not completely true... the prototype would currently be having issues that will not be solved till they can get their hands on a Mad Dog, and look at how the Mad Dog has it's sheilding on the reactor set up...

According to Sarna and the TRO:

The Bushwacker's unique design caused problems with the engine shielding, the side-effects of which manifested themselves as various gremlins in the 'Mech's on board electronics on the prototypes fielded during the Clan Invasion. The 'Mech was redesigned after schematics for an OmniMech known as the Vulture were captured during a raid into Clan territory. Information gleaned from the schematics was used to overcome the aforementioned engine shielding problems. Finding the schematics had given the Bushwacker a second lease on life.

Yup. Pretty much my guesses.

Wolfhound is unlikely, so probably Javelin.

I still wish we could get a Phoenix Hawk. Heck, make up a model and call it a Faux Hawk.

the name isn't the problem the 3025 TRO art work is the problem for the Phoenix Hawk, same for the Stinger, Wasp, War Hammer, Riflemen, Archer and Marauder...

Basically all the remaining good mechs...

[gregsolidus]

Crab maybe?

Neither does the Panther 10k. That's a 3051.

I know, but the name brings the lawyers just because they feel they have to protect the art.

Well so long as they don't call it a "Super Veritech" they should be okay on that front, and keep away from the L.A.M. version and they should be good too...

[Danghen Woolf]

What if they really sneak some mechs in...

Light: Thorn or Mercury
Medium: Hermes II or Sentinel
Heavy: Lancelot or Flashman
Assault: Devastator or Longbow

I'm calling the heavy and assault since those were the alternates on the polls, so it makes sense. The crab just goes with the king crab and makes it tempting anyway. The wolfhound is pretty much the 'opposite' mech in the Davion/Kuritan wars since the wolfhound came into existence.

Another thought is that they put the Assassin in as the medium but then add the normal Crab on if you buy the Assault version of this reinforcement wave, thus getting both the normal and king crab with the biggest of both packages.

I have to agree. It's sad the Crabs are homogeneous and variants aren't really different. They will really have to inflate one variants hard points to differentiate it. Though at least one variant has jump jets.

Wave 2?

Rifleman, Archer, Warhammer, Marauder.

Oh, whoops. I said the forbidden words again. I'll bet Harmony Gold has already sent out the Copyright Assassin Death Squad already.

If CW is any indication, we may be waiting quite some time for it. IS isn't keeping the clan out, never mind raiding into their territory.

[EvilCow]

Wolfhound, Crab, Champion.

[h0UNd]

Crusader please - because we need more lrms (ducks)

[MeiSooHaityu]

Light: Wolfhound
Medium: Bushwacker
Heavy: Champion

And an assault of some sort I don't care about lol.

[zagibu]

Javelin, ?, Black Knight, Cyclops. Only the medium mech is a mystery for me.
