Wasp needs to be in there. It is a Battletech original.

Sorry, Wasp is unseen.

I would love to see a Zeus but I think a Banshee or Cyclops is next - either way my money is on an assault mech next

[Noodlesoup]

i'd like to see the crusader make an appearance. and FWIW the Blackjack fulfills a very different tactical role than the Jagermech as it has jumpjets and later on has omni status. Jagermechs were anti-aerospace designs.

[IcePho3nix]

It's unfortunate that the Mauler's variants aren't particularly different from the stock, at least in terms of hardpoints. I'm a very big fan of the mech, and it fits the timeline, but I guess the chance of seeing it is pretty slim. Bummer.

The Crusader is Unseen, and considering the devs chose not to add any Unseen/Reseen so far, I find it hard to appear.

About the Blackjack, it can perform a different role, yes. But I have a little impression the first batch of IS designs is going to end up soon. Maybe this next Assault (Cyclops, Victor, Banshee or Zeus) will be the last.

What's next? Well, the Clans are at our doorsteps...

[Sebastian Thrawn]

the zeus is next, i bet

It will be an Assault with speed 4, guaranteed. So, Cyclops, Banshee, Victor or Zeus.

Wolfhound in gods name Wolfhound. I would take a Zeus too tho.

I don't know anything about Battletech, but is there a possibility of them adding the Mauler?

A possibility? Yes. But it's unlikely.

[Phoenix Branson]

Odanan, do you think they might add the Annihilator? Currently, we do not have an assault mech with alot of Ballistic hardpoints. Using 4 x LB-X Autocannon/10s on the Annhilator would be sweet as hell. And if the Annihilator doesn't make it, what about the King Crab with its two Autocannon/20s? Mechwarrior Online needs more mechs with ballistic hardpoints!

Why is the king Crab unlikely?Alex Iglesias did a redesign of it and when asked about on facebook a representative replied that they were fighting to get it in.

Next mech is Urbanzeuscat

Annihilator is Wolf Dragoons only and the King Crab is kind of restricted to Comstar in the current timeline. That's why they are probably not going to appear.

So here is me putting all chips on the table. You need to read this.

[Hawk819]

I'd love to see a Zeus or a Victor.

We have now seen the Atlas, Catapult, Hunchbak, Jenner, Dragon, and Commando in action. So I guess the Centurion is probably in as well, but I don't think we've seen that one yet. Can't wait to see the Awesome.

pretty sure there was an awesome in the caustic valley video.

Nice spotting!

There is an interesting theory here.
