Orion and Zeus. The most iconic non-unseens (Seens?) besides the Atlas. Pure Battletech.

Black Knight anyone?

[Name140704]

Holy Cow we're planning for endgame 'mechs?!?! I haven't seen beginning game 'mechs played yet!

[Warlune]

I'd love to see the Mad Cat included at some point. It's my fav of all time.
Also, pilotting a Shadow Cat would be cool too
Guess I gotta wait a bit for any clan mechs

[Schtirlitz]

Omni mech with maximum universal hardpoints

+1 for R2D2. This is about the only incarnation where this lovable trashcan stands a chance...

[akaChrisHimself]

Orion and Zeus. Those guys are classic.

Since reading my first novel about the GDL my lance of dreams was a Shadow Hawk, Rifleman, Locust and Wasp. I am a little bit disappointed none of them entered the game till now

I'm sure they are coming but those are Clan mechs.

Panther or Wolfhound. All the lights so far are aimed very much at fitting in to the scout part of role warfare. It would be nice to see some more heavily armed lights that are more at countering the scouts rather than being scouts themselves. I'll see your Jenner and raise you a PPC to the face.

[Major Tom]

"endgame", we have 13 announced mechs, but only 10 at the "startgame".

I am more surprised about what did make the cut.
Cicadia - because we really needed another Jenner with lighter armor, fewer weapons, and no jump jets.
Centurian - We have a Hunchback and a Trebutchet, do we really need a HunchBucket? And how many more 50 tonners before we see 45 or 55 tons?
Cataphract - nothing inherently wrong with this mech other than, it is not an Orion

These two should have been in the medium list: Dervish or Blackjack. We are also missing the Steiner staple Zeus. I have already mentioned the Orion, but here it is again.

[Vagorin]

CEASER would be really nice. PPC and some Gause rifle action... OHH MY!!!!!!

[Celldoor]

Masakari (Warhawk) works for me

The Highlander was nice. However, what happened to the King Crab? :-) That was kinda unique...

From a fluff perspective, they're not around much.

Black Knight, Highlander, King Crab. They're all SLDF mechs. Most of them went with Kerensky in the exodus. The King Crabs especially all went. The few of the above that remained were either destroyed, lost in storage somewhere, or were horded by the Com Guard. Occasionally people would find an SLDF cache somewhere and pull a few out, but for the most part they were super rare. That's why Wolf's Dragoons were such a huge deal. They showed up with all these old SLDF mechs, which they thought were total crap and would go under the radar but in fact it set off alarms everywhere. Clearly they should have held on to their Urbanmechs.

I would really like to see the Vulture and Warhammer...
