It would actually be a logical addition. Unique in a serious way, slow even if we gave it a generous engine cap, but balanced with something like 360 deg fast torso twist. Could actually make a decent brawler (assuming raised engine cap allowing it to make some decent speed).

You would like too much. Probably none of these mechs will be in MWO.

Aw, don't rain too hard on the kid's parade. We might get one of those.

Maybe.

Anyone potentially interested in the Mongoose light mech?

Has it been considered before?

Has the correct number of variants, fits the timeline, looks pretty cool (subjective I guess)

That's the one. Do want.

Would take this over the Urbie or Firestarter (close running with the Firestarter though).

Apart from Zeus, I certainly hope to have any of these mechs (Lots of Xin sheng mechs!) to appear but then...

Sha Yu (Not available in this timeline, yet)
Starslayer (I don't think there are enough variants)
Huron Warrior (Not available in this timeline, yet)
Uziel (Not available in this timeline, yet)
Men Shen (Not available in this timeline, yet)

Penetrator (Not available in this timeline, yet)

Zeus
Mauler (Not enough variants)
Devastator (Not enough variants)

For me,

I would like to see both the vindicator

and the Emperor at some point :P

Well, except for one variant with a SRM-2, all other variants are laser-only, which is pretty boring. Besides, I don't think PGI would create the Death's Knell to make it obsolete in a second moment.

PS: Mongoose is a great TT mech, but it wouldn't add much to a game already with the Jenner.

at some basic point, new mechs aren't going "to add much" anyhow. Only 3 classes of weapons, to have JJs or not to have JJs, and then number of hardpoints. Sorta limited to overall differences. It's really going to come down to module slots, quirks and basic stats like twist rate and arm reflex to differentiate mechs, basically tuning to what works best for your playstyle, so can't really say I am too worried about what a mech "adds" or "brings", anymore.

whats really going to make a difference in mechs is when melee is added to the game, and collision.

Remember when I posted that FD's Timberwolf and said it was still WIP?

Well, it turns out they meant it seriously... really seriously.

P.S: That Banshee could be a great hint at what's to come guys, since now it clearly resembles a MW:O design and well, it wouldn't be the first time we've got a sneak peek like that.

been waiting what seems like a long time, hoping for the Banshee to show up. Assaults could use this ground pounder to keep the ankle biters, and quick strikers away from the heavy hitters :)

Im aware the majority of mechs i mentioned i wanted in MWO previosuly were later in the battletech timeline but, they are the ones i would like to see (at least one/some off) later on. Hopefully this game will be arround for a while. Also the above pic reminded me.. the Rakshasa.
