Here's my number one choice:

Javelin.

Runners up include the Cyclops (for both aesthetic and nostalgic reasons) and the Annihilator (because of how brutally amazing this mech will be).

I would love to see the Black Knight and the Matar.

The Black Knight because it's the Inner Spheres Nova Cat - loads of energy hardpoints.

The Matar because it's a nasty 110 ton mech, has lots of ballistics and energy hardpoints, low profile, ECM, and looks a little like the Bushwacker (even though it predates the Bushwacker by centuries).

The Matar has it's Clan counter-part the Stone Rhino which would be cool to see.

My personal wish? The Talos, cause its like a more badass and buff version of the Clans' Kit Fox. Sadly it has no Variants, as the standard variant was just kept up to date instead of new variants being created... =\

IS : Some SLDF era mechs would be cool !
Firefly
Crab
Champion
Cyclops

Clan :
I know they don't have necessarily 3 variants but I'd like to see some IIC mechs start to make their way into the game. One Idea could be to tie in their skill efficiencies to their IS counter part or simply to create variants for them.

Yes, its out of the timeline currently...sadly...3085. The deimos is my favorite mech since its introduction and I honestly cannot wait to see if it comes to MWO, however I think the Deimos is Mektek original so I'm not sure if they'd need permission from Mektek or not to use it.

Oh, and they're Ultra AC/2s, definitely a difference. ;)

Mauler (We don't give a **** if it doesn't have 3 variants, we can suggest em)
Axeman (i would pay 40 bucks if they included melee combat in the update with this mech
Arctic Cheetah (the clans need a viable mech, and this thing is basicly the clan version of the spider)

Any of these i would buy in a pack.

Actually I'd say it's the Clan version of the Firestarter, because it actually carries firepower and good hardpoints on most variants. Spiders generally do not, which makes them different from the Cheetah.

So many mechs getting tossed around in this thread, but it makes me sad there's no love for the Mongoose.

Posted Image

25 ton energy based fast light mech and it has a really unique look to it. May be considered extinct but so was the King Crab wasn't it? Think it could make a fun alternative to the Commando.

Pretty much everything else I would suggest has already been suggested.

The Crab! Following PGI's current rules for ECM, the Crab has a future variant with ECM so it could also have a current variant with ECM, giving the IS a frontline ECM mech a la Hellbringer.

Additionally, quirks could be used to really shake up the variants (as they're all pretty similar admittedly... Do you want the Crab with 2LL, 2ERLL, 2LPL or the Jumping Crab?)

couple things guys-
as of 3050 the mauler only has 2 variants unless they want to fudge the timeline, so it is a nogo,

Second, all macross related mechs are not going to happen while harmony gold is around, SO STOP ASKING FOR-
.MARAUDER
.WARHAMMER
.PHOENIX HAWK
.RIFLEMAN
.ARCHER
.CRUSADER
.GRAND CRUSADER
.WASP
.STINGER
.OSTROC
etc...

Limiting ourselves to the current time and removing all Harmony Gold mechs leaves us with dwindling choices. I would like to see the timeline advanced.



Good news for you both. HG is not actively preventing, or in any way discouraging PGI or any interested parties from negotiating to secure the intellectual property rights of use. in fact HG and other stake-holders in I.P. want PGI and others to do so, they are businesses and as such they want their properties to create revenue, not be left fallow and gather dust solely to spite battletech fans.

Only you can stop conspiracy nutters.
