I couldn't pick out one

Though if i'm going forward in time I'm clearly rich so don't have to so my stable would be..

Victor in pink camo named Pink panther, with a picture of himself on the chest, and lots of kill marks.

Warhammer shades of grey, called head hunter, monogramme of a headless atlas on the arms and thighs

Battlemaster, the proper looking one not the sick version we see here, low vis paint job marked with tamar and lyran commonwealth markings

Omega, because nothing says world domination like 3 Gauss Rifles mounted on 150 ton monster.

If I had to pick something within the 20-100 ton area, I'd probably pick a Griffin. Very mobile and excellent at firing at targets at super long range. I'd have to cut the ammo/ton ratio down to increase the weight of each individual missile though. 8.3kg per missile wouldn't be the most frightening weapon in terms of explosive power. That new Russian Missile Launch Truck with 800kg missiles capable of shooting at 90km distance will not be impressed...

I'd want a hunchback with a massive boombox for a hunch, and only pulse lasers to fight with. ALL THE WUBS

If I have to go with an IS Mech then I would go for a Marauder MAD-9S, of the reseen design. I would change the ERPPC's to CERPPC's and add in extra HS with the spare tonnage. The C.A.S.E. would also be placed within the left torso with the ammo. She would be painted red and bear the legend 'Scarlet Lady' along with a very NSFW picture along the left centre torso side. Inside I would have a small bedroom and a large supply of mead and munch as well as my music which would be linked to big external speakers. Finally I would have power ports and a high powered computer.

A Hatchetman-6D. A fast 45 tonner wielding a 3-Ton Hatchet. This model has ECM, an XL engine, and Endo-Steel chassis to pile in more speed and more jump jets.

Instead of a Hatchet, I would Be carrying around a Mech scale Baseball Bat, and a baseball uniform paintjob. I'll be swingin for your noggin, trying to hit a home run.

I am not a fan of Melee Weapon on a Mech in TT. They rarely get to use the weapon. Everyone targets them and the Melee Weapon always seams to get destroyed first.

I'd stick with my MAD-3R Marauder. Served me well through the 3rd and 4th Succession Wars and well into the Clan Invasion before I switched to a captured Timber Wolf. Named her Rolling Thunder in honor of her dual PPCs and AC5.

My personal touch was flashing lights on the turbines behind the AC mount and a siren I'd use to get mech's attention so I could core their CT while my Strike and Fire lances attacked from the flanks. Almost lost her a few times but she's one tough mech.

For the Clans, I just shot them in the back. Zellbrigen was for chumps who hadn't learned fighting them on their terms was silly. They took the siren as an indication I meant to duel them 1 on 1. Big mistake.

the battle mech that I would want is the SRC-5C variant of the four-legged sirocco Assault mech.
my personal touch would be to add the jump jets from the SRC-6C variant of the Sirocco.

Reconfigured Hellbringer Prime in appropriate to the mission camouflage with standard insignias and markers of my Clan and unit. No excesses in interior or exterior, for they are just waste of resources and do not befit to Clan warrior.

Catapult K2 with my preferred "Nut Oven" build, 2ERPPC, 2LL. Black and gold with an Aztec theme, with stylized machatl on each arm.

Personal touch? Internal thermometer just to show how much my nuts are roasting.

I would build small robots out of parts from salvaged mechs, and decorate my cockpit with them.

One mech, from a magic fairy?

I'm very tempted to get a Hellstar 3, as a Clan Wolf-in-Exile mech built as a campaign workhorse, that would be my ride of choice. I'll probably keep a stock Wolf paint job on it.
Spoiler




As for personal touches, I'd have a Commando stature in Doomguy colors sitting on my dash.
Spoiler


I'll have that statue along with an Aliens Motion Tracker, so that as my map updates during a mission, I'd get the familiar sonar pings playing with contacts appearing on the map.

Last thing would be have the computer sound like KITT from Knight Rider and have the cockpit have a KITT theme, and then meeting objectives and getting kills in a mission would have the theme tune blaring

There are only two mechs that have got an amazingly good record with me. The Hunchback, and the Atlas.

So I'd take an Atlas DDC, STD360, 2 ML in ct. AC20, 2 LL in arms. and as many SRM6 in the LT as possible.
2 tons ammo for AC and 1 ton ammo for SRM6. Max armour, endo, DHS. If there's anything left over, more ammo please. Obviously don't forget ECM.

Personal touch?
I'd paint it in the colours used in Mechcommander Gold.

But if I'm stuck with TT, I'd downgrade that engine to the 300 (not much choice), and use the extra tonnage to get more armour/ammo, and an extra SRM6 launcher, and upgrade the LL to ERLL, with enough DHS to keep it running. Keep ECM for breaking up C3.
