Hey everyone. I was thinking about what mechs I would be most excited about being added to MWO, so I thought it'd make this a public discussion.

To be clear, I'm saying ANY mech that isn't in the game, regardless of era, technology, or any factors other than your own personal interest in it. Many mechs in lore probably won't end up being added, but these are the mechs that you would enjoy piloting, regardless of their chance of actually ending up in the game.

For me, I played a lot of MW3 and MW4 so the Bushwacker is my immediate go-to. Other mechs I'd like to pilot would be the Uziel, Nova Cat, Chimera (probably wouldn't be very good, but it's my namesake) and the Sunder. There's one other mech I would like to pilot, but I won't Mad dare Cat say MK its II name on these forums.

I haven't thought in-depth in terms of builds, but my go-to on the Bushwacker in MW4 was an LBX 20 (or Gauss) with a pair of SRM racks and some lasers. Of course, that'd probably be adjusted to like an AC 10 and some combination of SRMs and MLs here.

The Sunder is probably my second-favorite out of those, it was capable of mounting pretty effective combinations of Autocannon and Lasers in MW3 and 4.



Please don't bring arguments over likeliness of being added into this. This is just a fun topic for people to talk about their pet mechs.

So anyway, what's your personal most anticipated chassis (s?), and what kinds of builds would you like to try on it/them?

lol that looks cool, but I think it would need to be censored. How'd it look with a big black box around that PPC?

Kodiak was a day 1 pre-order for me. Probably one of my favorite mechs of all time, and unlike the Nova (which was probably one of my most nostalgic mechs ever), it won't be redesigned quite so... severely. (seriously give it high acceleration, deceleration and turn rates, then encourage using the arms to aim).

Bushwacker is probably my next most wanted. Having gone from MW2 to 3 all the way up through 4, it's pretty iconic if for no other reason than because it was the mech you started the campaign in MW3 with (even back then, SHS were painful to use).

Wouldn't mind seeing things like the Hatchetman either. Not that I expect a melee system of any kind ever. Being able to punch with an atlas or kodiak would be pretty nice though.

Yeah, the Kodiak is definitely a nice mech. I don't know it from earlier stuff but in MW4: Mercs it's a real beast. Unfortunately kind of overshadows the Gladiator (Executioner) in that game, though the Exe had better hitboxes. I pre-ordered the standard Kodiak pack, going to have a fun time with it. If only it could fit better into a CW dropdeck...

I would love the Sentinel. Not the best on TT, but I like how it looks. In mwo it would have high-mounted hardpoints and it' not that humanoid as most mechs in the game.

Also the Stinger and Wasp. :)
