Well i must say that i hate the "Flea". It is well named with the small amount of weapons and the speed makes miss more often then i should. I keep wondering which PBI is going to shoot his pea shooter and disable my mech.

But it is useful when you need fire support and have a tight limit. I can't see how you can justify wasting 60 tons on a Rifleman whithout Aerospace to kill (TC has a to hit bonus then and it does have 360 torso twist)

A HOW dare you call the WTH 1 a Demon!, it's perfectly good at it's role as long range LRM support, Also it sports armor and weapon paylods very decent for it's wieght class.

I dislike clan mechs/mini maxed energy monsters, gimme 3025 PoS's anyday!

Mechs I DISLIKE?

That will be a hard list, but I dislike anything that does not have a torso twist.

Um... Maybe the Vulture because its like a wannabe Madcat, but then again it looks cool. I always thought it was silly that an Atlas has real humanoid arms, but the mech is awesome... I got tired of fighting Uziels in the MW4 campaign, but thats not a reason to dislike it.

I guess maybe a firefly or owens out of MW3.

They all have their cool points about them. I would say some are cooler than others, but even the less popular mechs are still cool. Its a giant walking tank, what is not to love.

Speed of a heavy and the armor of a medium, with a mishmosh weapons layout. To quote Haggard: "You have to embrace the suck."

Charger.
Why.... Just why?

Also the Shadow Hawk to a lesser degree. -2 Jump jets in favor of what? more heat syncs.

The overly Japanesey, playstationey things from TRO 3055.

A specific design I can't stand though? Probably the Annihilator. I hate everything about it, from that stupid pod-mounted cockpit on top to the fat belly and hip joints that make no sense, the lack of speed and the LB-X Autocannons THAT WOULDN'T STOP KNOCKING ME DOWN IN MECHWARRIOR 3!!! *Ahem* Sorry, got a little carried away there.

Hussar HSR-300-D, with a armor rating of 24 it is probably one of the weakest mechs ever.

Atleast two PPC blasts could destroy this mech.

Probably in minority, but I do not like Atlas. It is not bad Mech, but people who pilot annoy.

Hey now, the Charger makes a nasty surprise in 3025. Those fists hit as hard as large lasers. They shoulda found a way to make it 5/8/5 though for the DFA lulz.

Yeah but who needs armor when you've got speed and range? I love picking apart heavy and assault 'Mechs with the Hussar. The other guy gets so frustrated.

One shot and you're dead, you'd always be better of with the HSR-200-Db or HSR-500-D.

I've heard more than enough unflattering things about the Annihilator - one fellow even compared its appearance to that of one of those flasks used to hold a urine sample - but I love the thing. Nothing quite beats the satisfaction of sending the opposite team into absolute panic-mode in MW4 with a single alpha-strike from a Gausszilla Annihilator.

As for Mechs I really dislike... the Hellspawn never really did anything for me. Goofy-looking ****** couldn't even die properly.

Duh, those versions are at a higher tech level. If you're stuck with a 300-D it's because it's the darkest days of the succession wars and nobody else has anything much better. Except ComStar, but they're jerks.

Hey hey... stop crying about my little cutie! :lol:
But you're right. The Annihilator is so ugly... almost beautiful again. So ugly he is!
I think the Annihilator is awesome and since "Mechwarrior2:Ghost Bears Legacy", the Annihilator is one of my fav. mechs.
Oldie but goldie!

I dislike mechs which hold guns or melee-weapons in their hands. Like the ugly Battlemaster, Hatchetman or Vixen (Incubus). Another "hate-mech" is the Hatamoto-Chi. Just disgusting.

Open TRO: 3060. page through until you get to Inner Sphere 'Mechs. Look at all of the lights along with the Viking, Sirocco, Shugenja, Jinggau, Barghest, and Yeoman. Recoil in horror.

Open TRO: 3067. Page through to the Clan 'Mechs, pausing on the Cronus along the way. Once you get to the Clan Mechs, examine for your viewing displeasure the Pinion, Hellfire, and Bloodkite.

Those are all ones that I dislike purely for looks; if I got into 'Mechs I disliked for combat capabilities, then this list would be way to long. I'm a bit picky, you see...

The charger has its uses [Mobile Leg Smasher]. The Shadow Hawk is terrible all around; with the 3025 Davion model being the Hunchback IIC of Shadow Hawks.

Personally, I hate the Hatchetman, simply because while it has a hatchet, it isn't heavy enough to really make use of that hatchet.

To quote Mitchell and Webb

The Atlas is a bit too bricky for me. Far too ugly (not in the good way) and unimaginative looking. It performs well, yes, but it's not fun.
