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...!

The email says we automatically get the prime.

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.

[ball0fire]

yeah i chose the hunchback

purely cos i knew everyone would be taking the others (mainly atlas and cat) and i like to be different

[FJKO]

i choose the Catapult, thought long about cat or Atlas
the other ones were out immediately

[BlackAbbot]

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

[Vendross]

Catapult all the way.

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

i want a Mad Cat (vulture) so bad...

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

Thanks for the info!

Oh well, guess it'll be Veteran Founder for me only...

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___.

[LethalMezzle]

Jenner.

I like things that go fast, I enjoy being a Scout and it looks cool

[Cracks]

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.

Hunchback, I plan on stripping some armour and lasers to get a bigger engine (if possible) so that i can hunt down scouts!

[Worchyld]

I got a Hunchback cause I like to see the fear of my enemies up close
With an AC/20 your up close and they fear

[Shooty]

Catapult... gotta love the classics

Actually thought it would be a less popular choice. Guess this post isn't enuff for a decent sample but damn! Gonna be some fun long-range rocket battles

[Wyver]

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

[rustbucket]

Hunchback, love the AC plus command skills combo
