Heavy missile-bearing arm... check.
Heavy ballistic-bearing arm that switches with a heavy energy-bearing arm on different variants... check.
CT and side-torso mounted lasers, with the option of mounting one up high... check.
Dat cockpit, unobstructed view... check.

Unless PGI royally messes up with the mech's in-game model the Zeus shouldn't be anywhere near "Awesome" size, except maybe at the peak in its shoulders. An easy solution for this would be to give the shoulders more armor, a-la their planned improved perk system in game.

All this i can equip on BM or Cyclops, now in game we have 3 80t(with ManOWar) mechs, and only one 90t mech.

Stupid and ugly as they may be...the Steiners need their faction-specific medium Mech in order to be taken seriously.

+1 for the Zeus.

we whip up Purple Do-Do Birds pretty easily with our Commandos alone, thanks.

We would like our Zeus for when we face some halfway decent opponents though, like Capellans or Periphery Bandits. We already got Atlases and Banshees to stomp Snakes with.

[Wieland]

Zeus.
Its about time we get it.

Well if they can make it into a true C&C (Command and Control) Mech, then the Cyclops all the way. maybe give it a buff to sensors... it would also need a hard-wired Command Console...

But that goes into role warfare, so maybe?

I'd like to see the Mauler or Thug, maybe they can ignore the time line requirement again like they did for the S models of several of the clan mechs, since you know, they didn't get developed till after they started fighting the IS....

I said Charger because I want them to put in melee damage.

turns out not many people thought the same.

Nope. Most of us want it, I am sure.

But if they didn't fix it so the Highlander can do a Highlanders Burial, why would I remotely think that putting a weak sister 80 tonner in the game would get melee in?

[Elizander]

Everyone change your vote to the Cyclops RIGHT NOW!

Little chance owned new ECM mech.

[Diligent Gravy]

Tough choice for me between the Zeus and Cyclops.... but I would choose the latter because I don't ever recall it being in a recent MW title. I know I could b e totally wrong on that but my memory is poop.

[Thorn Hallis]

Actually none of 'em, but I gave my vote to the Cyclops because of the silly look.

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

No Fair! I want both the Zeus and the Cyclops!

Charger for the AC20 variant ONLY... maybe the 4 Large as well.

[Alistair Winter]

Zeus. It's the prettiest and it has arm mounted ballistics.

[warner2]

These 2 (discounting the Charger) are a bit 'meh'. I wouldn't buy either probably. Now the Mauler, the Crab, the Annihilator, they offer something different and so should be prioritised over more 'mechs offering nothing new.

'Cause it's a slightly bigger War Hammer?

[Ens]

don´t forget, that another 90ton mech ( the mauler ) has already been confirmed

rather have 3 good 90 tonners than 1.5 good 80 tonners!

By "something different" you mean dakka?

[Enileph]

I would vote for the Annihilator. But since that is not on the list then Cyclops. Another 90ton mech first. We have 2 80ton.

Assuming that the Cyclops would be good or that the Zeus wouldn't be good.
