Not speculation, but confirmed FACTS
-Light Mech
-Humanoid
- Cannot currently have MASC
-Cannot Be Harmony Gold
- Bryan says "controversial", Russ is clueless as to what that means.
- NOT PANTHER
- Must have 3 timeline/technology acceptable variants
So using these factual criteria, here is a critique of your list.

20 ton mechs eligible
Hornet, not humanoid
Mercury, not humanoid needs MASC
stinger* Harmony Gold Unseen
and Wasp* Harmony Gold Unseen
25 ton mechs eligible
Mongoose* -Possible
30 ton mechs eligible
Falcon - Possible, but very rare
, Firefly -extinct outside WOlfs Dragoons, not humanoid
, Hermes* -possible
, Hussar - Not Humanoid
, Valkyrie - Harmony Gold Unseen
and of course the Urbie - Only possible with mechlab revamp. Potentially could be part of UI2.0, so it IS possible, though unlikely.
35 ton mechs eligible
Firebee, Primitive Mech, essentially extinct
, Firestarter, -Possible
Peregrine* - Clan Mech
and Wolfhound -Possible.

And you forgot the Thorn and the Javelin.

Didn't forget the thorn and Javelin...not enough variants at this time....we will see...

I know right? Can I at least see the leak so that I may be properly chastised?

I can now be properly chastised.....

You sure are creative! I have no problems with hints, no matter how obvious they are, as they are not the actual content.

Well, in that case: the new mech starts fires.

So we need back the **Spanish Inquisition** to chastise and punish like in the good old days.

I don't even know what it is and I want to buy it. I got the MC ready!

Smokey the Bear is unhappy with the new Hero 'Mech .

So if I'm understanding these hints correctly, the new chassis is going to play something like this?

[Agelmar]

Mirage.

[AlmightyAeng]

Part of me hopes all the hints are trolling and that the new 'mech has absolutely nothing to do with fire.

That part of you will be disappointed if this isn't a giant hoax. But good news: as with the BJ-1X, nobody's going to make you keep flamers where lasers obviously should be.

Johnny Cash knows what this new mech is all about...

[Butane9000]

I can say without issue that it is one of these that I listed before earlier in this thread.

[Agelmar]

I'm hoping they went with the blacked out arm paint job.

Oh, absolutely! There's nothing WRONG with this 'mech...I'm just unduly partial to another (nevermind that the Jenner made it redundant).

yeah, no interest in the Firestarter 'Mech at all. I'd buy the Wolfhound with real money, but the Firestarter chassis was always one I looked at as not only looking stupid but being a terrible 'Mech.

Oh well.

If Community Warfare does what it says its going to do and makes 'Mechs cost more for different factions, the WLF-2 would do what the JR7-F does (well, sort of without jets) cheaper for the FedCom players.
