Kodiak (Assault)
Loki (Heavy)
Arctic Wolf (Medium)
Hankyu (Light)

Thoughts? (Sticking to a 3/3/3/3 package.)

[Valkyrie Brynhildr]

Isn't the Kodiak a 100 tonner?

I'd hope for the Supernova for Assault (90 tonner)

[Hallbor]

i don't know all of them i have to admit. The kodiak sounds really interesting from what i saw on Sarna and i have heard the name before. So it could be interesting.
But as far as clan assaults go my favourite is without doubt the "Mad Cat MK2"
Loved that thing since i saw/drove it first in the campaign in MW4-Vengeance
I know it is doubtful we will get it anytime soon since it was only developed later in the "timeline" but i can wish i guess. ;-)

For heavy a lot want the Vulture and it does have a fairly special look and a very interesting weapons loadout, even if it "only" weights 60 tons.

I want my Vulture...

I could go for switching the Loki out for the Vulture/MadDog

I don't see us getting any non-omni clan mechs for a while.

[Tkhaw]

The next 4 clan mechs after these would probably from TRO 3050

My predictions would be

Firemoth
Ice Ferret
Mad Dog
Executioner

[FupDup]

What I would personally hope for:

Light: I dunno which light, they all seem to suck in one way or another
Medium: Shadow Cat or maybe Ice Ferret
Heavy: Cauldron Born, because it would be the beast heavy omni by far (due to having both Endo + FF, and good speed, and good armor)
Assault: The remaining ones seem to suck in some way or another but I think the Executioner would be the least sucky of the assault omnis (still has less pod space than a Mad Cat, though).

I don't think the Supernova has enough variants available at our point in the timeline (3050).

[Wabbit Swaya]

Might be a little too early for he Hankyu though (TRO 3058), the firemoth, if they stick to TRO artwork, is gonna be a badass ridgehumper. All you'd see sticking up would be it's two itsy bitsy fists and incoming death. That coupled with it's 174kph before speed tweak, and this thing would be beast.
The only other light that can be brought into play in 3050 timeframe, Mist Lynx (Koshi),

The assault slot could either be the Executioner (Galdiator) or the lighter Gargoyle (Man o' War), either would make me happy. Heck maybe even the dated Naga could be the clan's version of the unseen.

The heavy could be the Hellbringer (Loki), the Mad Dog (Vulture) again, either would make me a happy happy pilot. Heck you could even have he one variant (Crab-like) Champion C.

The clan has a lot of mediums in the 3050 time frame that it can bring to bear. The Viper (dragonfly), Stooping Hawk, and the Ice Ferret (Fenris),

Caudron is my favorite Mech but I believe appears later in canon (3058?) so its unlikely to be introduced so early in regards to timeline.

[Wabbit Swaya]

Best app I ever loaded on my phone, Mech Factory, has all the BattleMechs and OmniMechs, listed by TRO, has all the variants, and even has the TT stats for them.
The cauldron-born comes in 3058 with 4 variants.

This. They'll probably finish up doing all the original 3050 Omnis before they move on to mechs like the the Kodiak, Mad Cat MkII, or the Hankyu

The base, prime, and alternate variants a-c are all available in 3049.

You won't getting much worth buying for C-Bills in terms of Clan Mechs before September, October and November. After that I have absolutely no Idea what kind of content they will have.

Ohmegerd! Thanks for the update FD. Here is hoping it comes along then!

[Xoxim SC]

Would be nice if these came out as a reinforcement package now. Would rather see the Mad Dog/Gargoyle or Executioner/Shadow Hawk/Fire Moth personally, but that's just me.

Supernova is poo, and doesn't have very interesting variants.

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

These are the only things that make sense:

Koshi
Fenris
Vulture
Gladiator

Maybe they will be just offering the Hero mech versions of the next Clan mechs followed by MC and CBill availability. I would like to see the Inner Sphere retaliation to the Clan pack and have IS Omnimechs in the next pack.
