It was the Zeus and Mauler. I still hold out hope for a Stone Rhino.

[SaltBeef]

Dragonfly, Arctic cheetah, Mechs that can finally shove BIG things up the arse of the Firestarter.

[meteorol]

Right now it's the cborn, because i shelled out 90$ for it

[Rushmoar]

My picks would be the Bushwacker, Cougar, and the Avatar. These where my favorites from earlier titles.

[Elkfire]

Mine was the Ryoken/Stormcrow, thus far. As for the future, I'm hoping to see the Uziel someday.

The Cheetah.

And I'm going to have a lot of good time with it!

Id love to see the Assassin, but dont think we will as it would be a repetitive mech in its weight class. I just think it looks cool :-) At least from the Original TROs.

being asking for the assassin in every single "what mech would you..." thread

Mauler and Rampage also the Atlas II thats on my list.

[Questia]

Hahahah. Kodiak.

Yes, it's a Clan 100-ton BattleMech, with (Clan!) 400 XL. F&#! subtlety, here's 100 tons of Warhawk-maneuverabe Banshee-durable living embodiment of Ghost Bear savagery. There ain't any other mech like it, not even the Dire Wolf can inspire this much fear in my heart. If you thought the XL400 Wubshee was a nightmare, this one will make you weep in despair.

My bet's on the [3] Variant with TWO LB-20X and 4 ERML (visions of dual UAC/20 4SPL super-brawler or DualGauss + 4 CLPL with engine downgrade), and the [5] Variant with NINE (!!!) ERML, two ERLL, and a Gauss Rifle (Maximum laser-brawler - 11 SPLs with UAC/20 for flavor). Yes, the Executioner can do all that plus MASC, but there's a certain sort of charm to this big old bear.

Oh, and CLAWS. *melee intensifies*

Somehow, I can see that left picture being about how wide they end up making the Kodiak, vs that right pic....where its more reasonably sized. ANd yes, I know the left is the more original Kodiak. BUt still lol.

[Juodas Varnas]

Whenever i think of the Kodiak, the first thing that comes to my mind is that it's a BEAR

I flubbed up.
The first one is the MWLL model of the Kodiak. Not sure if they implemented it, though.
The second is a custom-decal model of the Kodiak II (basically how they fixed the discrepancy between the original Kodiak and the redesign in MW4 and some other game that I forgot). The fixed-joint (less humanoid) arms kind of gave it away there.

But still, my point stands. KODIAK! KODIAK! KODIAK!

For me it would be the Marauder. And then the Warhammer. Then the Phoenix Hawk.

I know, we'll never see any of them in MWO.

But those would be my top 3.

Yeah, Kodiak is my next mech id love to see right alongside a Stone Rhino.

Id also love to see a Warhammer, but that is really a pipdream....

[Wrathful Scythe]

I want my Piranha. Let the people cry of how OP the MGs can be if you boat them en masse on a fast mech.

[Anjian]

Oh, damn, that. I remember somewhere that 70 tons is the actual best point for a heavy.
(two minutes of reading at least fifteen minutes of reading through Sarna later...)

YES, PLEASE. 64.8 kph may seem really freaking slow (that's Warhawk speed on a 70 tonner for crying out loud!), but the pod space... that's about 38 tons of free space (that's with the internal DHS) with max armor, and 30 slots to fit everything (based off a XL280 Phract with Endo).

Prime config breaks ghost heat, though, and does not lend well to boating... A config has jumpjets, B config will be the LRM boat to put the Mad Dog (and maybe even the Warhawk) to shame, and C config has ballistic weapons ON BOTH ARMS, OH YEAH. Design itself is not meta-powerful (wide body, slightly low-slung and HUGE arms, plus weapons concentrated in the arms), but acceptable. All in all, it's definitely something to get excited about.

Hardpoints are as follows, I'm assuming things for variants other than Prime and B
Prime: 5E (2E RA, 3E LA)
A: 4E (2E RA, 2E LA), 4 JJ (2 RT, 2 LT) [?] (or 2 RL, 2 LL)
B: 6M, 2E (3M RA, 3M LA, 1E RT, 1E LT)
C: 3B, 2E (2B RA, 1B 2E LA) [?]

So, possible combinations:
1. 7E (Prime/A RA, Prime LA, B RT/LT) [MPL Spam / Laservomit]
2. 3B 4E (C RA/LA, B RT/LT) [Dualgauss + Dual LPL or dakkavomit or UAC brawler]
3. 3B 3E + JJ (C RA/LA, A RT, B LT) [Dualgauss + Dual LPL + JJ or dual UAC-brawler + JJ]
3. 6E + 2 JJ (Prime/A RA, Prime LA, B RT, A LT) [Laservomit + JJ]
4. 1B 3E Lefty + JJ (C LA, A RT, B LT) [Gaussvomit with Shield-side]
5. 6M + 2 JJ + 1E (B RA/LA/RT, A LT) [LRMcat / Splatcat C + 1 extra laser]
6. 1B 3E 3M + JJ (B RA, C LA, A RT, B LT) [Brawler - UAC/20 + SRMs + SPLs]

Too bad it's introduced in 3059, though... but there's four variants that are valid with 3050 tech, so.
EDIT: HOLY **** I MADE MYSELF SUPER EXCITED *cough* sorry caps
I somehow made the Nova Cat sound very convincing (to me at least)...
