The following are mechs which I believe would be interesting additions to MWO. Each has been carefully selected for various reasons, including when they were produced so that they fit the lore of the time-period which MWO currently resides (3052).

Note: Among the reasons for why these mechs, and not others, where selected was whether a model has become extinct through lack of interest, cannibalization, or become lostech.

Yes to all. Give them some time.

[TheArisen]

An interesting list.

I do support the Piranha but my #1 choice for a light is the Javelin, it's from tro 3025 & has tons of variants that pack missiles &/or lasers, also has an ecm variant

Medium: Assassin, fast missile boat with ecm.

Heavy: Anvil, Bandersnatch, Penetrator or Falconer

Assault: Nightstar, beasty hard points, JJ & a variant that can mount a 400 + it's beautiful. ComStar has a few & as Russ said, technology is more important.

I didn't see the Anvil while researching for mechs to include in this list. However, if I had, it still would not have made the list due to the fact that it is marked as being produced in 3055. Likewise, the Penetrator and Falconer were not included because they were both produced in 3053.
As for the Bandersnatch, Assassin, Javelin and Nightstar... I honestly missed those four otherwise they'd be up there right now.

[a gaijin]

Let's have all Mechs from MW2, Ghost Bear's Legacy, and MW2 Mercenaries added. Quite a few of those I'd like to pilot, and a few I'd pay MC for (Hatamoto-Chi, for example).

After a two year cash boycott I relented and paid cash for a mech just last week but if sh1t from the crap abomination known as Mechwarrior 4 is added I'd feel compelled to close the wallet again.

I'd be unhappy if that happened.

Well the Bwhacker is coming & that's a 3053 mech so there's that. As for the Anvil, yeah it's 3055 but it doesn't mount any new tech so it'd be fine.

BTW, grats on getting the Snova.

[Serpentbane]

Mad Dog MK2, isn't that only a made up model from one of the earlier games? MW4 or something. A design I did not like all to well if I remember right.

New Mad Dog Mk3 or 4 would be the next Mad Dogs

The Mad Dog Mk II originates in MW4, correct. However, it was confirmed as cannon by the developers in 2013 and was described as being "functionally identical to the original; it merely differs cosmetically". (See link provided in the list) Also, the Mad Dog Mk III is marked as being produced in 3109, which is 57 years from the current time period MWO inhabits. It stems to reason that the Mad Dog Mk II would have been produced somewhere between the present time up to the production of the Mk III.

Well, this list is including of Mechs only up to 3052. As for the BWacker, that's supposed to released January 14th of next year. Idk, if PGI will move the year up to 3053 or not, I just figured on compiling a list of mechs which should exist at this point for general consideration. Possibly making a full pack(s) out of it, like the Clan wave packs. However, seeing as I missed those few you mentioned I'm considering redoing this list, excluding the SNova, and researching to some more mechs. Thoughts?

The poll will need to be reset/remade for this thread. For a full list of mechs available at 3050:
http://mwomercs.com/...-mechs-of-3050/

Russ said tech is more important so I'd venture so far as to suggest mechs from up to 3057 or at least close to 3053 because the Bush clearly shows tech is more important as long as it's close-ish & doesn't use new tech even though that can be replaced with similar weight equipment.

Wheres that Mad Cat Mk.II guy?

The Mad Cat MK II isn't supposed to be produced till 3066. This list covers mechs which should be available up to the present time-period MWO inhabits (3052). I'm with you on the addition of the MC MK II. However, if the timeline permitted I would much have liked to include the: Owens, Sunder, Uziel, Nova Cat, Avatar, Cougar, Fafnir and Thanatos as well.
