauss, Mortars and ATM. Still there's enough variants usable to be masterable so I could see it happening.
  
• The Fire Falcon would be like a super squishy, high firepower Stormcrow's little brother but I'm fairly certain it's the Fire Moth that everyone wants. It'd easily take the cake as the fastest mech in MWO, outrunning the Spider-5V and any locust or Commando. That would be soooohohohoho much fun to play and finally add a second 20 ton mech.
  
• As far as medium mechs go I was hoping for the battle cobra but nobody else seems to like it like I do. The stooping Hawk would just be a slightly larger Nova really.
  
• I don't see the Huntsman happening because it uses pods on it's legs, it'd be the first mech with leg weapon mounts and I feel if MWO was going to have leg weapons, we'd have the wasp by now.
  
• The black lanner is a hilarious giant fat chicken of a mech, I would love to see people running around in those.
  
• The phantom... is kind of like a shadowhawk, with a bunch of little weapons and a main weapon. It looks and plays like an Ice Ferret, except it'll have ECM.
  
• The Linebacker looks like a giant Nova and plays like a Giant Stormcrow, I'm all for it. A bigger, Faster dragon, more or less.
  
• On one hand the Turkina is basically a huge Ebon Jaguar, 95 tons of missiles and pain, but the clans already have a chicken-walking assault mech with blistering amounts of firepower and low speed and it's one of the most overplayed mechs in MWO. I suppose giving people another option would be nice, but it didn't really make anyone want to play the highlander over the atlas, I don't see it working for the dire wolf either.
  
• The kingfisher will give the clans a more original mech that doesn't really have a comparison in MWO yet, which is always a good deal. It's like a 90 ton shadowhawk- on the faster end of it's weight class with a weapon for every occasion.
  
• The Grendel is another more original clan design, it'd be cool to have around. Fast, tons of weapons, what's not to like?

Personally I'm voting for the Fire Moth, Battle Cobra, Linebacker and Kingfisher. I know the Battle Cobra won't happen, but maybe someday people will learn that it's not bad just because it has only arm weapons... I mean, people like the crab don't they? ;~;

The Crab has a headmount on all variants. Plus, there is already a mech that has nothing but arm mounts, and its one of the least played mechs in the game.

better not say kit fox.

My Jade Falcon Heart took over:

Light: Fire Falcon
Medium: Black Lanner
Heavy: Night Gyr
Assault: honestly don't care, but picked the Kingfisher as the Turkina is just drop dead ugly looking (imho).

Just for fluff I would pick a signature Mech from each of the main Invading Clans for a Wave pack. But I prefer the road they are going now with the single Packs, dropping this overpriced "a la carte" crap all together.

Ok, three things. Number 1, The Vindicator also has headmounts. Number 2, Someone should really make a version of this thread for Clan Battlemechs. Number 3, the Viper and the Night Gyr can be removed from the list.

[Windscape]

the vindi has one headmount, and the best you can do with that is a medium pulse, which even that wont do ya any good when your arms are hacked off.

[Strattus]

I just remember the Turkina from the MechCommander Gold Expansion.... Would make the Crab look thin!!!!

Also, need a speedy mech....Firemoth with MASC FTW!
