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...
