if the Viper is in, it won't just re-use the Nova's legs but the pelvis also. ( so don't expect it to present that much of a low profile)

I want the Piranha to be in there, somewhere. Possibly the bonus mech. Unless they are adding Deputy Dawg Urbie. Then I will want Deputy Dawg Urbie!!!!

For the fifth mech I propose: the Endothor.

maybe, the cauldron born is going to be the "special" mech while the vulture is the regular heavy mech the pack gets.

Probably take some flak for my guess (opinion) but I would like the woodsman as the secret mech. Why not have a 1st generation omnimech available. The mad dog is a no brained as for the rest it's up in the air for me

Woodsman only has 2 canon variants.

The most common alternate configuration in the Woodsman's long career mounted two ER PPCs, twoMedium Pulse Lasers, with a Large Pulse Laser and ER Small Laser for backup. It keeps the same number of double heat sinks as the primary configuration, but relocates them across the torso. BV (2.0)  leads me to believe there are other less used variants not worthy of listing

I am pretty sure they are finishing with TRO 3050. So expect the chassis to come from there. Rules out most.

Still going with
Mist Lynx
Viper
Hellbringer
Gargoyle

Mad Dog as bonus.

Actually, I would like to propose a theory: PGI wants money.

Because PGI wants money, the Mad Dog cannot be the bonus mech. Otherwise, how would they sell more Clan packs v2.0? So, they will put the Mad Dog in the heavy slot in the Clan Pack.

The BONUS mech, however, can't be the Hellbringer (Bonus ECM = cries of P2W/A-Pods argument), which means it has to be another mech available in 3050. Again, my money is on the Cauldron Born, but I could be swayed with anything.

Mad Dog makes sense for free chassis. If you need to buy top tiers to get it free, it very much pushes sales to the higher tiers.

Would love for the Cauldron born to be in there, personally. However, I'm not sure they're bringing 3052 mechs in for wave 2.

Just about 30 min until reveal time. Looking forward to see what Mechs and other goodies. I hope we get totem Warhorns. Would love to roar when I get a kill, or hear a Falcon screech or the wolf howl.

Also looking forward to the Clan camo that we might get.

Well, Russ has not said that we are getting the announcement exactly at noon PDT, but i have been hoping to see it for the whole day and i cannot way a second more!

It is in these moments that i cannot resist to the typical Clan mysticism and i will pray both the Kerenskies to make that the Mad Dog is the bonus chassis... I am not SO interested in the most likely light and medium 'Mech, compared to the Mad Dog, and i am not going to spend 90$ (though the change favors us europeans B) ) for a high tier package :(
