I was torn between the Atlas and the Hunchback, and was waiting on how customisation would affect things.
Then the Legendary thing came along and made the decision for me.

(I have to admit, though - I kinda prefer the non-founder Catapult look, and while I love the Catapult's general visage and being around I've never really found myself drawn to -using- it, so I suspect I won't be using my founder one all that much)

Better saddle up, everyone.
Arm yourselves well.
Atlas Warriors Online is going to be a rocky experience.

Huh, I chose the Atlas, because I'm the UltiTank

As long as we can configure variants for these 'Mechs and not just be stuck with the Prime config, these 'Mechs should be pretty damn useful!

Too bad there's no Warhammer or Fluffy Pink Urbanmechs

Go BIG or go home....... oh wait, I am home. Oh well, guess I will get them all anyways.

Well I originally had picked the Hunchback, but then changed my mind anc cancelled it, because I thought I would like the Catapult better. However once I made the purchase it still shows Hunchback. So I guess I will stay with that as not very may people have picked the Hunchback yet.

I got the Legendary pack, in part so I didn't have to choose but mostly to support Piranha Games and their awesome work.

Hunchy for me... Looking at the poll I'm surprised more people haven't opted for the medium

I think once people read how the mechs would work, most of us went heavy/assault simply out of a cost perspective. You're talking about 10-20 million c-bills, roughly for a heavy or assault mech, and you have to elite it out 4 times, to get the 4 available variants at launch, not to mention other variants they'll release down the road, AND all of the fun coming our way next year... A Hunchback only costs around 5-6 million c-bills, but I was torn between the Atlas and Hunchback, until I saw how the Founder's mechs worked, then I said to my self "Self, you really should go for that badass looking Atlas AS7-D. I mean what's not to like, LRM 20, AC20, SRM 6, and 4 ML to boot. That's a lot of hurt coming somebody's way."

I picked an Atlas. The C-Bill earnings booster will help offset repair costs, and it saves me from having to buy an Atlas down the road. Catapult isn't really my cup of tea unless it's a K2, and I don't see much point in picking a Hunchback or Jenner when they're both relatively cheap. Last but not least, my chosen affiliation.

If we can modify our Founder's Mechs, I'm going to cut the SRM off, and replace the AC/20 with a Gauss Rifle. Getting rid of the SRM entirely will give me a little extra tonnage and space to work with. I might also consider reducing the LRM-20 to an LRM-15, if it means I can upgrade the Medium Lasers to Pulse Lasers, and mount a couple extra heatsinks to support them.

It's set in 3049. Were there PL in 3049? It's been years for me, so i'm not sure.

EDIT: NM, now thinking about it I'm 100% sure it was in before the clan wars.

According to Sarna, MPLs were reintroduced in 3037.

Why no love for the hunchback? I got it purely for looks...

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

Figured Id go for the Atlas for a money maker given the C-Bil boost

[DaffyGKH]

Incase anyone was curious, after reading my previous post, I went Hunchy.

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

Yea, I think I was stuck thinking of the 3025 Technical manual. I sadly couldn't find many friends to play the board game. And I don't remember PL in that one. So it makes sense.

[Flashdance]

Couldn't make up my mind......first thought Cat......then Hunch........then wanted Atlas.....ssssoooo....... I sold a kidney and donated 3 quarts of blood ....... Legendary, Baby!!!!! Legendary and a ill dizzy.......must.........lay......down..........

[Mechwarrior Buddah]

[Gaussguy]

Well i started off with elite Jenner, then i started thinking and reading and decided the legendary would allow me to play any role i happened to be in the mood for at any given time, right out of the gates.
