I'm trying to not get my hopes up with any Unseen/Reseen. I just file it away in my mind as "Won't happen".

[Iron Harlequin]

I would like to imagine that if the clans are ever introduced, they're all permanently painted with My little pony and bright pastel colors. and giant bullseyes on the cockpits.


But anywho what do we have so far?

2 Assault: Atlas 100 Tons, Awesome 80 Tons

2 Heavy: Dragon 60 Tons, Catapult 65 Tons

2 Medium: Centurion 50 Tons, Hunchback 50 Tons

3 Light: Raven 35 Tons, Commando 25 Tons, Jenner 35 Tons


I cant remember the order they came out.

[Skoll]

I think we're due for another Heavy, then the third Assault.

[SilentWolff]

Marauder, T-Bolt, Panther, Orion, Banshee-S, Griffin for starters please!

[Suskis]

It's time for a heavy mech. Of course Marauder is the only viable choice.
A Note:

this is the original design Harmony Gold doesn't want us to see.



and this was Loose's reinterpretation (to me, it was already enough different to avoid copyright issues):



as much as I love the above version, I admit the reseen Marauder is not bad at all:



so, hands down, the above mech is what we should and MUST get this month!

[Ethan Kell]

I don't see the Marauder as "the only viable choice." There are a number of great selections they could make that aren't the Marauder.

[Suskis]

but the best is still Marauder!

[Zelekin]

I don't know how viable it would be for it to appear, but i've always been a fan of the Stalker. If we're do for another assault it would make my day if it were to be included.

[Ethan Kell]

It is pretty awesome, yeah. I could flip a coin between it and the Warhammer; although I'd be more likely go to with a Warhammer.

[Zelekin]

I could very easily see the Warhammer. Very iconic Mech after all, and good to boot.

[Christopher Dayson]

I'd actually prefer to see either a 45 ton medium or a 55 ton medium, I dislike how both our mediums are 50 tonners with no weight spread. That said, a 75 ton heavy would be nice as well since we have a 60 and a 65, the Marauder (Reseen) would clearly fit there and would be quite nice, an Orion would also fit there, Black Knight, Flashman, and the War Dog (Possibly though not sure exactly when Snord's rediscovered it).

At 70 tons we get the Warhammer, the Guillotine, the Grasshopper, the cataphract, and possibly the Caesar.

Lots of options but, still rooting for a third medium, a /faster/ medium, or I'm going to have to customize the heck out of a centurion.

[UrLeftKnut]

Hey, don't forget the Blackhawk, Supernova, Sunder, and Thor for iconic mechs, those guys were MEAN and I'd love to see them make a comeback

[Christopher Dayson]

Many of those are Clan (All? Can't remember if the Sunder is clan or not). Given that the clans aren't around yet... our chances of seeing them are slim to none.

I would beat an old lady with a stick for an original Marauder.

Xaks Battletech aka Mechwarrior can no longer leagly use any Battlemechs that look anything like the Macross/Robotech Combat Mecha.

Like the unseen Battletech Archer, Destroid Spartan. Rifleman, Raider X. Longbow, Phalanx. and the Warhammer, Tomahawk.
Dont get me wrong, I love the old unseen Marauder, but in fact its a Zentraedi Officer's Battlepod.

Useing a close looking Destroid Tomahawk, Warhammer almost killed the new Mechwarrior.

Sorry to say if you want to use a Marauder it is going to need to look like this http://flic.kr/p/bTRZS4
and this might be the new Archer and Warhammer. http://flic.kr/p/bEXgAh http://flic.kr/p/bEXgz9

[Iron Harlequin]

Those are all clan mechs aside from the Sunder, its a 90 ton Draconis Combine mech, however its used off of scrapped Thors/Lokis. So it didn't exist until after the clans appeared.

In regards to the "visually similar" designs, I'm sure the devs know what they're doing, and 90% of the people here should know what occured with the lawsuit back in the day with Battletech.

But as we've already seen in the Trailer of Mechwarrior Online the warhammer has already been designed.

[Christopher Dayson]

Cuz Warhammers miraculously disappeared in those 34 years...

It was the great Warhammer Extinction event!
