Please vote on some other Mechs that should make an appearance on the game.

Fafnir
Flashman
Hollander
Uziel
Mauler
Cyclops
Executioner
Shadow Cat
Cyclops
Raven
Vulture/Mad Dog
Highlander
Shootist
Mad Cat/Timber Wolf
Summoner
Blood Asp
Panther
Vindicator
Stalker
Black Knight
Grasshopper
Assassin
Archer
Bushwacker
(you should know the Urbanmech.)

Please tell me if there is a broken/invalid link. And yes, I thought about what value each Mech has before adding it.

UPDATE 8-4-12: Added Urbanmech to poll.
UPDATE 10-4-12: Added Panther and Vindicator. Added IICs as an option on their parent mech's option. 19/60 Mechs filled.
UPDATE 13-4-12: Added Stalker, Black Knight, Grasshopper, Assassin, Archer, and Bushwacker. 25/60 Mechs filled

Fixed your Vindicator link display

[Dirk Le Daring]

I voted for all of them.

I'll be happy with what we get, and I look at it like this, you cannot pick your tank when you join the Armoured Corps

Marauder and Raven. Maybe even Highlander (and others, not so favorite mechs of mine), but the rest is hi-tech, or Clan stuff firing instakill projectiles over half the actuall planet.

Old mechs are definitely more fun to play and (except for Marauder) have a higher chance of implementation.

After a bit of time, maybe even some Clan mechs won't hurt, though.

For simplicity's sake here's what I DIDN'T vote for - Hollander, Uziel, Fafnir, and Blood Asp. I excluded these because they're the only options that are not introduced within the next year or so; the Hollander is the one of these that will appear soonest, and we still have to wait ~5 years canon-wise. I suppose if the game goes on that long (or the devs do some time skips at some point), I can go for having it in; however, we should still have to wait quite a while.

[StaggerCheck]

I voted for Inner Sphere Mechs, as I suspect all the Clan Omni Mechs will make it in.

Getting my vote...

Marauder
Cyclops
Highlander
Shootist

True, but if they do canon time, we will be waiting quite a while for certain Mechs...

[Dragorath]

I voted for all but two. I absolutely dislike the Shootist. It's ugly and a waste of credits. The Urbanmech as well. It's like shooting on R2D2. Who would do that? Beside... it's ugly and it would make my eyes bleed, so kinda imba ;-)

[DavidHurricane]

I wonder why no one is open to the Uzeil... it is a cheap, good to use Mech, that can pack a great punch, and play a role in hit & runs...

Because it isn't due to be released for ~15 years

Dude, I REALLY doubt they won't do time jumps. Otherwise we will have to wait maybe 20 years for some! But, on the bright side, the Executioner (one of my favs) was made in 3001!!!!!

[Anvil Dragon]

I wold like to add the Panther to this list.

[Archtus]

You misspelled Uziel as Uzeil, and thereby have a broken link.

I voted Raven. All other mechs would not be used by me.

[Youngblood]

Voted for all the Inner Sphere 'Mechs except for the Fafnir and Uziel. They can stay in MechWarrior 4 for now.

[Torment2]

Mechs that really need some consideration are heavies like the Tempest and the Falconer (more the former than the latter, imo). Truly beastly mechs these two are. I also have a Wraith mini sitting on my monitor.....love that thing.

[Stormwolf]

Nice, let's start a drinking game, everybody who voted for the Uziel, Hollander, Fafnir or Bloodasp should take a shot because all those mechs are still 5+ to 15+ years away.
The Shadow Cat will show up in 3052 at the battle of Luthien, production however was started in 3003. Anyway, take a shot.

You have to take a shot for each of those mechs.

The vindicator as usual is forgotten and left to watch from the sidelines.

I have added it. Cool choice, BTW

Not anymore, added . But the like was broke, so I had to put it to the side

Thank you for the info, and I can understand your point of view.

[Michael Rosario]

Personally, I voted for all of them. Personally, I wish that they had the time, energy, money, and goodwill to strip the entire list of mechs off of sarna, and include them into this game.

That being said, I don't expect to even get all of the era-appropriate mech's on this list within the first year or two of gameplay, much less ones that according to what we're being told right now, we're going to have to wait ~13 years for. (Though I do want me a Fafnir)

[Kiff Stevenson]

Thank you for adding the Vindicator. It's always been my personal fav!

This, although I didn't vote for any of the Clan mechs either. Those we have plenty of time to worry about later, well after launch.

I still hold out hope that people will realize the date in which the game is set, but it dies a little every day. I'm sure after the game launches we'll see posts saying "Where's my Uziel!?!? NO RAGNAROK!? WHY NAO MAD CAT MK II!!!!?"
