HEY..isn't that the robot that tried to kill just about everybody in Futurama?

Also the robot that WILL kill everyone in MWO come December.

It was once the Cicada. I really liked a unique build I had on there and it was glorious, shining in a mech that was considered mediocre by most.

Then today the Shadow Cat came out... and I realized that it could do the exact same thing, but far better mobility...
And so Divine Intervention Mk 3.0 was born.

Unless something goes wrong really badly, I guess Shadow Cat?...

Honorable mention: Hunchback.

Centurion. I have ALL of them, including the Loyalty one. They are just so damn tough for their weight.

Kintaro 18C Chain Rattle build is, has been and will be my favorite mech in the game.

I to am hooked on mediums, IS 55s are an obsession that is only being balanced by my Treb 7K and BJ 1.

Best looking has to be the Centurion, it looks like Rocket Man in a robot alt. dimension.

Accept no substitutions.



Though I will say, for my playstyle, the Grey Death was a pleasant surprise.

You sir have some good taste

That's tricky. I was never good at picking one lone favorite. These re what I like though...

I kinda like the Enforcers, especially the A/C20C20 capable (4P).

I like the Centurion (A). That A/C10 high RoF setup is so fun.

Vindicator 1AA is a nice fast jumping sniper. Quick, maneuverable, but hard to use well due to some huge deficiencies. Challenging.

Hunchback (4P). It was doing laser vomit before it was cool...err hot in this case. This mech is often ignored but still very dangerous at short range. Love it.

My favorites each play a little different and offer me a different experience. They play different and that is why it is hard to pick just one.

[Aggravated Assault Mech]

Fave to play is the Grid Iron, easily.

Fave to look at is the ole 4G(F), easily.

Hailz all:

Mediums are my best mechs . Really like Hunchies and Griffons. Don't usually acquire mechs based on looks but probably the Hunchie. Reminds me of a bar brawler friend of mine from my old Navy days before my wife and kids, but that is another story.

V/R Dinochrome

[Steinar Bergstol]

The Dragon, naturally.

What?

Whaddaya mean it's not a medium? Hrmph. Just because it's belly makes it a mere 5 tons overweight?

Fine. Griffin then. Love the sound. Love the cockpit view. Love the way it handles and looks. That said, if we ever got a Phoenix Hawk I would be all over that thing in an uncomfortably creepy manner.

Clanmechs? BAH! I have only Inner Sphere machines, and so it shall remain! Darn bucketbabies and their fancy toys.

[zagibu]

Mine is the Centurion. Hunchbacks aren't half bad either. I like fast moving cannons.

[xe N on]

I like to play my Stormcrow. And my second Stormcrow. Ah, ya and yes, my third Stormcrow is quite nice, too.

Just kidding.

Dancing through fire showers with my Griffins. Just epic. Any of them.

Mediums = Nothing takes more skill to play.

a dead one... seriously. i can't stand playing meds.. i own an enforcer that i can't sell, a stormcrow, griffin, and wolverine for CW dropdecks and i do my best to ensure they stay buried under that mountain of dust.

Wow, "can't stand" and "Stormcrow" together in the same subject. I get what you're saying (not every class is for everyone), but I still never thought I'd read that lol.

Hi all , before the nerf of ac20 range :
- blackjack with ac20 and 3 medium was my favorite mech ,then i changed the ac20 for the gauss rifle.
this is an example of what nerf versus poptart (remeber the ac20 and 2 ppc builds on vindicators?) reflected on my favorite mech ,sigh.
After
- Vindicator 2 PPC (unused from some months)
- blackjack 2ac2 and 4 medium...(BJ1DC) i'm still using this build and i really do good match (from 500 to 800 dmg ) this thing is powerful !

That was a thing?!? Lack of performance aside, I'm surprised that even fit. An A/C20 mounts in a 1X arm? Doesn't the 1X have lower arm actuators? I can't imagine how small of a XL engine would be needed and how slow that would be.

You sure?

P.S. I had to check Smurfy. You must have misspoke because that doesn't fit.

correct, no VND can pack an ac20 because they all have full arm actuators in the left arm. And the only one that can pack ballistics can only carry one PPC.

Sounds awesome and bad at the same time.

Kinda makes me want to try and make it fit on an Enforcer 4P lol. XL100 here I come .

Ok, I'm guessing he probably meant to say a Victor maybe? It's a far cry from a Medium though.

[MeiSooHaityu]

I was going to say that you better be standing in some water, but let's face it, that ain't helping with that cooling efficency (a whopping 15%). Just have your life insurance plan paid up.
