I would nom nom nom nom for a parana mech :-D

[Myke Pantera]

My bet is on the UrbanMech. Why you ask? Here's why:

a) The new mech is said to be controversal. The Urbi got the most votes for most wanted light IS mech here http://mwomercs.com/...37#entry2957137 and yet most light pilots will tell you this mech is DOA due to it's lack of speed.
B) The mech is said to be faction specific, and the Urbi is strongly linked with the capellan federation.
c) The mech is said to be a Hero mech and there is some kind of machinegun version which doesn't have a model number, and is also strongly linked with Liao, that would serve well as basis for a hero mech. Also since the mech seams popular PGI can expect to sell quite a few of these.

I still hope I'm wrong and we'll see the wolfhound instead.

It will be the Firestarter.

Your Wolfhounds and Firestarters can take a back seat, a real 'Mech is coming to town.

We already got the Urbanmech, though...

[Imperius]

NO URBAN MECH! Thing is an ugly piece of scrap.

Weird...I always thought it would work like this:

[MahKraah]

noone mentioned the
Valkyrie

yet?
".....During the Succession Wars the Valkyrie became the standard light 'Mech of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns......"
controversial? a lrm carrier light.....
alot variants, famous as the "standart" light for the davies

Simply because the Valkyrie is one of the Macross Unseen mechs, and from previous statements in interviews/podcasts there will be no further 'Unseen' battlemechs being introduced into MWO anytime soon. Still there are few contenders for the machine, and I'm hoping a preview of the upcoming hero mech makes it into the website banner slideshow this week. At least then it wets our appetite, and gets us planning!

New hero mech! Unleash the Goliath bird eater Spider!

Boring! I already keep and breed them!

I'm really thinking it'll be the Firestarter... it has significant potential to be a strong addition to the game. The 9-H has 6 energy and 2 ballistic (which makes it a solid competitor for the RVN-4X). The 9-A has 8 energy (which makes it a stronger Jenner - and one with real arms) and the 9-S has 7 energy hardpoints with an excuse to run ECM. If they make the hero have... say... 4 energy, 2 ballistic and an ECM, then they'd sell dropships full of them.

If that was the case then I would drop for that hero... but yea it would be controversial because then it'll have ECM, JJ, more base hardpoints then any light mech with a CB bonus... Pay-to-win will be screamed from the rooftops! Watching those who get one running around in either a gleeful manner or a manic chuckle!

[CaptGensman]

Why not a Oscout?
That would be a controversial Mech. Information Warfare for the win

Ostscout is Unseen.

Not just unseen... harmony gold unseen. They've already said they have no intention of coming within ERPPC range of the disaster that is harmony gold.

[BarHaid]

I was under the impression that the Osts were no longer considered unseen. Not reseen; no longer unseen, due to them not looking like a Regult Pod ever. Therefore I'm placing my bet on an Ostscout.

[Sephlock]

How about a hero kit fox? Or puma?
