Well, quite a lot of mechs actually...

Firemoth (Dasher)
Piranha [depends]
Raptor [first IS omni? gib]
Owens [soon?]
...

But I am turning broke from MW: O, I am not exclusively focusing on mechs I want/ need (which is want x2)

Cougar and Fafnir are very high on my list, some other 'Mech's high on my list are the Argus, Bushwacker, Mad Cat mk II (and III... and IV... and Mad Dog II, III, and IV... but each version later is further down the time line).
To be honest...

One 'Mech I will eat up and throw all my money at will be the Hellhound, the MW4 concept, which is an omnimech instead of a BattleMech, it looks so cool and it would be awesome tbh =L

I think that is how it looked in Mechwarrior 4.

Its pretty heavily redesigned, considering that it is essentially the Wolverine IIC. Of course, that is a dirty word in Clan space so they called it the Conjurer.

I think we can all agree that is the better looking version of it though.

I could probably be tempted to pay for some Supernovas. I don't think it would be very good. Just a slightly heavier, jump capable Warhawk in many ways, but it is probably the last mech to have any nostalgic value over me. I have all the other I would want.

Hahahahaha. Not gonna drop a dime for new mechs anymore. However, once it is created, and is available for C-Bills, I WANT MY BLOOD KITE DAMMIT! It is well within timeline and PGI can make missing variants.

You kidding me? I'd never heard of this before, but that thing is probably the most beautiful killing machine I've ever laid eyes on.


I admit, all I can see when I look at the Blood Kite is this:

Honestly, more of the same ol' bipeds just don't do it.

Quads move differently and ride differently. We need machines that actually operate differently than the zillion or so previous ones. (We need a break from the pure deathmatch modes of the game itself, but knowing PGI they'd be more likely to add more robots than anything else.)

Melee weapon equipped 'Mechs would be the harbringer of an entirely new chapter of combat- physical attacks. Aside from the specialists, it'd frequently revolutionize brawlers in general, including the terror of the Atlas and it's AC/20 of a kick or the brute force of it's PPC-like fists crushing a target as the AC/20 + SRM 6 combo obliterates entire sections.

Of course, even more so would be things like the Axman sawing off parts with it's axe. Even at point blank ranges, a heatfree weapon might be a game-changer.

I'm pretty sure my wallet will kept close no matter the Mechs they deliver.
Anyhow it would be an extraordinary long month when the early bird is for
Crusader (in name and look)
Shootist (I bring war)
Thug (nu komm ye dummes kleines Kätzchen)
Night Star (this Mech is just arisen)

Most Mechs. Hardpoint inflation, agility quirks, engine cap exceptions, and myriad other factors can make almost any Mech awesome. It's up to PGI to decide whether or not to make them sub-par to begin with... however if new Mechs always meet or beat par, then you have Power Creep...

Lately I've been rolling in a K2 Catapult (2xAC10 4xML) and it's pretty awesome that the first heavy mech in MWO is once again fun to play, even after 4 years after being introduced into the game. HBKs and Cents are solid performers in Scouting mode, Jenner (Oxide) is a top tier light and Atlas (S) is the king of brawl.
While there has been a notable hardpoint inflation (Nova, Stormcrow), it's not all that bad. And when the "power draw" system limits alphas to max 30 damage balance will get even better.
