Much prettier than the unseen, though.
Not all Phoenix mechs are ugly, just the best ones are (Maraduer, Warhammer, Shadow Hawk).

Trust me, if I could've found a fan design (not the fan TRO one) I would've used it instead, but sine I couldn't and I had to decide between the two, the reseen is the obvious winner.

Not all. the Reseen Marauder and Rifleman, for instance, are very good.
And I kind of prefer the Reseen Batlemaster...

But let's leave this discussion for here.

The Marauder and the Rifleman are some of the worst offenders!
Locust=good
Wasp/Stinger=passible
Valkyrie=terrible
Phoenix Hawk = decent
Shadow Hawk = meh
Wolverine = terrible
Griffrin = good
Rifleman = fat/terrible
Archer = inferior
Crusader = aweful
Longbow = terrible
Thunderbolt = great
Marauder = bad, Fan art = good
Ost series = similar/good
Battlemaster = good/similar
Warhammer = bad

i don´t care anymore....

truth is... most of us will be truly disappointed, when the next ( or last ) IS concept hits the site.
because there will be a loooong time until another Inner Sphere Mech will be announced because of the clans, which lowers the chances of getting to see "your" favorite mech on the battlefield anytime.... and those first 16 clan tincans are quite final by canon, or not?

I would agree with this statement for the most part. However, there are a few iconic and extremely popular Clan Battlemechs from the early years that come to mind. The first two being the Kodiak and the Hunchback IIC. I know there are many more but we all know these two will be included at some point and in a popularity contest I can think of few that top the Kodiak. It's unlikely but it's possible that they could be added sooner than we think.

[SgtMagor]

Kodiak is my Fav clan mech, its Big carries a big punch, it has gigantic claws and its as fast as the Banshee. if the Banshee shows up too there's gonna be rivalry between both mechs.

[Scrawny Cowboy]

Holy cow... I forgot to check in this Wednesday for an announcement. Dang it's been way too long.

i dont see them stopping on new IS mech just because the Clan mechs will be getting their release. In fact, by that time... it was already said that they plan on releasing 2 mechs at a time. (not counting hero/Champion mechs) and I can see them releasing a IS and Clan mech together each month. Whats going to end up happening is we will end up getting 4 mechs a month. 1 IS, 1 Clan, 1 Hero (Clan or IS) and 1 Champion (Clan or IS)

We can always have hope.

You mean, 2 Banshees against 1 Kodiak, right? That's more a fair fight...

(but for the sake of balance, I hope there won't be mixed IS and Clan fights* - because Clan mechs are superior in everything and nerfing all their weapons and equipment is silly)

*tough I hope there will be eventually IS team VS Clan team with some serious matchmaking system.

BTW, I know some people don't like the Banshee because no weapon will be in the arms, but if handled properly, the arms could work well as shields.

By the way, Blackjack is confirmed for May, Orion is confirmed for June.

Flea is delayed until MASC is ready to go.

Yay! So I have only 1 useless month to wait for the Orion and not two!

Sometimes I feel like the only one in the entire community who is excited for the Flea.

Too bad. I've been looking forward to it.

Ha nevermind me, I like mechs from mediums and above. The light's speed gives me the headache and I'm fine with the Cicada, whenever I want to pilot something fast. I understand that there are players that think the opposite of me and enjoy piloting lights, too bad they didn't figured out how to implement MASC yet (they should have done it with the YLW though).

The Blackjack is "meh", I'd have liked some other 55 tonner, we already have 3x 50 tons mechs and nothing in between them and the Dragon.

Take it from the good side.

It may be a delay, but it makes sure Flea won't be useless once it enters the field.

[Gryphonhawk]

Would eventually love to see the Bushwacker. Lol just went through a lot of stuff my mother had put in storage for over 17 years and lo and behold some old Mechwarrior toys a Bushwacker, a Hunchback and a banshee aerospace fighter lol.
