With the announcement of Clan battlmechs, specifically the iic mechs. It's time to ask, which mechs should be in the next IS mech pack? Omni's?

My choices would be the Javelin (missile light), Assassin (missile med.), Falconer (gauss+erppc+400 max engine, if you wanted to) or Penetrator (75t, ecm, JJ, missile variant, high engine cap.) Either the Gunslinger, Annihilator, Nightstar or Hatamoto-Chi

I removed the Pillager due to timeline issues. All mechs should be available by 3052

Vote by "liking" and please share which mechs you want to see in the next IS mech pack.

(If a Dev. sees this thread it'd be encouraging if you said something.

Only the Pillager really doesn't fit, as it, from a canon standpoint, didn't return until 3058. I suppose it could work, but there'd be literally only 1 Pillager chassis to work with until Arrow IV or Stealth Armor is introduced. Not sure many people would pick that up.

Same problem here. Literally every single Atlas II left the inner sphere, and again, as with the Pillager, even if we did get it, there would be only 1 usable chassis.

My opinion...

For lights I'd like to see the Mongoose, Falcon, Firefly.

For mediums I'd like to see the Clint, Whitworth, Dervish, Sentinel.

For heavies I'd like to see the Caesar, Guillotine. Flashman.

For assaults I'd like to see the Charger (The 3050 CGR-3k, not the 3025-3039 CGR-1A1), Thug, Annihilator, Katana and Shogun.

That's really it for me. A lot of the 3055 TRO IS mechs are really 'meh' for me.

Remaining Unseen.

Don't even care if they are radical redesigns of the mechs. I just want to run around in a Warhammer and a Marauder. Don't care how it looks.

Repeat after me:

Assault: A N N I H I L A T O R


Mix in some other lights and heavies and you have a deal.

You have very weird ways of spelling Sentinel and Crockett...

I could get behind this. Those were my alternative choices for heavies actually.

Alright, I'll switch in the Gunslinger, Annihilator or Hatamoto (I've added the Nightstar as well)

Seriously things a monster!!! And it has battlefield longevity. It really needs to be in the game. I'll never pilot another mech if it is. 6 medium pulse laser and 2 large lasers stock. Run hot? Oh hell yes, but there's no others ride when you won't have a supply chain and you can't afford frequent field maintenance. Archer demands his penetrator

I've been seeing Assassin and Javelin a fair amount, which is good. I think both fill a role that MWO doesn't already have a niche for, and that's good. I'm seeing Sentinel and Mongoose too, which are both good choices as well.

I rarely see anyone suggest the Thug though. Its closest competitors would be the Awesome and Zeus, which means it has a chance to shine, and tbh it's just really cool-looking. It also has a couple potential hero variants.

[Tiamat of the Sea]

Light: Hussar (first pick), Venom (second pick/expansion)

Medium: Whitworth (first pick), Dervish (second pick/expansion)

Heavy: Ostroc

Assault: Thug (first pick), Cyclops (second pick/expansion)


Trying not to stray out of line of years.

If we're reaching forwards to 3053 or so, then it becomes:

Light: Hussar (first pick), Venom (second pick/expansion)

Medium: Whitworth (first pick), Dervish (second pick/expansion)

Heavy: Bandersnatch (first pick), Ostroc (second pick/expansion)

Assault: Gunslinger (first pick), Thug (second pick/expansion)





A note: I am suuuuuuuper indecisive, because there are so many things I like. With 'mechs, as with food, I could be here all day just changing my mind about which sounds better.

[zagibu]

Javelin
Assassin
Champion (two shield arms!)
Annihilator (although I guess it's gonna be the Cyclops)

[Scout Derek]

As everyone says and I, personally have asked throughout the years of being here, the Annihilator.

Who doesn't wanna try AC/40 (4 AC/10) or AC/80 (4 AC/20)?????

Doesn't have the anni the speed of the urbie? I mean stock? Being tall as an Atlas, that won't end well. But at least it will end fast.

it has regular armor and structure, so you can upgrade to endo and up the engine size, which then you can go around (maybe) 44kph.

Also has taller arm placement and torso hardpoints (up to atlases chin I believe) and a better torso turn radius.
