That's a hard one for me... I'd have to say the Adder... I also enjoy piloting the Gargoyle too

As for IS, I would have to say the Blackjack is my favorite in game, but I also like the BushWacker.

Hard to say- my favorites are always changing.

Edit- I also need to add the Stormcrow and Mauler onto this list.

[Fang01]

Call me weird but I've always had kinda a thing for the Rakshasa (after Marauder got hidden of course)

Hoping we see one in a few years with rac5s

[S0L0DAWG]

Shadow Cat. Seeing that this was to be released got me playing again. Also believe it or not always loved the Centurian

[El Bandito]

This guy! Sleek, and murderous.

[Bill Bullet]

I've always enjoyed the Argus. It's ugly as sin but it's a tough old bird and I love it. Probably won't see it in MWO without a major design overhaul just try to imagine the hit boxes on this thing:

Marauder. 'Nuff said.

yep

[E_Crow]

Mad Dog B

and

Hollander II (Don't laugh)

[C E Dwyer]

The Victor, nimble fast assault with a hammer blow in the TTgame, that's before customisation gave every mech in the game weapon inflation in Mechwarrior

so that's where PGI got the DVD player missile ideas for the Catapult

[JudgeDeathCZ]

For me Bane(Kraken) for raw power.
Hammerhands bcuz I love concept of that mech .
Esthetically I can not decide if Awesome(MWO model) or Mauler(model from MWLL is so great)

I don't think so.
They probably got the idea from this:

It's the Clan Jade Falcon (if i recall correctly) Howler (IS name: Baboon)

All time favorite is the Atlas. No other mech chassis says, " I am become death", the way the Atlas does.

[ChrystalNiNja88]

If I was forced to choose one, it'd have to be the Battlemaster. I just love the 3025 look and the Re-Seen design ain't that bad either IMO. Love my Battlemasters in MWO.

Also think the Mad Cat MK IV was snazzy looking.

[Not A Real RAbbi]

Locust, Wasp, Stinger (a little less than Wasp), Phoenix Hawk, Rifleman, etc. All the original old-skool 3025 tabletop stuff. But MOST OF FREAKING ALL, the WARHAMMER. Lack of that mech (despite the initial teaser video for MWO) is my single greatest disappointment in this game. Warhammer was f***ing MONSTER.

And god forbid you be allowed to customize the loadout for it for a match. No infantry? Cool. MGs GONE.Swap the PPCs for ERLLs, swap up SLs to MLs, or SLs and MLs for MPLs. Get crazy with the Cheez Whiz!

Locust? My favorite all-time drive-by body piercing machine (8/12 movement, IIRC). RIDICULOUSLY hard to hit at a run, and too low-firepower to have to sweat overheating. Again, given the option I'd drop the MGs to swap for a MPL in the CT, and either a BIGGER engine or more armor.

Also, Archer and Rifleman in a fire support team with a RVN-3L droppin' TAG spots on enemies for that long-range fire support. OR a Crusader for the Archer if I had to sneak in a couple tons.

And don't even get me started on the rare LAMS-permitted match. PHOENIX HAWK LAMS WRECKED FACES with that ridiculous mobility!

Of course, if armor was allowed, hand off fire support duties to vehicles like Shrek PPC carriers, put up as many Warhammers as can be had, run rolling sniper lines until armor starts to peel off, then close for the kills.

WARHAMMER is the single most missed mech in this game for me. I want it so bad. I'd gladly trade all my Locusts and Jenners and my beloved 3L Raven and some of my clan mechs, for just ONE 3025- standard Warhammer. Don't judge.

Also, Mad Dog. It was somehow a LOT more effective in TT, and it just freakin; looks like a badass machine of "PWN your team, bang your girlfriends".

[Percy Veer]

Seperating into the weight categories, and going back to 1986-1989, which was when I really played Battletech, I would have said at the time:

Light - Panther

Although I fondly remember the Wasp and Valkyrie too.

Medium - Hunchback

Heavy - Marauder and Warhammer

Assault - Atlas and Zeus

Obviously back then I had a thing for PPC's and AC-20's, but I did like the design of the Zeus. Today I CW with Zeus x2.

[BigBenn]

I played TT in the mid to late 1980's and my favorites were the Warhmmer, Archer, and Griffon.

Warhammer is my all time favorite.

[BigJimJack]

Has to be the Battlemaster. I fell in love with it in the late 80's from table top days. In MWO the Hellslinger is easily my most played mech. Plus, best paint job hands down.

[Cupid and Psyche _]

Recently, I really like the Mad Dog. Even though it is not up to par with the other Clan heavies, I still like it. Piloting it just feels right and there is a lot you can do with the chassis (even if some of it isn't the most effective). Besides that, it just looks nice too
