"The Snow Crab" - My all white 000 with a 340, AC20's, 2ML and lots of ammo. I love mechs that are designed around the AC20, and being able to have two of them without making any real sacrifices is great. 4G is a close second, mostly because it was my first love and those quirks make it silly fun to play.

Banshee 3M 4xLPL, 4xSL

Honorable mentions to:

Highlander Heavy Metal 2xAC5, 2xPPC (RIP due to JJ nerfing/PPC nerfing/Power Creep)
Griffin 3M LRM15, 3xLRM5, ERLL (RIP due to LRM 5 ghost heat)

I don't currently have one, but I used to obsessively drop in the Catapult K2 for a really long time before all the Phoenix Mechs were purchasable in-game. I definitely play the Orion chassis the most nowadays, but none of my Mechs really stand out above all the rest currently.

[Blackfang]

It's not very competitive but I love my VND-1X, will take that badboy out every time if I could.

Honourable mentions: HBK-4G(F), RVN-3L, SDR-5D, CPLT-C1(F)

If you find me in competitive drops chances are I'll be running the RVN or SDR.

If you don't mind, what is your Vindicator 1X load out? I can't find one I like. I'm currently running a PPC and an A/C5 with a XL235. Don't care much for it.

[Tyler Durden]

That would have to be the Catapult C1(F), aka "Marla". We commit atrocities on the field together.

[GreyNovember]

Started as a Purple 3L that packed 2ML, 2SRM6 and ECM. Would play like a true support light and stick to my fatties immediately as the match started, and dove in at open components, hoping the RNG gods of SRMs would let my alpha fly true.

Then the Huginn got it's quirks. I picked one up, took it out for a spin, and I've been on it ever since.

SQUAWK I SAY!

[Hugh Fairgrove]

I use to run my BJ-1DC like it was going out of style. Had over a 2 k/d with that baby. Ran the VTR-9S and 9B quite a bit as well.

Though I got to admitt my first mech and the one I had the most fun to this day in is my Founders Hunchie.

Not sure how they might hold up now though, havent been on in awhile. Lookin at picking up the Resistance package and the Urbie pack so I might jump in and start playing again.

[Steinar Bergstol]

The guys I've been playing regularlywith the last couple of years would probably tell you that my mechs are the Thunderbolt and the Dragon, with Stalker and Griffin coming in closely behind those.

Lately I have spent little time in them though. Been busy grinding Cataphracts, King Crabs and Vindicators.

For quite a long time, my iconic mech was my brawler Misery, with: AC20, LPL, 4 ML, and an aSRM6.

However, since the beginning of the invasion, I would have to say either the Dire Wolf, or my Mad Dog prime

Edit: I would have to say my play style is that of a Mad Dog pilot: Sit at the edge of the main conflict and soften the enmy with LRMs before swooping in with lasers.

[Impossible Wasabi]

The Space Pope prefers mechs that are light, fast and those that have some firepower to smack other mechs with.

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

TBT-7K with 2 PPC + AC5 or ER PPC + Gauss

CN9-AH with AC20 + 2 SRM4:s

[Flyby215]

Fun topic. I don't recognize everyone's name, but the few I do (Bishop, Xiomburg, Mallan, McGral) they certainly do have their signature mechs that, if I were a betting man, would place money on exactly what mech they are piloting at any given time.

Those who run into me on a frequent basis know exactly what my baby is:

Early on in CW I was including Stalkers in my drop decks.

We prepared for a slow push wave and I was in this

http://mwo.smurfy-ne...4c33372d90032fc


The defending enemy 12 man (a unit that always plays well vs. us) surprised us with a light zerg rush (because: defenders).


I killed 6 light mechs in that wave, with that Misery.


Apparently AC 20s and LPLs solve "invincible hitbox" issues.



(I've since dropped the MPL, added another heatsink and more ammo - but unfortunately rarely bring the Misery. It's just a touch too slow for our strat these days)

[Aethon]

You will see me piloting my Nova more than anything else; a runner-up would be my Kit Fox.

[Mindwipe]

I would guess the Jenner with over 1500 drops between the models, most on the F. Lately I prefer the Locust 3M, even more speed, good firepower, and you get that 'One more hit and I'm dead' feeling from the second Betty says "All Systems Nominal". Keeps you sharp that way!

[Nothing Whatsoever]

I dunno if I have a signature mech. Going by most matches played in a Chassis, I could say Commandos, with Atlas and Jagers a close second and third maybe.

The COM-1B was my first buy in MWO, well before the Cadet bonus, and it was grind! I've probably been in Commandos the most, with over ~480 matches; followed by Atlas (~471) and Jagers (~470) out of at least ~6916 matches played so far since I started.

[Wrathful Scythe]

Direwolf.
Love it since its release. I don't care if I'm slower than everyone else because everyone shys away if he sees me. The only thing standing up to my Direwolf is another Direwolf (and occasionaly some crabs, too). Shredding people with 6 UAC/5's is a whole lot of fun and doing >70 dmg with one alpha is just amazing.
Direwolf all day, every day.

But, to be honest, my Catapult-K2 has still the longest playtime of all my mechs.

[Dino Might]

Been playing too much CW and assorted Mech-kémon grinding to really say the past couple of months have found me playing one particular mech, but I'd have to say the most memorable and exciting games that I have had are in the little guy I sport in my signature (note: the chassis, not the specific build that is currently there). I frequently try to convince people that it is comp worthy, and I will champion its cause until the end of MWO.

If I had to give up all other mechs and keep only one, that would be the one I keep.
