OK, submissions have been open for a few days. Here are some of the notables. Vote for which one you think we should all pilot for giggles and (eventually) post our "best of ten" result! These don't represent ALL of the builds in the original request for submissions, but I think they encapsulate the highlights. If this turns out to be fun, we'll do it again! Thanks to all who submitted builds!

Pulsejack, haha nice name.

Might be a little better after the buff now too!

[AntiCitizenJuan]

May want to put the mechs in your post so they can click the links.

I'm voting for Victor's because that thing is an awful POS

[General Taskeen]

I thoroughly enjoyed the humor of all these builds. All of them bring tears of laughter to my eyes, but also deep sorrow for weapons that have remained in the trashcan (shaped like an Awesome Mech).

[Whompity]

Fixed the options/links. They should be more readable now. Sorry, was my first poll, didn't know how this forum software handled them until I'd posted it.

[aniviron]

I'm sorely tempted to vote for the terribad, just because all that ammo means you might actually see an ammo explosion in-game for once. I went with the one I submitted though, hoping the low cost of a commando will help increase player turnout for people who don't have the chassis already.

[RiceyFighter]

I don't care commando with 3 LL is so OP is got to be in.

[Whompity]

Keep the votes coming! We'll start this tomorrow, if all goes well.

One Trick Pony - not only is the 'mech build really, really bad, but the current game climate is also very unforgiving to even great light 'mech builds and pilots.

I think that one will provide the greatest challenge

[Chavette]

Since I won the SDR-5D challenge, anything is good for me.

[DeadlyNerd]

Was looking at the atlas thinking, this build is actually good, useless to your team but good, then I noticed 0 armor.

1 thing tho, most of these mechs either have low to no armor or cliche bad guns like MG,flamer and SPL.
Lacks creativity imo.

[armyof1]

I like the triple fail build, because on paper it doesn't even look so bad and would totally be built by a few newbies if they haven't read about these weapons in the forum.

[Acid Phase]

One Trick Pony @ Caustic Valley. Cue in "The Heat is On" - Glenn Frey

[Whompity]

Triple Threat and One Trick Pony in the lead, thusfar!

[Pater Mors]

Bump for great injustice!

I'd jsut ask for two changes to make it more suitable.

Swap a Flamer for the SPL in the left arm of the Dragon.

Drop the AC-5s to dual AC-2s and add 3 tons ammo and one more DHS. Chain fire till your shot.

[Whompity]

Looks like we're headed towards a Cornucopia of terribleness! I'll close the voting tonight.

You're right, I ripped the idea from elsewhere....

...closed beta, where my atlas couldn't have any armor. Good old bugs.

You'd be amazed at how many people happily run into your other 7 teammates concentrated cone of fire on their way to get that LRM boating atlas when they suddenly realise "OMG, it's got no armor! Free kill!"

I like terribad, not because its got all those different weapons, but because of all that ammo in the side torsos. Time to see ammo explosions everywhere!

[Sug]

These builds are hilarious.
