I could totally get behind a Javelin. We've got a lot of light laser boats and machine gunners, but not a whole lot in SRM-boats, where the Javelin would shine (Save for the Fire Javelin. Though that mech is fantastic on the board, I don't know how well it would fare here). On the mediums side of things, I'd really like to see the Hermes II and Whitworth get included into the game, I don't think we've seen the either since Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, if even that. they might even be a throwback all the way to Crescent hawks revenge, even though they're staple box set mechs. I'd also be glad to see the Assassin, though.

Also agreeing with the Flashman, but I'd also be happy with other rarely represented star league heavies. I'd far prefer to see the Guillotine make an appearance. Lancelots, Exterminators, and Bombardiers would be welcome additions. The Champion made it to Mechwarrior 3, which is still relatively modern feeling, but I wouldn't snub it.

On the Assaults side, all people tend to clamor for is the next thing to one-up the latest meta mech, and frankly, I hate that. "Bigger, and slower, and more guns" is just escalation. It's to the point now that all but one or two assaults are laughable. I want to see the Charger make it into the mix. Yes, stock chargers are crap, but tell me the last time anyone rode a stock anything on the field. I imagine a lot of scooty, heavily armored flashbulbs made from the 1A1, and some spooky AC20 builds on some of the other variants. The charger has not been seen since the Crescent Hawks games, even though it's supposed to be a more commonly seen (If loathed in it's stock variant) design.

I can't get behind the Annihilator or the Imp for the same reason I can't get behind the Flea as MWO mechs: They're meant to be Wolfs' Dragoons exclusive designs. Star league designs have been put in limited production as low-tech variants, and ComStar has been clinging to their old Star League mechs for centuries, doling them out to a few powers in exchange for favors, but wolfs' dragoons stuff doesn't get around the block for a while yet.

I could be happy on this way! But don't forget the flashman! Hahahahaha

Problem with the Atlas II is they were a very limited production Mech and all of them were removed from the Inner Sphere when the Exodus happened. Until 3070ish, they won't return as that design wasn't used again until that time and it was rebuilt using Mixed Tech. There isn't even an Altas IIC, even though the Atlas II was Nicolas Kerensky's personal Mech, go figure.

The all stuff about mech's II and IIc is not very interesting to me... it doesnt add new stuff! There is a huge amount of stuff that can enrich the game much more!

[Dettmam]

There is also a inner sphere copy of the timber wolf... i forgot the name... the mech is very good yo inner sphere standards!

Dude, I dont like to see it like this... we against them!

We are the client, we ask and they comply... we just need to ask properly, and politely... :-)

People have asked politely. Quite a few times in fact, only to be shouted down by the people that own them and don't want them resold, because reasons.

Why the Flashman? The BK has a high engine cap with (probably) good hitboxes. The flashman would likely need a standard engine in MWO, which would defeat the point of it being fast.

So according to Russ, the Warhammer is not off the table. That's good news. Now we just need to press him on it.

You know you want it. Support the Wubhammer and get a free cookie while making Mechwarrior history! The return of the face of BattleTech.

Because the flashman is cool! And to a long range laser vomit, maybe a xl engine is not that crazy, if speed make it worthy!

Jenners snubbing you because your PPC is too small?

Want to blind people using night vision with your spotlight?

Looking for an IS chassis that can run dual PPC/Gauss?

Want respect because you're not a walking trashcan in the heavy class?

Want a mech with more Hero versions than most have variants for?


Look no further! We here at StarCorps Industries have been working on solutions for over 500 years.

I'd give both of your legs for the Warhammer ShadowWolf Kell, but it's just not likely to happen, sadly, due to HG being HG. And with them licensing out the Robotech IP for a movie, you can bet that they will NOT be willing to let anyone use any of the Unseen in a commercial property, and probably will raise hell with anyone using them in non-commercial uses! Lots of money to be made with the merchandise off a RoboTech movie, no way in hell they'll let anyone pollute the market. It's HG, come on, they wouldn't let anyone pollute the market when there was NO market!

Now, if a microscopic blackhole would happen to hit HG's headquarters, we MIGHT have a chance of seeing the Unseen again...maybe...

Russ said the possibility is there. He simply hasn't gotten around to actually trying. I'm just trying to give him a little nudge.

Besides, Alex would work his voodoo magic.

Yes, but the timberwolf isn't used by any IS faction in 3050 either.


What's up with that obvious statement if like you didn't know the timberwolf was a clan mech?

Well, this kinda stems from the fact that the Atlas II was still in heavy use between Clan vs Clan combat WHICH the clans do in CW, do not forget that. and they did it in lore (mainly in trails however). So the atlas II has as much right being in game as the ebon jaguar, shadowcat, or the direwolf/ kitfox/ timberwolf S.

The atlas II is also as 'rare' as the kingcrab, but has much more heavy service and maintenance, so it has more reason to be in game then the kingcrab.

The reason there is no IIC mech is that they feared to 'taint' the original mech design, same how the orion IIC was very rare, as the orion was sacred. The Atlas II did have clan weapons on it though on some variants. It is possible PGI can pass it off as a "IIC" mech but I would like to see both IS and Clan variants in game.

Javelin is kind of iconic! in all mechwarrior games I played before, the javelin was kind of the first u buy! I was very happy running a javeling in Mechwarrior II mercenaries!! :-D

The flashman is kind of my prefered one... I like the lamp shape, hahahaha, and it is god damn fast and powerfull!

I imagine a Flashman with some good ER Large Laser quirks!
