We have the Kodiak mech so can we now get the Grizzly too...
Fits within Russ Bullocks preferred timeline as production began in 2947 for the initial version. 70 tons is a good spot for a heavy mech, the most played class in the game. Its also a clean slate where PGI can create some custom variants that are different and welcome into the game.

Single mechpack as its a second line mech. Yay. Id buy it.

And it looks beautiful.....

I'm sure the last thing the game needs is yet another clan heavy.

They already have holes in their mech lineup and already have more heavy mechs then any other slot.

I imagine if we did get a one off pack, it would probably be a medium or assault mech.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure EVENTUALLY it will get in. But there are many more mechs that are probably better suited for the game at this point.

The amount of mechs that people desperately want in this game is less fun now, more depressing. Mostly because it means there's a much lower % chance of the mechs I want to get in to get in. Like the Bushwacker or Annihilator.

thing is when the mechs run out, pgi runs out of income and game over. they really need to diversify their sales to things beyond just mechs.

I think this is a good idea. IS mechs outnumber Clans big time, so I think PGI should focus on bringing more Clan mechs to the game.

Also, Clans only have the Summoner at 70 tonnes. A second 70 tonner could be a good thing, especially a battlemech...

What do IS have at 70 tonnes? Grasshopper, Cataphract, Warhammer, and soon the Archer.

FWIW, I like the Grizzly more than the Kodiak.

Really?! Hmmm. I think saturating the game with pointlessness and redundancy is more depressing. Probably just my fault for wanting depth in game play in lue of more stupid mechs.

The truly sad part about the available mech line-up going forward is that... well... it's getting so thin that PGI is actually "on the cusp" of releasing an Inner Sphere mech from 3066 as a Clan mech in 3053 because... erm, it uses Clan tech I guess.

A Clan mech I haven't heard of that looks good in the original artwork?

I don't believe it! I thought every pre-3055 Clan mech not already in MWO looked like this roboderp.

I love my Clan mechs. I really do. For me, the Timberwolf is almost as an iconic image to me as the Warhammer... but the Viper was always fugly. It's pretty awful. And since it's not a very good mech for MWO, we might never have to see this thing in the game.

[Hillslam]

More mechs.... bleh. Bring PvE. Find a way to monetize it if you need to PGI.

[SkaerKrow]

I wouldn't kick it out of my drop deck.

[Steel Claws]

Black Lanner....

Grendel....

Cougar...yes I know its a little early.

Huntsman....

Turkina....

Night Gyr...

[Anjian]

Looks like a good proposal but I would put it second behind the Night Gyr aka proto-Novacat.

Night Gyr will likely come in a 4 omni mech pack and this is a second line mech so like the Kodiak could comne in a single mech pack.

As mediums & heavy mechs are the most played having more options in those categories is always good.
