Since the first Mechwarrior video game was released, we've been inundated with certain 'mech designs that have become staples of the Battletech universe. The Atlas, Awesome, Catapult, Mad Cat, Vulture, and Thor are all fan-favorites because of their presence and focus in the Mechwarrior games and their role in many of the old Battletech and Mechwarrior novels that we enjoyed when we were younger (and still enjoy today). While I am extremely pleased to see lesser-known (or less loved) classic Battletech designs revived for this truly awesome online game, such as the Hunchback, Cicada, Jenner, and Stalker; I think it's important in the future to give light to some of the even lesser-known, recently-introduced designs. As hard as it is to appease everyone's wishes, because everyone surely has their one favorite mech and tastes vary from person to person; I think some effort should be made to eventually introduce people to 'mechs that are new to the canon, but still fit within the timeline. The Ymir, Helepolis, Koschei, Rampage, or even the venerable Mackie are all designs that are physically unique, slightly unusual in their role and abilities, and represent hallmarks in factional warfare (i.e., the Ymir was the Lyran Commonwealth's first 'mech design) that could be used for future updates.
