Ok, I have purchased the W3 and R2 top tier packs. I do not foresee any more packs that I will be compelled to buy (no more mechs I am interested in or those that I am are not available because reasons).

Unseen pack
Melee pack
IIC pack

I hope for more maps/modes now and a better integration of CW. IDK, they might surprise me.

The packs I'm looking forward:

Clan Wave IV (Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf favorites. Timeline: 3052):

- Light: Fire Falcon (or a MASC-less Fire Moth)
- Medium: Black Lanner (or Viper, or Phantom, or Pouncer, or Huntsman)
- Heavy: Night Gyr (or Linebacker)
- Assault: Turkina
Reinforcement/Reward: [any listed medium mech not yet included]


Clan Second Line Garrison Pack (early Clan non-omni mechs - most need extra variants):

- Light: Piranha
- Medium: Conjurer/Hellhound
- Heavy: Grizzly
- Assault: Kodiak
Reinforcements/Reward: Supernova


Clan Wave V (later omnimechs. Timeline: 3060):

- Light: Hellion
- Medium: Mongrel/Grendel (or Viper, or Phantom, or Pouncer, or Huntsman)
- Heavy: Nova Cat
- Assault: Blood Asp
Reinforcement/Reward: [any listed medium mech not yet included]


Melee Pack (after adding melee weapons. Timeline: ~3060):

- Light: Scarabus (needs extra variants)
- Medium: Hatchetman
- Heavy: Axman
- Assault: Berserker
Reinforcement/Reward: No-Dachi.


Vengeance Revenge Pack (with IS mechs from the Mechwarrior 4 series. Timeline: ~3064):

- Light: Osiris
- Medium: Uziel
- Heavy: Argus (or Thanatos)
- Assault: Fafnir
Reinforcements/Reward: Hellspawn, Chimera


Project Phoenix II:

- Light: Wasp (or Stinger, or Valkyrie)
- Medium: Phoenix Hawk
- Heavy: Marauder
- Assault: Longbow
Reinforcements/Reward: Warhammer, Archer, Crusader, Rifleman

At least Clan Waves IV and V I would instantly buy top tier. Probably Phoenix II and Melee pack too.

-wrong thread-

Edit: To at least post on topic, i'm still hopeful for a Vulcan and maybe an Annihilator.

I'd love the Hatchetman and Axman, but i'm doubtful that PGI has the ability to implement melee weaponry in a fun and balanced way.

I second that. Some of the few IS mechs in the current timeline I'm looking forward to see in the game.

Even if it was an IS mech, I would buy the Annihilator just because. Such an awesome mech.

Wonder if they would be getting the same reaction if it was the Thorn instead of the Flea?

No, because it's not a chicken-walker.

No, but I will consider a Hornet even though it isn't a chicken-walker, either:

It was taken from the FAQ in the beginning, unless it changed later.

I've finally found the time to do it.

After all my mech-related infographic files corrupted.
I've finally got round to redoing the stuff.

After updating my signature image:

I'm now working on the All-Mechs scale images, which should be complete tomorrow!

I didn't preorder them.

I kinda want them, but not enough to splurge another US$40 on them, especially with how little variety there was.
I very nearly didn't go for the Crab Level, and just Wolfhound it, but~
I'll pick them up for C-Bills next year sometime.

Wow, you do own a lot of mechs... all the Clan omnimechs, I suppose.
So, which ones are your preferred?

Mostly, the one pictured in each (and bolded in the list of variants I own) is my preferred variant of each chasis.
(That said, if we can soon put regular camo on Special variants, I'll quite probably buy the unlock for that camo spec, and put the Lotus Blossom scheme on my Dire Wolf Prime, for that sweet, sweet C-Bill bonus. :P)

As to overall favourites.
All Locusts, especially the 1M. My favourite mech of all. I've bought 2 Camo Unlocks, and am kitting every one with XL's and modules. (I'm mad I know).

After that, my Kit Fox, Adder, Firebrand, Mad Dog, Spider are most played
Then The Direwolf and Urbs.
The Catapult used to be on the list, but has got left behind.

The Cauldron Born will almost definately go on that list, as before the Locust it was my favourite mech of all for a long time.
