Can you choose a variant, or will you automatically receive the standard variant?

Because I wouldn't want a Catapult C1, but I'd definitely shell out cash for a Founder's -K2 variant...!

I got the Hunchback. I plan on swapping the AC-20 for a Gauss Rifle, so that I can pilot it like it's a fat Hollander.

I was tempted by the Jenner, but with that kind of super-maneuverable mech, I like a robust electronics package over a gaggle of lasers and SRMs. When I do pick up a lightweight, it will probably be a Raven, a later-era Jenner variant, or something that gets released later on down the line.

The Atlas and Catapult don't really push any of my happy buttons. That's not to say that I'll never ever ever pilot either one of them, but they're not chasis that I feel I'm going to have an overwhelming urge to pilot on day-one.

Catapult. LRMs are going to be less affected by Australian ping times on the US servers than anything else.

I will go for the Catapult once my salary gets in this month... I never liked the Catapult in all honesty but PGI's redesign? I would like to adopt 1 as a plushy/pet if I could :D

You are aware that a MadCat (Timber Wolf) and the Vulture (Mad Dog) are two different mechs, right?

Atlas.

Because the idea of killing Clanners with one just fills me with all kinds of warm, fuzzy nostalgia.

Warhammer's actually my favorite, but being one of the Unseen, I doubt it'll be returning, so... 2nd favorite it is!

Catapult, with all those Atlas around it will be funny doing long-range support in battle.

Btw, I didn't read any news about it, but I hope they'll soon add the Mad Cat to the list of mechs :Q___.

I went for the Catapult - I'm more comfortable in heavier mechs, but didn't feel like rocking the Atlas. Fire support with the LRMs is also compatible with my playstyle.

Probably not for a while yet. The Mad Cat is a Clan mech, and as far as we know the Clans are a long way from invading in this continuity. Don't expect to see any Clan tech for a long time.

With an AC/20 your up close and they fear

I picked up the Atlas. I've always been and assault or heavy mech fan but I do love the lighter mech I just feel I pilot the bigger mechs more effectively
