It makes me sad to say this as it is my favorite Mech and i would run nothing else but we will never see the Marauder....

Unless some major lawyer work happens and they finaly fix the problem that has plagued MW games since the begining

Shadow Hawk is 55 tons mate. Apart from that one, I've also voted for the Hammer and the Highlander ... tough calls all in all.

[Wrayeth]

This thread needs more Devastator. It went into full production in 3048, making it absolutely eligible for appearance in MWO. This is pretty much my dream mech, TBH, so I really hope it makes it in.

I'd love to see the classic 20 ton Stinger/Wasp/Locust... but just don't see it happening. Might be a blast to play them on occasion though! I think the franchise will continue going forward with lights such as we've seen, which makes a lot of good sense. I do think we're overdue for the Panther to make it on to a computer screen though! So... that's why my vote for the Panther, as well as it being a very classic Kurita mount (though I don't necessarily see myself playing as a Drac).
Oops... I was between the Starslayer and Enforcer, and may have forgotten to remove one of them from the vote poll before clicking the "vote" button. I'd realllly like to see a Vindicator in the game, but the Starslayer and Enforcer make a bit more sense from the perspective of most players, I would think.
I think the Orion will end up being a playable mech in the game, so... I had to go with my underdog vote of the Grasshopper. Less likely to make it in perhaps (but hey... I didn't suspect some of the ones that have gotten in, and I'm glad they did), and I do think a Grasshopper would be wicked fun to play with.
Zeus... I think it just ought to be there.
While the Zeus may get added later, the Panther, Starslayer or Enforcer (niche already nicely filled by the Centurion), and Grasshopper would not seem as likely to get added later if they don't get in now, but I'd really enjoy driving them - especially the Panther and Grasshopper.

Edit: oh yeah... considering the timeframe, it's also very likely that the Victor will get in the game, which I'd enjoy seeing as well... but gotta keep my Zeus vote for now. Some tough choices on your poll though! Fun to take!

You'll need to remove the following unseen mechs....they have already stated they will not be in the game (due to copyright infringement)

I posted a more complete list (complete with appropriate variants) on another thread, http://mwomercs.com/...lable-at-launch

Alright, but before I remove them, I have to ask one thing:


What new 'Mechs should I put in!? Reply w/ one 'Mech from each class! First reply gets a cookie (seriously, I will give you a chocolate chip or macadamia) and there Mechs in!

Unfortunately there aren't a lot of mechs for you to add. But you should definitely remove the mechs that we know won't be in the game (Clan/Unseen) these would be:

Marauder (Unseen)
Warhammer (Unseen)
Stinger (Unseen)
Shadow Hawk (I believe this is an Unseen)
Phoenix Hawk (Unseen)
Phoenix Hawk LAM (Unseen)
Crossbow (only if you mean the clan mech)
Rifleman (Unseen)
Grand Dragon (we already have the dragon)
Axman (just entering production during game time, therefor unlikely to see it for a few years)
Crusader (not 100% but he resembles the unseen mechs a lot)
Daikyu (introduced 3055, game time right now is 3049)
Hotomoto-chi (not common enough, only introduced 3039)
Thunder Stallion (most likely not going to add a quad leg mech, Clan)
Longbow (Unseen)
Mauler (introduced 3048, not common enough)
Daboku (introduced 3038, not common enough, many failures and 0 variants, was eventually upgraded to the mauler)
Mackie (too old)
Bane (Clan)
Battle Cobra (Clan)
Glass Spider (Clan)

Most of that info stems from Sarna. If I am wrong please correct me and I'll make changes.

[Ninja Chef]

I'm the only one with love for the Daiyku? How sad!

[Murku]

looks like the Panther and Vindicator are fairly clear winners in Light/Medium so far, I think it's very likely from past noise those two will be early additions. Still a lot of love going out to the unseens in the Heavy section, thats not likely to happen any time soon. Highlander seems a popular Assault (beat my poor Zeus). and does the icky Mauler. /Boo.

Voted Panther, Vindicator, Orion, Zeus.

[Spleenslitta]

Light - Toro. When i compare it to my beloved Firebee this is the mech that comes closest as far as possibilities go. It looks pretty cool too.
i will probably never pilot a heavy / assault mech.

Medium - Enforcer. Almost voted whatever here. No real reason for why i voted the Enforcer. I will be using the Trebuchet when i use a medium mech.

Heavy - Orion. If you look at it's fluff you'll see that it's a real workhorse heavy mech. Lot's of it being produced and used. Really flexible weapons loadout.

Assault - Victor. I nearly voted for the Zeus or the Thug. But i chose the Victor for it's stay frosty weapons loadout and jump jets.

I know the marauder is not gonna be in it, but I still voted for it because I have a huge man-crush for it.
True story

[Viper69]

I like all the unseen mechs but I have wrote them off as ever being able to play them.

[Schtirlitz]

We don't even know what mechs will be in the game.
Hope we'll have choice as wide as your poll list is

[Captain Nice HD]

Gotta love the TR-A-6 Toro, even if the only surviving example in 3049 is a non-functional museum piece on New Vandenburg. The Star League Defense Force despised fighting the things, and went out of their way to not only shut down production, but eliminate all surviving examples they could find during and after the Reunification War. Consequently, they're truly an extinct breed, at least until Vandenburg Mechanized Industries finally restarts production in 3076.

On the other hand, the Toro's larger, younger brother, the TLS-1B Talos is a more likely sight. Not currently in production, but widely distributed amongst the Periphery nations during its heyday and not as aggressively targeted by the SLDF as the Toro. It is conceivable that a few might have survived as junkyard fixer-upers. I mean, if the Fedrats could shake down their Outback militias for half a dozen Hammerhands during the Word of Blake Jihad...

NO! Jupiter is clan design, not to mention about 30 years down the road

[deharmony]

what happened to the firefly,dervish,flashman or shogun?

[Bodha]

Assassin... http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Assassin Whats not to like. Fast and with the ability to harass with the lrm. This mech can perform scouting roles, anti-scout roles, and harassing roles all wrapped in one. This mech may be a medium but its only 5 tons heavier than a Jenner. May not have as much laser love, but it is not stuck with the heat issues either. Very different from the current 40 ton mech the Cicada.

Grasshopper... http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Grasshopper A Jump Jet equipped mech with lots of laser love. This mech is a solid flanker and with that large laser and LRM-5 its capable of poking from range. With a bit of adjustment you can easily give this mech an ER PPC or a larger LRM if thats your fancy. Same weight as the Cataphract, but a different design philosophy. Would easily be a nice competitor.

Zeus... http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Zeus Sure people will say its an assault mech, but at 80 tons and with a 64kph movement speeds it really just a slightly beefier heavy mech. The stock version is a modest support mech setup that with a bit of tweaking could either be even better at support or could be turned into a mean brawler. Could easily see slapping an SRM-6 and LBX-AC/10 onto this bad boy. Options abound with the hard point variety and it will stack up well in comparison to the Awesome which is the current 80 mech planned.
