There are so many Topics about Favourite Mechs of Clans and IS, but I'm sure that it's interesting and cool too to learn about mechs, which you hate the most. Tell please, I will start first:

I really don't like one ugly and silly robot. And it is... Daishi!

What about the Grand Titan? That thing is a massive heap! Heat problems, ammo problems, and thats after you scroll through a massive weapons list.

A Clan Mech.

[Stray Ion]

Elemental, unless everyone is in one; but then again it can be fun.

[Armored Yokai]

Urban mech and whitworth

[Stormeris]

Urbanmech... Atlas outmaneuvers it xD

[Papertarget]

Flea from MW4/Mercs. It was annoying, and had the firepower of an infantry team.

OSR-2D Ostroc, BJ-2 blackjack (the one from the first TRO 3050 that had single heat sinks), and SCP-10 Scorpion. Nothing ruins a mech faster than ER energy weapons and too few single heatsinks. That said, I am pretty sure they were supposed to be bad.

No way, are you kidding, Daishi is a scary good mech. I'm not a huge fan of the Javelin myself.

I've always hated the design of the Uziel myself.. Ugh.

Yeah, I'll ride around in a Dire Wolf if they let me.

Looking at the hard points...this might be the best 100 ton IS mech that eventually could be introduced for those that players that live in the Mechbay. I've had good luck the couple times I took a Grand Titan out to play with.

For me...Hoplite.

Non-Jumping, slow, 55 tonner that can't deal enough damage to cause a piloting check.

Urbanmech, this is why it has to be put in the game.

Of course it's powerful, but after playing MW4 i hate Daishi, because it's pretty hard target

The UrbanMech is actually pretty good at what it's supposed to do, for its price. The Charger, well, as stupid as it is, I suppose does as well, and does have a few variants which are actually worth it. The basic Vulcan, on the other hand, is a piece of junk of rarely paralleled magnitude.

I don't think there were any really "bad" mechs in the game but many of them were designed for a really narrow role. For a time I got bored with showing up with "the perfect mech" all the time and played nothing but randomly generated lances. I've used every mech in the original tech readouts multiple times. Figuring out how to use the mech as designed was the challenge.

The Urbie was crazy good in a city as long as the skidding rules were used because it wasn't fast enough to skid. Urbie couldn't move far, but it could be anywhere it needed to be inside of 3 hexes. I've seen what happens when a locust looses it and skids. I've been hit by a Charger doing what its name says it does. 80 tons charging into you from 7 hexes away HURTS.

If I had to pick one mech that I liked the least it would have to be the Assassin. Paper thin armor, small guns, and ok speed make for a real challenge in a medium mech.

IMO it does look a little funky, but It was one of my favorite mechs from MW4. Fast, jump capable, and even stock it could take out just about anything if you knew how.

The worst mech is your favorite mech!

[Riderpride]

Can't say I've ever been a fan of the Blitzkrieg design.
