Sure, the Unseen have tons of (cool) variants.

BTW, updated the table with corrected values and more info.

The Zeus entry is currently missing the ZEU-9S-DC (command console variant introduced in 3049; standard engine and structure, FF armor and DHS, Tech Level 2 weapons).
Master Unit List entry
BTE page (with record sheet)

Yeah this would be the variant that would most likely have ECM if the Zeus was mech# 20, but I gotta say the load out doesn't seem very efficient. It looks like it would run extremely hot like all the Awesomes. With that said it definitely has some direct fire support potential.

Also, is it worthwhile for the Oda's table to include potential canon Hero 'Mechs for the chassis listed?

For example:
BNC-3S Banshee (Reinesblatt)
MUL entry
BTE page
(Yes, it has a hatchet; it can be decorative/non-functional until the Devs add melee.)

VTR-xx Victor (Li)
MUL entry
BTE page

ZEU-xx Zeus "Skokomish"
piloted by MechWarrior "Stealth"
Described on page 160 of TRO 3039
Loadout not described - free reign for PGI

CGR-SB Charger "Challenger"
created by Chief Tech Stuart Bell of the Hat-in-the-Ring Battalion
MUL entry
BTE page

CP-xx-x-DC Cyclops [Ariana]
piloted by Ariana Winston (CO of the Eridani Light Horse as of 3045 (until her death in 3060))
known to be equipped with a Command Console (potentially a CP-10-Z-DC or CP-11-A-DC variant, or based thereupon)
full loadout not described - free reign to PGI

Charger "Number Seven".

Quote

MechWarrior Terry Ford Considered "the luckiest MechWarrior in the Successor States", Ford has survived the most appalling battles without so much as a scratch. Serving with the Illician Lancers mercenary regiment, Ford literally drips with rabbits' feet, lucky charms, and mystical tokens. His Charger, the Number Seven, is also decorated with horseshoes and four-leaf clovers. If Ford leads a charmed life, he needs one. Number Seven has taken numerous hits that would have destroyed any other 'Mech. Although its light lasers have been upgraded, its firepower is still low and its actuator system badly in need of service. Ford refuses to let anyone else touch his 'Mech, as "it would ruin his luck." Terry Ford's maintenance skills are somewhat deficient, however, and that may result in his legendary luck soon running out.

Victor "Li", with 10 medium lasers in his Right Arm would be impressive.

So the CGR-SB is a custom mech?... hmm better to remove it from the table.

This, I would not mind one bit!

[Joe Mallad]

Being Alex did all these mech concepts a while ago, any of these could still show up at some point in the game. And I'd be ok with all of them.

CoC violation, quote cleanup.

Well we can see the Jagermech didn't fall far from the concept art:



But what really gets me is:
(Vindicator)

(Whitworth)


A taste of things to come?

I would think not considering that only two of those have been announced or are already in game...

Blame Alex, he drew it lol.

[Dakkath]

I did like it. Can you just take out the F-bombs, and re-post?

I can't believe I put that image here without minding how offensive the F word could be. I guess that's because English is not my primary language (silly foreigner). I'm not the cursing type, you know...

Really sorry, Moderators and members.

PS: my first though when the picture was redacted was "Man, did I guess the #20 mech and made public some confidential image?"

I LOVE the Victor!

[SgtMagor]

I enjoyed using the Victor in Mw4 would be kewl to see it again. but I Still would prefer the Banshee to show up first, or if possible the same time

Guys, the Victor's nice and good, but we already have the Highlander.

The VTR-9A1 has the (previously described) capacity to be the "ballistics assault" that the Highlander simply cannot be; the former's AC/20 (Right Arm) and dual Machine Guns (one in each leg in TT, likely moved to each side torso for MWO - exactly what was done for the CDA-3C) guarantee three ballistic hardpoints, and the likely placement (described above) of the VTR-9A1's ballistic harcpoints would allow for far more varied loadouts than would be possible with the HGN's Centurion-esque single ballistics-laden arm arrangement.

That the VTR-9A1 is also jump-capable would just put the HGN to shame as a "ballistics assault".
