So on August 1st a new Assault Mech will be introduced. Which do you think will it be?
I am curious to see which one you think it will be. Pick 3 Mechs you think could make it.

My 3 guesses are :

1.Banshee
2.Annihilator
3.Devastator

Ok for the Devastator i rather hope it then really believe it

The only acceptable answer is

KING CRAB

[EyeOne]

Based on the Ask the Devs 11 I'm thinking it might be the Thug. But that wasn't the only time a mech was asked about on twitter.

I think Mauler, Annihilator and Hatamoto Chi are all reasonable guesses also.

[Bishop Steiner]

maybe.....

GOL-1H GOLIATH!


or....

ANH-1A Annihilator!


or.......

HTD-11k HATAMOTO-CHI!


or BNC-5S BANSHEE!


or maybe the ever popular
MAL-1R MAULER...


My heart wants the Annihilator, or as a close second, the Banshee

My head says it'll be a Zeus, or maybe a Victor.

[Spazyak]

I wonder if they'll include some of the original mechs or (at least) a simpler, 'more common', no-clan variation. I really liked the first two mechs that you play early on in MechAssault- the beginning (recon) mech and the second (medium) mech.

I like you.

[Lunareclipse]

Mauler or Zeus sound likely to me.

I'd take a King Crab too...... I love mechs I can pick apart before it ever gets close enough to use it's big guns. =) Awesome vs KC means smiling Awesome pilot!

[Epoksi]

Hoping for a Victor, my favourite mech of all time

Assaults still don't have a JJ capable chassis. So, I wouldn't count the Highlander out yet...despite its rarity and even if they don't give it the Gauss in its initial configuration.

Gameplay > Cannon (go ahead and tar and feather me if you want...but if you want the game to be successful, you may regret it later).

The other options are pretty much:
1) A C&C mech for the commander tree: Cyclops (please God no...it's so ugly and useless).
2) The mini-skull face: Banshee (Anything you can do, Atlas does better...plut the Banshee's alpha stike is also woefully inadequate when compared with mechs 15 tons lighter. Yeah you move fast for an assault...but you can't do anything when you get there.)

I'm not going to waltz up to an Awesome from 2 clicks away down an open highway -.-

[Outlaw]

Yeah anyone who thinks the Banshee is woefully under gunned hasn't seen the brute force of the Banshe BNC-5S which just so happens to be introduced within the time frame of MWO.

[Nathan Gunne]

I think it will be the ever popular most fearsome Mech of them all.
The Mackie


Or maybe it will be something useful.

[schalkp]

KING CRAB

100%

[gh0st]

BNC-3S is my fave oldtech assault, the twin PPC, AC10 combo just so good for med range

[Spectre 117]

Banshee or Charger! Who doesn't like the fast, jumpy, armored weaker than a Wasp with less guns Assault mech!

[Skyefox]

Banshee
Victor
Zeus
Cyclops
I feel they need to add House specific assaults, and since Davion and Steiner don't have one yet, it's what I'm leaning towards.

EDIT: I don't understand why there's so many who think the Devastator will make an appearance.
