Still holding out for a fully functional Hatchetman and Axeman, and by fully functional, I mean Hatchets baby!

[Outlaw2]

I was really expecting a heavy (like Orion) for mech 9. I was a bit surprised it was another 35 tonner. Makes me think we will have a lot more than just 12-16 mechs at launch like many are thinking.

any of those would be cool, I know they aren't all valid but hey, I can dream right?

Yeah, Vindicator is a good mech and it is not Unseen... neither is the Panther, and the Panther is a DC staple.

To be honest, I would like to actually see a 20 ton mech. To bad the Unseen had that covered in spades so we will not see the better 'classic' mechs of that range.

There will be alot of time, and there are /alot/ of mechs of various weight classes that I would like to see the light of day from the 3025 TRO alone. I really hope it doesn't really take them an entire month to do a mech and that they have a bunch already done.

I hope to see the Highlander released soon. My ride of choice since my earliest days in Mechwarrior.

That's my pick for 'Mech #10 .

<S> See ya'll soon

Model is model, its not engine dependant
Its not much but u dont have to start from scratch

but the warhammer is an Unseen mech and caused a law suit from the F-Sticks at harmony gold and delayed the game for 2 years

one thing the next mech will not be is Clan mech or an Unseen mech so if you post it there is a sign for you

[Mason West]

I really want a Black Knight, used to be one of the only mechs i piloted during MW4

They're lacking fast mechs... especially medium. All of the mediums they have now are slower than the dragon, and that's a heavy! What the hell?
So I'm hoping for an Assassin or Cicada...

We REALLY need a FAST mech. A mech that focusses it's main defense and offence as pure speed. I reccomend the Hussar as a light, Assassin or Cicada as a medium just like errorabbit said. please... I like to go FAST!!

You also have to take into consideration different 'mech variants. If each 'mech has 3 variants (which means different hardpoints,) then that's 36 different variants they have to make and ensure that they work right. 12 is a good starting number, 3 light, 3 medium, 3 heavy, 3 assault.

You're probably out of luck, soon as they named the Raven the next light 'mech that category is most likely closed to any new 'mechs. As I said earlier in the post, it's most likely following a 3 light, 3 medium, 3 heavy, 3 assault formula for launch 'mechs.

Also, the Commando, Jenner, and Raven can be modified to run even faster then what they are now (not like the Commando is a slouch in that category.)

You are probably right, but there is still hope for a REAL FAST medium like the Cicada!

[TimberJon]

God I hope we never get a mauler. Demolisher in that category instead please...

[Angelicon]

Grasshopper me!

[LordKnightFandragon]

Zeus or Mauler, let it be either one of those +D

[Ross486]

They could add the Hermes II to show some love for the FWL

They said no tanks.

[Riordan Lionheart]

I think he meant Devastator^^

I think for a heavy, the Jagermech seems like a pretty obvious choice

[Thornix]

I'd choose a Mad Cat Mk II if I could.

JagerMech and Blackjack were insanely popular in MPBT: Solaris as they had nearly immediate reload times for the AC/2s - fading on a lance level was a very valid tactic back then, but I feel that the Catapult already fills the niche of a heavy support platform, and we need more of a brawler type of 'Mech. The only thing that really fits that billet that isn't unseen is the Orion.
