Hollander II was supposed to be a Medium Mech wasn't it?

It will probably never happen for various reasons, but I have always wanted a Brigand. First mech produced by pirates(sort of counts as IS). http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Brigand

I'd be happy with a Flea as well, and will probably buy any light chicken walker because... reasons.

Stinger LAM, any LAM's would be fine and add an additional height dimension to the game.

My two favorites:

1) Venom
- what's not to like on this Spider's heavier brother weighing 35 tons?

2) Scarabus
- sadly, with no physical attacks in MWO, this Hatchet-armed 'Mech will probably never be in MWO

I'd like to see more "light" lights:

Flea, as the concept art is already done.
Stinger and Wasp, for being iconic, and for being some of the most numerous mechs of all in lore. Really need them.

Hollander, for the lulz. I believe it's just out of timeline, but uses current tech, so it should be fine (according to Russ). I think they'd still have to come up with a third non-lore variant, but I think that's also already been done with other mechs.

About the LAMs -- would love to see them, but in a game that hardly has a use for lights, due to the small maps and predictable tactics, what possible role would these have?

an SRM2? Bigger pffffft... heck most times the second missile misses entirely! And the STG-3G is better than ANY Wasp variant of the same timeline! (4 tons of armor vs 3, and a second MLaser ftw! And the SLDF ROyals version??? Fahgedaboutit!)

Because I lurv my Panthers: The Wight. A faster, lighter slimmer version with a prettier face.*

*Edit: @#$! It's not even faster... ok, a worse version with the Particle cannon in the chest.

I'll also second votes for the Wasp, Hollander and Scarabus (just give that hatchet arm size and serious structure quirks, first light with a dedicated shield! Scaraturion)

Uh, all of them? I'm currently working on mastering the last few light variants I haven't gotten mastered. When I'm done with that, I need more! :)
