So, 3 variants now and one in 5 years. That's enough for me.

variant

[ˈvɛərɪənt]

n 1.

something that differs from a standard or type

2 variants. You have to have a standard mech to have a variant from. Given this is also the same number of variants as the UrbanMech has, or one more if you count the referred to but not speced Capellan Urbie the UM-R63 counts as an upgrade to, I'm glad to hear we have your support for it's inclusion.

I hope at some point they add the Mauler make it the front cover of the game for site advertisement just like the box art for Mechwarrior 2 merc

[HANGMAN1962]

well you list the flashmen as unlikely why?
1st it was still in production in 3039.
2nd it has more then enuogh verients.
3rd its another rather iconic mech fron bt/mw histery/canon.
you all so dont even list the dervish as in the running,its in the over all list but not in your list of potentials.
it meets the same criterier as the flashmen listed above.
i'm not admonishing you for this, just asking why is all m8.

Indeed. I was not using the word right.

The problem with the Urbie is that all the 3 different "models" (standard + 2 variants) have the same hardpoints. I doubt the devs will add it, but maybe I'm wrong.

The Dervish, my medium mechs of choice in TT has 1 possible variant. The other models are post 3062. Trust me, it will not be in the game.

And the Flashman (my favorite mech on MW2M) has 3 models, all basically the same.

I'm disappointed you don't think the Zeus will make it, would have really liked to pilot that. But after watching this thread for a couple weeks and seeing you get the Jager right, I won't bet against you.

[Burnsidhe]

If I remember right, both the Flashman and the Annihilator were unique to Wolf's Dragoons at this point in time.

Thank you.
I'm a kind of game designer myself and I'm trying to understand the mind of Paul and the PGI guys. So far, I think they are pretty logical in their choices.

I think that it would be more like: you want to pilot this while being killed by an Atlas.

The Highlander is classy, killer, and we really need the option of a jumpy Assault... but I'm afraid the mech is too slow to make any practical use of the jump in the game. Just saying...

I know there is a reseen version of it but I don't know how stand the rights for the old design. Probably it is in the same gray territory of the others.

in my opinion, the reseen loks better than the unseen^^
