For me it's Atlas. In MW4, at least. It's a big, slow, very easy to hit target. I have no problems placing all shots on center torso (not mistakenly hitting right/left torso). As for the stock config, it feels like a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none.

an here with the giant head... theres a youtube around of one getting two shotted by a dev in the head lol

'lil Jimmy aka JM6-S JagerMech.
Twin AC/2s, twin AC/5s, twin MLs, paper-thin armour.
You thought that the Trebuchet had bad armour?
Try this one, it has only 6 tons of armour out of the 13.5 tons possible.
That's only a coverage of 45.49%!
Even the worst TBT has at least 7 tons of armour, and that's a 'Mech that's 15 tons lighter.

The weapons as well - seriously? Twin pairs of the worst autocannon classes possible? And only two medium lasers as back-up?
And for fun, they put the AC/2 ammo in the centre torso - timebomb waiting to go.
The two tons of AC/5 ammo they put in the side torsos aren't much better either.

Best thing to do with this 'mech is strip the autocannons+ammo and replace them with twin PPCs and a bunch of heat sinks, maybe up the armour as well.

Urbanmech, but i always hated the Rifleman underarmoured, under-gunned and over heating...

But, when used for its intended purpose - long range sniping and anti-aerotech... it was a brute.

I agree that in a normal game, the Jagermech sucked. But if you can have it hitting from long range while targets are held down by other forces, it was deadly.

and eh...

• 1x Large Pulse Laser
  
• 1x Medium Pulse Laser
  
• 2x ER Medium Lasers

thats all on a 70 ton - seems a little light to me

THAT should have been called a linebacker. It looks like its in the three point stance

Hatchetman or any purpose melee weapon carrier.

I'm fine with a handy tree, lamp-post, or spare limb making a one-shot club but a multi-million cBill war machine carrying an Axe just seems a little goofy.

I think it would be fun to have a melee style mech in the game... or at leats interesting not sure how it would be long term but it would make for a fun match or two.

[Outrider01]

Vulcun, 45 tonner that runs as fast and jumps as far as a Wasp, just as much armor as a Stinger, has a mixed range of weapons from anti-infantry machine gun / flamer to a medium laser and long range AC/2 that can't be used in in the range of the anti-infantry weapons (but for some reason, I am kind of attracted to the mech ).

[PoPuP]

Thge absolute worst mech ever is this one...

an UN-useable one

Exactly.
The JagerMech JM6-S is rubbish, and ugly.

As for the White Flame...
I don't agree with some of the design choices. 5/8/5 on a 70-tonner and only an LFE to compensate?
Highly inefficient.
Only way to make it worse is to give it standard autocannons...

Which happens... when?

The original 3025 Charger. An 80 ton assault mech with SLs only.

Yeah I dunno, some of the coolest and battle capable configs to come out of my mechlab were Diashi chassis- not all, but most.

Urbanmech.

How dare you dis the Urbie! The only mech to win on cute factor for fans pleading to have it in the MekTek expansion.

[Uri Brauer]

Crusader CRD-3R.

There's ammo in the left torso. There's ammo in the right torso. And there's nothing else in either location to absorb the criticals.

There's ammo in the centre torso. Two kinds!

And there are weapons in the legs. How the hell are we supposed to aim them?

I want the Unseen back. I really do. But... please... could someone do a little editing on the Crusader?

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

I'm guessing you're wanting it in the game for target practice, right???

[NotASecretAce]

The King Crab ***... what were they thinking

[Argent Tnega]

Shadowhawk - Let's put the smallest of all the weapons on a mech. OK, AC/5 instead of 2 but still Ac/5, LRM-5, SRM-2, Med Laser. 19 whole points of damage best case? All on a 55 ton mech... Fairly quick and mobile but terrible weapons.

[Outlaw]

The Quickdraw is worse than the JagerMech, at least the JagerMech has range, the Quickdraw is expected to get up close with its thin armor oh and lets not forget almost half its firepower is rear mounted. Oh and lets not forget the 1AA version of the Vindicator, 4 tons of armor? what a joke.
