Shadow Hawk, Battlemaster, Griffon, Wolverine, Thunderbolt and Scorpion were the mechs involved in the Harmony Gold lawsuits.

Wasp, Stinger, Phoenix Hawk, Rifleman, Crusader, Archer, Warhammer, and Marauder were the mechs involved in the Macross lawsuits.

Can they go there or are those mechs off the table? Will they avoid them to avoid potential future problems?

That first list are the Reseen so it should be possible to get them into the game. http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Reseen

Cool. Sarna.net has complete lists of the Unseen and Reseen. Thanks for pointing that out.

Reading the unseen posting, it sorta looks like we will only be able to get Rifleman and Maurader IIC (clan second line) models and not the original IS versions.

I'm at work so forgive me for not reading the whole post... Great news regarding the unseen Mechs we all have our favourites and if any Devs are taking requests an Archer or Marauder would be nice, give me both and I will have your babies not an easy thing for a bloke in his 40's.

Anyway moving swiftly on, I was wondering if any plans were in place for Aero Mechs or NPC Ground Vehicles such as Tanks, Coolent Trucks or mobile Command Centres. At the moment the game seems to be about arena combat but adding these elements could open a whole new door to mission objective game play.

My second question are we going to get the ability to start slugging it out. I'm talking stab stab, chop chop or in none Team Fortress Speak.... Melee Weapons or Death from Above Jump Jet Attacks.

THE CLANS ?
It looked to me first time round that the Clans was an attempt to inject new life into the franchise and to some extent it worked. But if you do that, pretty much all the existing kit in game becomes extinct and we all end up piloting OMNI's. Some may argue that the game is already too flexible the original line up had the Hunchback with an AC20 but only 3 or 5 rounds for it. Yes, it could tear your face off but amo storage balanced the fire power. I think we have enough toys in the toy box lets leave the Transformers in their box's for know.

Grits teeth, hides behind obstruction and waits for forum barrage of Multiple LRM's from members who want the Vulture... ( me included, but my will is strong ).

*except for the Reseen. I still hope they will add at some point the reseen mechs. Alex Iglesias could make so terrific concept arts for these babes that we would forget for good the unseen designs. What would you say if you got the original mechs (Warhammer, Marauder, Rifleman, Battlemaster, Wolverine, etc.) in the game? I would say: "Shut up and take my money, PGI".

I'd pay another $120 just for that one.

[John Clavell]

I don't expect to see Clan mech concepts until 2-3rd quarter 2013.

You are probably right...

[LazDude2012]

You know the Battlemaster isn't unseen anymore, right? Heck, it's all over the covers of Total Warfare and TechManual, and the new Box Set. Battlemaster is a viable option, and (i know, burn me at the stake) I like the new design better. Looks a bit less, what's the term?, ridiculous? It's an awesome mech, and now it looks great too!

Cool.
But I don't know if PGI will take any risks (these copy write agreements were always tricky).

Anyway, I wish MWO will have eventually the reseen (by Alex Iglesias).

[Cerebelli]

I kind of want to see the Element implemented into the game. That could be really interesting, or disastrous depending on how it's done.

[Dervim]

Darn I do so want to get my hands on Battlemaster

[Odanan]

Thats it.... there is something strange in the absence of the #16 mech...

[LazDude2012]

Maybe there won't be a #16 until after open beta? (hopefully kinda soon)
