Are they some of the following: Catapult, Nova, Dragon, Locust, Timber Wolf, Mad Dog, Warhawk, Dire Wolf, Battlemaster, Thunderbolt, or maybeeee....., the Vindicator??

The Catapult looks nice and cute and I think I need to have this iconic 'Mech, so, there's a chance that I might buy a Cata. But I also have a (L)oyalty Nova which has been sitting at the garage for a long time and she needs some companions. What about you?

[veedubfreak]

I want a butterbean just so I have a cbill Catapult.

[Malachy Karrde]

Dire wolves received a huge buff this patch. I'm still working out how much, but I'm willing to hazard that they are good enough to be near the top of the assault mech food chain.

[Bluefalcon13]

None really. I still have some wolfhound's to finish, but put that on hold. Really enjoying the PXH. May have to get the reinforcement pack for the last few models. None of those are because of the rescale. I already have my founder-pult, a jester, and a k2 waiting for some play time as well.

Not interested in any shrunk mechs in particular. Mostly because I got many of them already.

Oh and you forgot to mention the Stalker.

It's only minimally shrunk from what I can see so I guess people wouldn't be so excited. Most importantly, they are ugly

Before the re-scale I was tossing up between adding Quickdraws, Grasshoppers or Hellbringers (with a view towards wanting to eventually play FP)... Post patch its more like hellbringers or thunderbolts (possibly still Quickdraws as I like JJ's).... But locusts, Battlemasters and Stalkers are all looking very appealing to me.

Maddog, Warhawk, and Battlemaster.

[DarthHias]

You won´t regret the Warhawk.

I loved the Mad Dog model before, with the rescale it is even more interesting (not meta but who cares?). Probably I'll buy it as soon as I have bought my third Timberwolf.
For IS catapult and the locust mastery pack.

Edit: I almost forgot the Awesome, it's on my list after the rescale.

I already had most of the IS mechs that got rescaled.
Already used the Catapults, the Quickdraws, Locusts.

I was thinking of picking up the Dragon, but it still has the most hideous dynamic geometry imaginable, so i think i'll pass.
If only it had a high-mounted RA, like the old TROs... But alas, it does not.

Yeah, MDD was great even before, it's my moneymaker mech, even better than other (S) mechs at that, now it's even more efficient and consistent. In the last 10 games I might have lost psr only once, because even on losing games 500+ damage means you don't lose psr and 700+ means you gain psr even when losing and also a neat 200k cbills (without premium)

Still Dragon is extremely well quirked, both defensively and offensively, ~50% AC5 cdr effectively means you carry the dps of 4 AC5s on a 60 ton mech and you have 2 SRM4 to aid with the burst damage.

WIll buy it when I have enough cbills, since it looks like a premiere dps machine as far as 60 ton mechs go

I'm not a quirk-chaser myself.
Don't really care if a mech is well-quirked or not.

[Y E O N N E]

I want to re-buy Thuds. So small, so punchy. I bet the 5SS and 9S are still decent.

Nowhere as good as it used to be. The DRG-1C with 3xLPL, however, can be a veritable monster.

If you want to do AC/5, Rifleman all the way.

Just bought three Highlanders-IIC. I'm in a bad mood and want to build some real pent up anger.

[Solis Obscuri]

Well, I already own the Awesomes, Catapults, Locusts, Blackhawks, DW... holy **** I own a lot of mechs.

[Lily from animove]

none, becasue thats not a criteria for me to buy or not buy a mech.

[davoodoo]

I actually think of replacing my ebj with tbr, but then ill get my gar soon.
