Is it true the Orion is the oldest Mech chassis in MWO currently?

Looking for expert advice on which Mech is the oldest in production on MWO!

[ice trey]

Do you mean in the lore, or in the order of which mechs were released in MWO?

[Brody319]

Oldest in the game, or the whole series all together?

[Glaive-]

I would guess that he's talking about in the lore.

[Eximar]

The Orion started production in 2456. The Banshee began in 2445.

[ice trey]

If it's lore, it seems like the Banshee (2445).
After comes the
Orion (2456)
Shadow Hawk (2457, recalled due to armor issues and reintroduced almost 100 years later)
Commando (2463)
Thunderbolt (2491)
Griffin (2492).

Of course, those are mostly prototype versions and have since been revised to the Succession War versions we know, but there some of the first MWO mechs to show up in the lore.

Thank you all!

[ryoken12]

I thought Locust was one of the first mechs produced. Also stinger and wasp, but those not in game yet.

They let you back in?

[VirtualSmitty]

Banshee is the oldest.

[Accused]

Mackie in lore.

[Tezcatli]

They should add the Mackie just for the hell of it.
