The wasp is a macross valkyrie, so no it's off the table, plese note the list of disputed HG macross designs on page 9

[0rionsbane]

a few other light metes and one ultralight that wouldn't really work but w/e

Mercury (probably to fast and has masc)
The Mercury carries an assortment of energy weapons which helps to extend its endurance on long campaigns. The primary weapons are the two Martell Medium Lasers in the right arm and left torso. The right arm laser's power supply is spread across the length of the whole arm with multiple redundant systems, while the torso mount is clustered tightly in one area to decrease the chance of a penetrative hit damaging the system. These are supported by two Hessen Small Lasers in the center torso and head and feature the revolutionary modular replacement system. Using 'plug and fight' technology the lasers are bolted down and connected by wiring to the power feeds and cooling system in three places. If any part of the weapon is damaged or destroyed technicians can replace the entire system in minutes, cutting back countless man-hours of repair and maintenance.^[7][1]
The heart of the Mercury is its MASC System which, in combination with a LVT 160 fusion engine, allows for momentary bursts of speed up to 172 km/h. Though long-term use can damage the actuators these bursts can be the difference between life or death in some cases. They also make up for the fact that the 'Mech lacks any jump jets while three tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor gives it superior protection to other 20-ton 'Mechs.^[7][1]

• MCY-97 This variant of the Mercury was created by ComStar in 3049 for recon duties. The armor, engine and MASC system are kept and one medium laser and one small laser have been dropped in favor of a Beagle Active Probe, giving the MCY-97 Mercury superior enemy detection capabilities at the cost of half of its firepower. Though an excellent scout this variant was largely discarded after the Battle of Tukayyid on account of insufficient firepower.^[7] BV (1.0) = 380,^[8] BV (2.0) = 466^[9]

• MCY-98 This variant of the Mercury is the downgraded version introduced during the Succession Wars in 2810. While it retains the same armament and engine of the original, the primary changes in the 'Mech is its armor, using standard armor in place of Ferro-Fibrous, and the MASC system, which has been removed to allow for the armor to be one ton heavier. These changes lower its maximum speed to 129.6 km/h and slightly increases the overall armor protection. It also featured a Datacom communication system and Scarborough Track targeting system.^[5] BV (1.0) = 484^[10], BV (2.0) = 553^{[citation needed]} Snow Fox (a quadruped)
  Armed with only a head-mounted Series 2f ER Medium Laser and a pair of Series 1-s ER Smalls, the Snow Fox excels at making high-speed passes. Though the 'Mech uses standard heat sinks, it takes an extremely bad pilot to cause the Snow Fox any overheating problems.^[1]
  Variants
  
• Snow Fox 2 The only known variant of the Snow Fox introduced 3015^[3] during the Succession Wars era or Golden Century. This variant replaces the lasers with an LRM-10, creating a very mobile support 'Mech. It is also incapable of building any noticeable amount of heat before it starts taking damage. BV (1.0) = 484^[4], BV (2.0) = 604^[6]
  
• Snow Fox 3 A Jihad era variant introduced 3072^[3], this design makes room for improvements by replacing the standard fusion engine with a XL Model. Improvements to the design include a increase speed of the 'mech and armor. Its weaponry include ER Medium Laser, a ATM 3 Launcher with 2 tons of ammunition, and pair of AP Gauss Rifles with ton of ammunition dedicated to them. BV (2.0) = 903^{[ and the stinger The Stinger carried a light weapons load, with an Omicron 3000 Medium Laser as its primary weapon. The laser was backed up by two LFN Linbald Machine Guns. [9] [10] [4]}
  
• STG-3G The 3G Stinger traded the two Machine Guns for a second Medium Laser. While this variant increased the Stinger's lethality against other 'Mechs, it also made heat management a little more complicated for less experienced MechWarriors. ^{[9] [4] [11]} BV (1.0) = 438,^[6] BV (2.0) = 497^[12][13]
  
• STG-3Gb The Royal Stinger used a XL Engine and Endo Steel chassis, to be able to mount a battery of three Medium Lasers, and one Small Laser. The heat-sinks were upgraded to Double Heat Sinks and the speed and jumping distance of the 'Mech were also been improved slightly. ^[14] BV (2.0) = 674^[15] finally one that would not work at all (mwo wont let you launch with out weapons)
  Celerity
  
  The lightweight Celerity is built on an Endo Steel frame and is powered by a massive 240 rated XXL Fusion Engine, the bulky engine making the animalistic drone capable of high-speed sprints, further enhanced by the addition of MASC to make it among the fastest ground units in existence.^[3]
  While not mounting any defensive weaponry, the Celerity's head is equipped with a Full-Head Ejection System and carries a C3i module, mitigating the drone's expendable nature while allowing the drone's data and expensive C3 system to be recovered. This is a good thing given the Celerity's sole single ton of armor and the fragile nature of its XXL Engine and XL Gyro, even a single skid following a misstep would almost cripple the design let alone combat fire on the battlefield.^[3]
  
  • CLR-03-O After the Fortress Protocols were activated, the Republic of the Sphere began experimenting with the Celerity. They created a true OmniMech version of the Celerity and used it extensively on raids across their borders in the Dark Age era. The Republic's Celerity removed the C3i system and replaced it with OmniPod space. The Republic's primary Celerity version carries a C3 Slave and TAG. BV (2.0) = 187^[4]
• Alternate Configuration A The Celerity A carries two Clan-spec Improved One Shot SRM-6 launchers. BV (2.0) = 275^[5]
  
• Alternate Configuration B The Celerity B uses an Angel ECM Suite to disrupt enemy electronics systems. BV (2.0) = 339^[6]
  
• Alternate Configuration C This configuration is a scouting model, carrying a Remote Sensor Dispenser and a Beagle Active Probe. BV (2.0) = 202^[7]
  
• Alternate Configuration D This configuration is equipped with two ER Flamers. BV (2.0) = 304^[8]
  
• Alternate Configuration E The Celerity E carries an ER Medium Laser and an Improved Heavy Medium Laser, both built to Clan specifications. BV (2.0) = 919^[9]

Mods, Please Pin a topic to the top of the general board that says "STOP ASKING ABOUT THE MARAUDER, WARHAMMER, or ARCHER!"

no, screw you, I want my Marauder, Wasp, Archer, Warhammer, Marauder II, Phoenix Hawk, Ostscout, and Oststol!

I don't care if they look different these mechs are iconic to BT and deserve to be in Mechwarrior, even if not in their "iconic" form, they are still important. So no, we should beable to request these, and we should, frankly, get some form of them in the game.

that video makes me regret everything, just everything ever.

The Art team will probably quit if they have to make the Firemoth.

Methinks the Brody doth protest too much. C'mon, just admit it. It's your fantasy to see teams of 12 v 12 entirely composed of Firemoths. This is a zone of safety, no one here will judge you if you want to sell every mech you have just so you can have enough mech bays for one Firemoth of every color in the rainbow and day of the week.

[TripleEhBeef]

I'd be down for either the Crab or the Vulcan.

The Crab would be another good trooper medium, and the art team could make it look badass.

The Vulcan would be a nice alternative to the Cicada, and could make a pretty decent light hunter.

oooooh Hatamoto!
Now ya did it....I have to re-read "Hearts Of Chaos" again for the 5th time!

The Lancelot would be an excellent mech. High mounted hardpoints like a jager would make it very viable.

Komodo - 45 T ECM mech with about ten energy mounts and dual AMS

edit: This forum can DIAF. Worst forum evar, if you are using IE.

I could get behind that. Equip it with an ECM, 10 SPLs, and the largest engine you can fit - might be worth taking for spin.

If you don't care about their iconic form, then just use a similar tonnage mech and name your mech the same thing. For instance, you can call a Locust a Wasp, You can make a Cataphract into a reasonable Marauder.

Telling someone to screw themselves that you want your Unseens, but you don't care what they look like is not cool. Especially when they're just trying to help you out with some knowledge they thought you might not share.

I myself want the Unseens, but I very much do care what they look like, other wise they AREN'T iconic, they're do overs, and you can make do as well.

[C E Dwyer]

This is a list of the only mech I will, spend R.L. money on and that includes buying mech bays

Cyclops
Charger
Dervish
Whitworth
Vulcan
Hermes II
Clint
Assassin

I would buy the Hatchetman But it hasn't three variants in the time line currently

The other mechs I'd have any other interest in are either quads or licienced to Harmony Gold

Another problem is it might be impossible for those names to be even green-lit by HG no matter what they look like.

You could make a Marauder look totally different, but if it's a robot with 2 legs, that might be enough for HG to vote no and threaten a lawsuit if it's made.

Even if HG had no leg to stand on, PGI is not going to tempt legal action. I would assume those mechs may never get made as long as HG can prevent it.

HG doesnt want to get space rich? COuld they not just take a portion of the sales made off those mechs? Im sure every body and their cat would buy like 6 of each just because.....

Thats the problem. for most companies they would be happy to do it for a cut of the profits because they have to do litterally nothing and make money.

however HG would rather protect its IP (which is used legal methods to largely steal from the Japanese parent company) than make money.

My dearest sir, I believe you are missing one often requested Mauler.

Error. Insufficient variants.
Only 1 available in this timeline. The next one, MAL-C not available until 3051.

The next one isn't available until 3060.

Then again, I guess winning a court case makes more money then selling the rights to the mech.....maybe the HG CEO is a Debate Class king from High School and he just like to argue stuff and likes sitting in court....maybe its a weird fetish of his..

[Malleus011]

Wolfhound
Hatchetman
Axeman
Caesar (as an add-on to the Cataphract tree)

The IS really needs a wider selection of 70 and 75 ton heavies.

And the Dracs should probably get their Hatamato.

And of course the remaining Unseen. They might be tied up with HG, but the demand is there. However they have to be brought in will work for me.
