I'm sure you mean Thunder Chicken? From personal experience that mech is better on paper than on the board. Heh, one time I took it out with a Spector... in one turn. Granted I got some freak head shots, but I did it none the less...

The Hauptmann was my favorite looking 'mech after the cover of TRO3060, and being a Steiner player, but every time I used it (was a fan of the B config if I remember right, 2 ERPPC with a UAC20 and some mediums), I'd have the worst of luck like the ultra jamming the first shot, through armor criticals taking it out completely or turning it into a turret with two gyro hits.

That said, I'd love to see what Alex could do with the Zeus. Its one of my favorite looking 'Mechs from the game.

I never really got the whole craze that the 'boys in blue' had for the Zeus. But I'll admit it has a cool name and looks pretty nifty. I'd like to see what Alex could do with the Mauler... I always thought that was one of the coolest looking mechs.

I want to see the Clint http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clint. A nice 40 ton medium mech to keep the Cicada company.

you and me must be of the same blood

No Clan eh? Alright it has to be the Bushwacker. As far as I can tell the Bushwacker first appeared as a prototype during the clan invasion and was a total failure. After capturing some Clan tech (Mad Dog) the issues were resolved and a revised version went into production in 3053.

Great work horse mech, though it leans towards long range combat. The hardpoints are pretty good and should allow for a wide variety of custom builds.

One last thing: First MechWarrior game I ever played was MW3, first Mech I ever used... Yep Bushwacker
