Thread title says it all. What do you guys think? What is the best Mech in MWO currently?

I am going to throw out the Timber Wolf.

[Bishop Steiner]

Urbanmech.

God tier, son.

This.

[Wolfways]

Best in what way? If you mean most powerful I say anything that carries lots of AC's.

Edit: I do hate Jenner IIc's more that anything atm though

Vindicator.

[Metus regem]

Very subjective question, like asking what is the worst Mech...

For me, right now my best Mech I'd my Warhammers, she is the most consistent when I play.

[Eider]

Timberwolf or artic cheetah. Expect a lot of the usual but if x skill. Overall they are the best combining speed, toughness and firepower.

[CanadianCyrus]

Gonna say Timberwolf. Has more armor than a lot of the 80-90 ton Assaults, 81Kph (87 speedtweak), and has a lot of room for a large variety of builds or just boating in general.

[El Bandito]

Overall? Still Timberwolf.

[SkaerKrow]

The Timberwolf seems to be the best overall.

[Eider]

Not the timber, it has always been since the invasion a timbergod.

[John1352]

Normally I would say Timberwolf, but I've been doing some 1v1s and have seen two mechs consistently beat it.

The Marauder has the best hitboxes in the game AND structure quirks AND mobility quirks AND weapon quirks.

The Catapult C4's giant structure quirks and missile cooldown make it an epic SRM brawler.

Urbanmech is not a bad choice.

What?

[Nauht]

Oh please. The reign of the TW is truly over.

With structure and agility/movement quirks IS heavies outperform a TW in all aspects except one - range.

I have no fear of TWs anymore in either my BL-KNT, MAD or WHM.

[Ultimax]

It's really not the Timber Wolf, you people need to get over it.

Errr, max armor (which everyone should have) is based on tonnage. 80+ ton mechs have more armor than a timberwolf. ALL of them do. Some lighter IS mechs may as well, with armor quirks, but I haven't looked.

I guess I should say it comes stock with armor which gives it more stock armor than some assaults. Obviously those assaults can increase it more (and some even only marginally more than the TBRs max). But more so I was pointing out that the TBRs stock armor is high with also a lot of room for weapons to be added as well.

Then which mech is it? Don't leave us hanging.

None of those mechs run as fast as the Timberwolf, with optimal loadouts, BTW. Marauders in particular are lucky to break even 70kph.
