You should make a poll for this, but to keep the topic of this thread I say Kodiak.

Kodiak
Love me a Kodiak

Given the lack of fast Clan light 'mechs, I'd say the Fire Moth (Dasher) would be the obvious choice for rounding out the lineup.

But if that level of speed severely breaks something on the technical side, the Viper (Dragonfly) is a solid choice, Good speed, great jump capability, similar potential to the Ice Ferret (Fenris), but with better stock loadouts and lighter by five tons, which is nice when drop weight limits are considered. Bringing in the Prime, A, C, and D variants would give a very diverse range of hardpoint options, too.

This week he's now asking about a 4-mech pack. Preferably one of each weight class, but it doesn't have to be. To quote him exactly:

In Clan technology please list off for me your most ideal 4 mech pack. Doesn't have to be one per weight class but ideally would be

Thusly, I'd vote for another second-line mech pack. My votes would be:

Light: Piranha - 20 tons ideally, or Commando IIC - 25 tons if it was to certainly be IIC pack.
Medium: Shadow Hawk IIC - 45 tons.
Heavy: Rifleman IIC - 65 tons if it had to be a heavy, otherwise I'd actually prefer a Griffon IIC as the third mech, another medium at 40 tons.
Assault: Kodiak - 100 tons ideally, or the Phoenix Hawk IIC if it had to be a IIC (of course that'd also require the standard Phoenix Hawk to be introduced, which I'm really looking forward to).

On the other hand, if it was Omnimechs, the selections would have to be a bit different. I'd prefer it NOT be another omnimech pack, but that's just me.

Light: Dasher/Fire Moth - 20 tons . . . should be more than doable with MWO mechanics and recent changes to Speed Tweak.
Medium: Coyotl - 40 tons . . . first omnimech ever . . . it should be in game.
Heavy: Lupus - 60 tons . . . another early omnimech that has a very interesting look and weapons loadouts. It should make for a unique and awesome looking MWO mech.
Assault: Kingfisher - 90 tons . . . rugged, angry, and a good variety of hardpoints. It's also another early omnimech.

40 ton Clan mech, we do not have one yet... I suggest the ARTIC WOLF.

Fire Moth/Dasher 20 tons

Kodiak 100 tons

Grizzly 70 tons

Pouncer 40 tons

I want the mech whose ENGINE I CAN SWAP OUT.


Now that that's out of the way (and I was serious about it, Mr. Bullock): it'd be cool to have the Stone Rhino.

[Solis Obscuri]

If they've got the rights to use the Unseen designs, could probably make lots of folks happy by releasing the Rifleman IIC, Warhammer IIC, and Marauder IIC. Add either the Locust IIC or Shadow Hawk IIC and that's an easy four pack (or four-pack plus bonus).

[Repasy Cooper]

Warhammer IIC
