http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Huntsman aka Nobori-nin for IS aka Centurion IIC. 23.5 tons of pod space vs 23 tons of Stormcrow (JJ included), 86 kph, full spectrum of hardpoints basically all over the mech in any combination, taken from TRO 3058 right along with Ebon Jaguar, Shadow Cat and Arctic Cheetah (absolutely no exclusive technologies or weapons not present in MWO at the moment). And a large mohawk.

I mean they have presented Wave 1-2 buyers with Mad Dog after all, why stop now?

In my opinion the idea is way too complicated to begin with. Not that the I would have anytin against having a new mech in the game but making a whole new chassisjust for the sake of a loyalty reward is a bit too much.

This has been brought up several times and it was ignored every time (i tried twitting russ and sending PMs).

But since wishing never hurts... i would vote for a 40 ton omni...like these two:

Why, and http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Battle_Cobra in a 40 ton bracket for that matter. Not sure about Viper though, seems really undergunned even by IS standards.

It does not have JJs though... the same cause the adder is suffering from. (Alt-F has JJs but its out of the timeline)

If we they have to add another Omni, it could be the Viper. However, if i could choose any 'Mech, i would like an UrbanMech IIC

Maybe, but 40 t Battle Cobra should be a little smaller than 45 t Ice Ferret (and thus harder to hit) and it should add its unique >:[| look with its cobra cowl and narrowed eyes

They might as well gift it for preorder of Urbie collection Might as well be actually feasible with Clan size and weight of equipment.

As much as i hope that they include something as a loyalty gift... i'm almost certain that their wont be any for wave 3.

Wave 2 maddog was a special case.
I think wave 2 package mechs were intentionally chosen to be very bad and sub-par. This way, highly demanded clan mechs could be saved for another pack.
Because no one would have bought the top package to get some some useless mechs, they sweetened the deal by adding the maddog (as some sort of compensation) and the king crab.

Wave 3 mechs are fan favorites... they dont need incentives for higher sales.

That situation would be highly abnormal since ALL mechs must have their place in the game. That was the primary reason for quirks, to give unused mechs an incentive. Mad Dog is good but nothing special in and of itself, it is just a Catapult-IIC. Besides, that was then, this is now, and we know how does PGI "pricing" compare to other games. People have coughed up some serious money, especially those who bought all three packs (the majority of Clan players IMO), and I believe they do deserve some incentive.
