Ooooooo....

This is a tough one

Between the Zues and Cyclops...I love the Clops, but I think I am going to have to lean towards the Zues. Just for the Artwork Bishop and I did.

[Nometh]

I just had to vote Zeus for it is my favourite Battlemech! I'm going to be all panda sad face if the Zeus doesn't make it into the game.

In fact, if the Zeus had been part of the Founders program, I would have joined the fun a lot earlier than I actually did.

hoping for the Zeus, would not like to see the cyclops added to the game until ECM gets revamped.

[DivineEvil]

My vote to Cyclops.
- It's a general IS mech, so it would work good for everyone. As much as I would love the Emperor instead to complete "mostly Liao mech family", it's better to go for more distributed mech in a wake of CW.

- It's a 90 ton mech, and Highlander need a pal in his class. Again, Emperor and Mauler would be a better choice for more varied hardpoint setup compared to HGN, but if choice is so limited, then fine, Cyclops then.

- It's a mech which PGI can use to fill the maximum speed gap for 90t mechs, which exist between 85 and 95 tons, with both able to mount 400 rate engine somewhere, while HGN can mount only 330th at best.

- It's important to fill up the flawed choices in weight classes, thus incorporating mechs like Cyclops and Nightstar is more beneficial, than adding even more 80t mechs to the two existing ones.

Charger would probably better suit my playstyle, but i'm just too curious about what Alex will make of the Cyclops. Will not complain about any of these!

[ReconTheWelshie]

Zeus please. Thank you very much

[Trevor Belmont]

Cyclops please!!

[AngelRipperX]

Need more 90 tons mechs.

Tough choice.......

Zeus is gonna be the "peoples choice" but..:Cyclops is the more useful. ECM, heavy module mech.

that's my vote!

Bishop, just curious but do you do these drawings yourself?

Cause if so im pretty impressed...

like 4000 views but only 500 votes, why is that? some prefer not to give their opinion as public?

Actually thats about in line with the average... 10%ish participation.... just about everyone poll I've done for my software company has about the same level of participation.

PGI would do itself better if there was a profile option that you could use that would EMAIL these to people who indicated they always wanted to be notified of votes like these. Then you would see alot more votes.

maybe the counter will sometimes count twice because of my "guest-view" and "member-view" (logged in)? :-)

I'm not a BT guy and I have no clue about this 3 Mechs until you implement one of them! So I don't want to manipulate the vote. The are a lot like me for sure. :-D

To satisfy my curiosity please weigh in on this poll, thanks!

Yeah....sure....Ninja poll for new pack haz lot of stealth ;-p

Non the less: more votes for the Zeus!!!

[Sardauker Legion]

At first, i was voting the Zeus, always liked it.
Then i was thinking that a Heavy Timberwolf may have more firepower than a 5 ton heavier IS mech... and voted Cyclops.

What use can you have about the Charger? 5 small lasers? Ok, strip standard engine, put on XL engine, but you still have NOT the same firepower of the Gargoyle / Man o War. Better the Zeus. So:

1. Cyclops
2. Zeus
0. Charger

You are already givin the King Crab to the Top Tear buyers.

Sooner or later it will be avaiable for MC and Cbills.

Since few months, there is the Banshee avaiable

Why other assault mechs? We got the Vindicator, so now another light and a heavy, right?

Tough choice between the Zeus and cyclops for me. I ended up going withe the Cyclops since we currently have two 80 tonners.

That was pretty much my thinking as well. Plus i remember playing the Cyclops in Mech Commander 2 i believe it was and reading about it in one of the Battletech Books.
The one where Ariana Winston of the Eridani pilots one of them.
So for me the Cyclops has more history. But i wouldn't mind a Zeus either.

And the way it looks now Zeus and Cyclops have an almost equal amount of votes.

Not that anything would beat the Mauler, that one might be even better than the Cyclops.

[Lord Ikka]

Udh, we should have the Hatamoto-Chi instead of the Charger...

[Senor Fuego]

There is probably a more popular option that is not on this list: Mauler.

[Soul Tribunal]

Oh is this a tight race!

Come on all my MWO Companions and Vote for the Zeus!

Description
The Charger is seen as an example of abject failure in BattleMech design. hmm that's out of the picture then

The Cyclops began production in 2710 too old and much like an atlas.

The Zeus ZEU-6Y ZEU-9S ZEU-9S2 Gets my vote
