Wow! Bishops art actually makes that ugly *** mech look good. I always wanted to like it as it was the evolution of the Marauder, but it just looked so damn ugly.

[Sleepyboy14]

Gonna go with the Timberwolf (MadCat).

[Strazik]

For me, Top IS is the Imp, Clan definitely the Kodiak.

Before I got into MWO I only had experience with MW2 and very limited time playing MW4: Vengeance so I would probably would have said either Timber Wolf or Marauder. Since I started playing MWO I've developed a soft spot for the Jenner. When I first started playing this game I think the only mech I recognized was the Jenner. I tried a bunch of other mechs as I learned the game but it wasn't until I bought the Jenner that I felt I had found a mech that worked for me. It's fast, the 6 ML loadout works well, has jump jets, looks cute when it's running around, and it has a cool name!

For single mech variant, the Hunchback 4G is my favorite overall. Looks cool with its BFG hunch. But even without it - all the HBKs are neat, including the IIC.

I also like the Marauder. It was kinda my favorite from Mechwarrior 1. (Even though I had a lot of "leggign" success with a Locust in single battle contracts, and the Battlemaster was a must for multi-battle contracts.)

[Karl the Plumber]

Super hard question, but I think...maybe...Mauler. It's either Mauler or Hauptmann for me. Probably Mauler.

[Chados]

The RFL-3N Rifleman, refitted as an RFL-3C with two AC10/two ML. My main ride in Multiplayer Online Battletech on the GEnie service in the early 1990s. My intro to the Battletech universe.

[VirtualSmitty]

The Banshee, especially the 3S. My very first mech in TT was a 3E which was surprisingly good. Later ran the 3S and did so for ears. It was the king of level 1 assaults and one of the few mechs that rocked level one tech that I comfortably ran against clans. It's also my most played chassis in MWO.

[Aramuside]

Strangely ones which grabbed my imagination through their imagery or fluff text - Exterminator for the text and Stone Rhino (Behemoth) for the picture.

Though I will admit the early novel/game coverage made the Phoenix Hawk a favourite too.

[Ken Harkin]

BT tabletop from the old days... Thunderbolt

MWO... Marauder

Hellstar


What's that, it's a 4/6 95t mech that can fire 4 cERPPCs and not over heat?

[Jackofallpots]

Laser variant Hunchback

It's not the first mech I liked, but it's the first mech I loved

[Kitty Bacon]

The Bushwacker. Love its loadout possibilities, its tankyness, its profile, how it handles. Everything about it just feels right for a 55 ton mech.

[Berean03]

Ok for the lore side and Tabletop it has to be the PhoenixHawk. But for the Mechwarrior games its a toss up between the Bushwhacker or the Nova.

[Monster Ultra Zero]

Highlander. Always.

[Lupis Volk]

Toro.


The Star League took the effort to wipe that mech off the face of the entire galaxy. Only to come back around the civil war era+.
