I remember the 45 ton Panther being good in the "Paper Days"...Lord's Light PPC and Jump Jets...
Throwing that out there.

Really only the ON1-K has the same layout as the Atlas

The other ones are quite different... Last I checked the Atlas doesn't have missiles in it's arms.

Show me the variants which are era apropriate and don't have the same/ less hardpoints.

And neither does Orion. It is an art mistake.

[Adridos]

Curse those TRO upgrades... originally, it was a 3052 variant along with MA.

[Odanan]

Orion FTW!

BTW, I fixed the number of the Medium Lasers on the Kerensky's Orion left arm.

Champion... this one has good potential.

Definitely! It's similar to the Dragon (speed, loadout). The Champ is still my favorite IS heavy mech, but i hope that we see something in the missing 75 ton class. Most ppl already said it. The Orion is a good and solid choice with many variants + hero bonus. If not, there is still a lightbulb mech that looks like a Knight. Damn...i've forget its name!

[Adridos]

And still there are so many great mechs that would be undoubtly better for the place...

Screw old design, screw the Macross ones, just give me a Thunderbolt or similar to the game.

[Odanan]

Thunderbolt!!



But seriously, the TB is one of the reseens that actually looks good. Why can't we just have the reseens?

[Odanan]

(maybe the devs want to buy some time before the clanners?)

[Odanan]

Have you noticed that most unseen were "replaced" by similar mechs through BT history?

Rifleman = JagerMech
Locust = Cicada
Marauder = Cataphract
Thunderbolt = Orion
...

[ManDaisy]

Maurauder will always have its place. Nothing can replace the Maurader.

Soon in game:
Stalker (December or January), Trebuchet, JagerMech...

Q: 60%...closer to 70% (if you count half the "I don't care votes"), voted in favor of prioritizing the Highlander ahead of other mechs...especially over the flea. Any chance this will happen? Seem like good marketing to get the most favored mechs in game ASAP. [Onyx Rain]
A: Without being too specific, our priorities for release aren't the same as the order we released the concept art in. [Garth]

Just thought I'd point that out.

Until now they've been following the announcement order. Well, except for the Centurion, I think.

And the Highlander? Oh no... I secretly hopped this mech was delayed, not anticipated.

He's pointing out you had forgotten to include Spider in between the Stalker and Trebuchet.

I know it wasn't released after them, but you can clearly see they are palnning to add him once they're done with the Stalker (at least in that schedule thread).

You mean this one? Oh, I missed that. Thanks.

[Morang]

Not today, again? I wasn't hoping for 2 weeks, but it's 3 weeks since BlackJack!

[CodeNameValtus]

I thought first clan mech wouldn't be until March of 2013. Which would make Jan/Feb both IS mechs.
My predictions would be as follows:
Jan - Thunderbolt / Shadowhawk - Shearly due to the number of variants, commonality, and it's fit as far as tonnage, and weapons loadouts.
February - Banshee - For many of the same reasons as above.

[Belorion]

Off the three week rotation now?...

Oh well, I can wait.

[Daekar]

Really hoping to see an Orion for the next one!

[JudgeDeathCZ]

Its nice they give us Spider be4 Trebuchet so I can save c-bills to buy 3 of them at once

[Odanan]

No Orion today (or any other mech)? That's disappoint.
