Oh and the Hollander. The mini was such a pain to paint.

No way to vote for the Urbanmech. -2 points.

So I went with next bets, my beloved Bushwhacker.

[Sidra]

Bushwacker hands down my favorite mech

[Hawks]

That's what I keep getting told and it doesn't fit the image I remember.

The Battlemech looked like the offspring of Megaman and Lance Armstrong's space suit.

You're almost certainly thinking of the Battlemaster.

[Siegwald]

Wolfhound. Hands down.

[Solidussnake]

battlemaster

[Powerferret]

I always liked the Raven and Shadowcat.

I cast my vote for the Thor. This was completely based on what mech I liked most / found most useful while playing MW Multiplayer. Aesthetically, I think Mad Dog looks the best, and I've probably chosen to pilot Timber Wolf (Mad Cat Mk2) most often, but this was usually to match the opposing team's TW's or Mk2's.

My philosophy has always been a utilitarian one. I prefer a sturdy mech that's not too fast and not too slow. One with the capability for a loadout that I can utilize for my strengths, and it has got to have dat jumpjets .... In my experience smooth and even DPS and a reliable damage threshold win out in my book. This isn't to say the MOST DPS or Armor, but, I want to have a good idea how much damage I can take. I don't want to have glass arms or legs; and God forbid an ammo explosion. Thor, Summoner, TW, Mk2, Shadow Cat and Stormcrow fit this description to me. Even when taking a smaller mech, I usually stripped out the faster engine for equal parts weps/armor/heat sinks.

I remember a clan mate once telling me that I piloted a light mech better then anyone he knew because I played it like a heavy mech. Even better than I did playing a heavy mech. I still don't know if this was a compliment, but, there ya go. Maybe it was just because I was more careful with relativity less armor.

... damn I almost forgot the Uziel. Helluva medium mech.

I voted for the Shadow Cat because that is a very close second, but nothing will ever top the Enforcer (or Enfield, depending on time frame).

[John Hartson]

I am totally missing the "None of the above"-Option!

[Lord Cochrane]

No Rifleman = fail poll.

[IcePho3nix]

Huh, I'm the only one who voted for the Owens? Small profile, stupidly fast, surprisingly well armored, and by god if it doesn't make SRM boating awesome.

[gawaing]

for me, the old school mechs
warhammer
marauder

[Chris von Hoff]

I forget the Battlemech's name.

But the image reminded me of an astronaut with a canon arm. That's the best I can describe it as.

look up victor?

[mezonblaster]

Thor. Minimalistic and powerful weapon set, tough armor, good speed, jets... And i just like it )

[Chunkymonkey]

Masaraki/Warhawk is feeling lonely, this shouldnt be Battlemech Segregation, Haters will always hate. I know of Catapults who literaly spit on urbanmechs with coolant fluid, together we can make a difference. End Battlemech Racism, And opression today, all the popular mechs dont know what if feels like to be that overlooked and shunned mech..

If you want to help the Freedom Pilots cause, send your beta key to me and i promise i will make a difference in game for you

Together, we can end battlemech racisim and segregration.

Marauder or the Vulture are always a far better choice than a MC. Just better load outs and armor for the tonnage along with a better siloete for a target. But that is mainly my Battle Tech Pod exp, I wish they would bring those back.

Pretty sure they're still around, just not in as many cities as they use to be, I know they packed up and left Toronto ages back.

But Agreed, Me and my Mad Dog/Vulture were something to be feared!

Locust and Archer are probably my two favorites. Also always kinda liked the Crusader. On the list, possibly Ebon Jaguar or Mad Dog.
