As to the Unseen/Reseen Mechs you will only see them in game if Piranha does all new artwork on them, which is possible. Piranha did a very good job Making all the MW/BT mechs look much nicer then they did in previous games/artwork. The Atlas now looks menacing instead of goofy and boxy. For the 16th mech which is most likely an assault I will go with:

Dream-Marauder II (I believe it has original artwork, although still very similar to the Marauder, the Wolf's Dragoons version)
Wish- Highlander
Probable- Zeus or Cyclops

Piranha could use the "new" artwork used for the Unseen.

I think 16 mech will be announced after start of open beta. And who will it be? Seems that will be an assault mech with a lot of ballistics hardpoints. Bcoz now we have rocket-base mech (Stalker), laser-base (Awesome) and universal (Atlas). So now we need mech with more ballistic hard points. Maybe it will be Annihilator.

Since, according to your projections, the next mech will be released on July 4th (America's independence day); I think the next mech should be the most American mech ever made – the AMC Javelin!


Erm... I mean, the Javelin!


Problem with this is that I think at the current time there's only the Prime variant with 2 SRM6s, and one with 1 SRM6 and 4 Med Lasers (and we've already got the Jenner). Another one comes out in the next year or so that has an SRM6 and 2 Streak SRM2s. I'd still like the prime variant though to give it a couple of LRM5s and make a light support mech.

Wasn't the javlin the one that kept falling on its face ?

Let's hope they at least close this IS mechs circle with an Assault. (there are so many cool Assaults to be added)

I think they will take some time implementing the already announced mechs, but I actually believe they will starting feeding clan rumors in a few time...

That doesn't mean we will be playing with clans anytime soon. There would probably release of the game, with all 16 IS mechs, allowing us some months of nice only-IS playing and, in the middle of next year... who knows?

Annihilator is Wolf-Dragoons only, very rare. The Victor has some variants with many ballistics hardpoints (at least 3).
Actually, the Victor has many features for being the next mech:

- several possible ballistic hardpoints;
- faster Assault mech;
- jumper assault mech;
- it's a common mech.

I dunno about the #16 mech thing but I would like to see when new maps are to be expected.

I see no reason for them to do not show us some more new mech concept arts. They have Alex Iglesias there for working on this, right?

About the maps, indeed. I would love to see some new maps. City warfare, Jungle warfare, a coastal map (with islands and stuff)...

Hollander!

or me a real boss and make it a Lumbermech
Real merc style!

[IcePho3nix]

I guess the Victor would be all right, but my fingers are still crossed in hopes of the Highlander or a redesigned Battlemaster.

[Tzeentch]

Can't sleep. Waiting for the next mech...

[SCAR ed]

shouldn't he be already revealed? or ist THIS week the mech-reveal week? I'm kinda confused.

ontopic: I would be really pleased with a Victor, even if I found him a little undergunned in the past. but it is a good looking mech with high mobilty for an assault.

for all those fearing OMNI-only-matches next year: if PGI uses some sort of BV-based matchmaking, things won't be sooo bad, I think. all thoses guys (or lads ...) wishing to pilote an OMNI can do it, but if they end up with the same BV as the rest, there mech will be noticable lighter then those of the rest. we would need to takea look at the balancing, when the clanner finally make their entrance.

[Stormwolf]

Charger, because we need a fast assault that can chase after Jenners

I still want C-Bill based matchmaking when the Clans arrive. You take your 'Mad Cat', I'll get some mates together and field 16 UrbanMechs with UAC/5's.

Give us the darth mauler!!!

You know it's going to be an assault mech
