I gotta say, I'm really excited about Alex Iglesias' 'Mech art, and I can't wait for more! In the meantime I've satisfied my hunger with Hayden's AMAZING repaints(check 'em out) but while we're waiting for more, I wanted to know what everybody thinks. Which 'mechs do you want redone the MOST? There are so many 'mechs that I can't wait to see but my most wanted are as follows:

- Panther
- Wolfhound
- Centurion
- Warhammer
- Awesome
- Banshee

Anyone care to share their thoughts?

Charger, it totally needs a slower engine, some PPC's and eva fins on the arms.

And decorate it all with a samurai theme.

Wait....

Those are the big ones that I would want, just for the sake of being thorough Thunderbolt, Griffin, Wasp, Stinger, and Phoenix Hawk are some that I would add.

If the Warhammer does not make it I will be very sad.

I'd like to see the Penetrator re-done. Love the PTR-4D performance-wise, but for a 'mech with 2xERLL, those arms are a bit scrawny...

honestly, there is at least 70-80 percent of all the mechs id like to see redesigned. i mean, there are some really cool looking designs, but there are so many lazy ones in some of these TROs its not even funny. there are quite a few that even look almost identical with slight differences (jihad mechs, but that is a whole different rant). i have a hand full of mechs i really love, but most of them are just so weird looking.

The books are filled with Mechs at look great but a little rework is allways a good idea.

Locust
Wasp
Jenner
Riflemen


These are not my favorites but just mechs that need some love. and alot of the core mechs you can read about that have never been popular except for a maybe getting past them in an older game. I'd say staying with a close design but adding a little extra modifications to make them look a little more realistic would be sweet.

Off the top of my head, I really, really wanna see if Alex can redo the Unseen Marauder. Different enough not for copyright complaints, similar enough that we don't have to deal with the sort-of-cool-but-nothing-like-the-original Reseen and its silly offset dorsal gun.

And yes, I saw his Glaug Officer Pod drawing on DeviantART. :)

EDIT: Well, yeah, the Warhammer would be cool too, but the Marauder seems to be a bit more of an underdog than that design, and it already seems like we'll see the Warhammer in-game.

For me, the Commando, Vindicator, Catapult, Highlander, Javelin, Firestarter, Jagermech, Blackjack, Flea, Valkyrie and Zeus. There are more but these are the core mechs I'd want to see for the 3049 time-line. Some are time worn designs, other are recent but problematic, and a few are workhorses. Also, most of these come with the added bonus of having refits over the next decade and having decent set-ups for personalization.

Well considering the artist, he can put his style on all the battlemechs to be honest. Some do need more love than others...
