After the success of the urbanmech russ tweeted he wanted some more ideas for mechs the player base may want to support.


So here are the guidelines
>there must be at least 3 cannon loadouts
>it must be available in the 3050 timeframe.

So as much as I would love to see a mauler, uziel, bushwacker or a nightstar those are out.

Here is what I will throw some money at PGI for-

1.Hatamoto chi and its variants.
Yes I am a kurita player and I want to see our iconic mech in the game. as of 3050 it has 8 variants available between the chi/hi/ku/kaze and mizo.

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Hatamoto-Chi

For clans

Again only 2 varians of the piranha and the cauldron born is 3055 so no go there.

my suggestion-

2.viper/dragonfly
Its basically a jumping cicada that does 130kph with 5 variants.

Axeman!

I think it lacks variants for 3050 sadly. They could invent one if they did though.

As for the axe, have it fastened to the outside of forearm so that the blades could double as a shield (similar to the shield plate on the Centurion arm.

It's a bit too out there (too many things going against it), but I'd like the mech.

Are we happy with the sale - sure - it's been fun. Happy enough to scramble on other player desired classic mechs? I wouldn't go that far.

Not sure where exactly you read that he asks for mech suggestions...

[Nothing Whatsoever]

I'd like to see some Kurita mechs like the Hatamoto Chi.

Timeline I can agree with, but the Enforcer would like to know why it needs 3 canon loadouts...

My submissions: Wolfhound, Hatchetman

This was a tweet of his, he tweets fairly frequently asking for input.

In any event, masc or not, timeline or not, I'd love to see the shadow cat. It's aesthetic is so unlike what's in the game, and I'm willing to bet it would handle like a dream.

[Mauller]

I'll pick some from each weight class for IS. I'm not necessarily looking for the best mechs, just interesting ones or ones that have a nice look to them and that I would like to see updated with a new design.

Light: Firefly, Mercury and Wasp
Medium: Sentinel or Dervish
Heavy: Guillotine, Crusader or Archer
Assault: Mauler (NEED THIS!), Annihilator, Hatamoto-Chi, Cyclops

[Alistair Winter]

Hatamoto-chi is the obvious choice.


Honourable mention: Mauler, Wolfhound.

[Lily from animove]

clan battlemechs, supernova and annihilator (yes the one that looks like its pregnant)

And for CW we should firts fill the 5 ton gaps, so a 90 and 95 ton clanmech would be good for the assaults. and Since it seems lanners will get omnimech, the most possible given thing ywould be the gladioator (executioner 95t)

on the other side, the Bane (Kraken) i nice as well, yet not an omnimech.

But when e follow Russ' reauest we may soon see the Kodiak and probaly the Black knight and a PGI own "marauder design?) I mean seriously, PGI's designs are unique enough to create a marauder like mech, we just can call it different and I would be fine with that.

[Weeny Machine]

Axeman and Berserker (the latter with MASC).

However, we'd need a melee system then! That would shake up the game pretty much

[TheSilken]

How is the Mauler out? It debuted in 3048.

Clan:
Bane "Kraken" 100 tonner <- Ballistic powerhouse (10 UAC-2s and 4 MGs in the Bane 1!)
Bowman 70 tonner <- Powerful support mech
Battle Cobra 40 tonner <- Light, tough, hard hitting, good agility
Peregrine "Horned Owl" 35 tonner <- Capable dueler


Inner Sphere:
Annihilator 100 tonner <- IS Ballistic King
Black Knight 75 tonner <- IS ECM Heavy
Crab 50 tonner <- The King needs a little buddy
Wolfhound 35 tonner <- Nasty energy payload

the cauldron born is 3055 so no go there.

Sarna says CB production year was 3049, although I have no idea of the actual inception year.

Also, it has 5 configs ready to be released in the current timeline.

Prime - A - B - C - D

Correct me if I'm wrong. I just want to see this badboy sooner rather than later

[STEF_]

THE ASSASSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The medium that IS still don't have

[Weeny Machine]

On a second thought: an Exterminator is also pretty cool

[Siegegun]

I want the Crab. We have King Crabs but no peasant mechs to boss around. The King Crab needs subjects!


p.s.- That is a cool Assassin pic Stefka.

[Slepnir]

I see lots of people suggesting unseens (I thought we understood this was a no go to avoid legal trouble with HG) and stuff way beyond 3050 or melee mechs when there is no melee or plans for it in the forseable future.

I am a huge fan of the cauldron born, even though it says it was designed in 3049 it didn't see deployment till it showed up in the 3055 readout as re-enforcements for the clans.

Awww... *shed tear* Well, thanks for clearing that up anyway.
