Some folks "gotta catch them all", when it comes to mechs. Some are restless mech wanderers, Mecha-promiscuous, etc.

But a lot of people, when you think about them, are "linked" to a specific Mech. McGral18 and his Wubshee, for example, or Capper Deluxe and Centurions (as much for his siggy as anything).

When you drop in match, what mech do you teammates, or other people on the forums, in chat just automatically ASSUME you will be driving. It doesn't even have to be the mech you have the most matches in, just that you seem most associated with (for instance I have twice as many matches in Jagermechs as any other chassis, yet that's not what I tend to be associated with)

For me, I'd say it has to be hands down my HBK-4G Hunchback "Can-Opener". It helps that I think the Founders Hunchy is one of Alex's absolute best redesigns (the less said about the poor lamented faded glory of the K2, the better), and that it was my first mech in game.

What's curious, is I actually have less matches in it than I do in Shadowhawks, for instance. But I vastly prefer it, and me being in a shadowhawk doesn't seem to draw notice, but me in an HBK, almost always does at some point in the match.

(Runner up is my VND-1AA Vindicator)

On my clan acct? Gonna guess it's my stock Summoner Prime, the "Wendigo". Far from my top performer, but my absolute go to mech of choice. And folks tend to compliment it's paintjob a lot. :)

you'll see it when it comes howling out of the frozen tundra for your soul!!!!!

(it's actually not anything fancy, but seems to stand out well, maybe because it is simple)

but the white on white and angle of the torso kind of lend it a bear skull feel, IMO.

The Loup De Guerre has so many more matches than others, so it'd probably be insulted if I said anything else. Though primarily played for grinding purposes, I still think this mech is one of the most fun I have played and I still drop in it a lot. I named mine Gaul, because it's french, ferocious, and charges in like a barbarian.

A whale of sorts. I have 6 of them. Waiting for the S variant for C-bills. I just really enjoy the play style.

AS7-D Founders

3X LL
2X LBX-10
std 320
AMS (1tonne ammo)

a face wrecking beast........... can work a target from 0-900 M decently well cycle firing the 3LL, when 600M happens let loose the LBX 20 to crit inside all those panels you melted open while they ran @ you like an enraged badger/

**EDIT** And the cash bonus from founder ain't half bad either.

I'm not sure that I quite have one, but I'll have a go at some guesses.

For this account, it might well be my Awesome 8Q. With its 5 MPLs and 2 PPCs, this thing is a beast, and I've been making great use of it for the last few weekend events.

Prior to that, I did a lot of dropping in my Wolverine 7K, with 3x MLs and 3x ASRM6s.

For my Clan account, it's almost certainly my Ryoken with 3x cMPL and 4x cSPLs.
