Omnimech with 119kph top speed and no ferro, no thanks.


It has 10 tons of pod space optimally armored and runs at 121 kph in MWO. It's basically a pocket BJ -1X. Lack of ferro is a blessing, else it would have no room for stuff.

There is the Hammerhands, 75t with AC10s instead of ppcs. If I recall correctly, there are some in museums & personal collections.

Its a little slow for a 25 tonner... like a Mist Lynx.

I guess it could do 2 LL and just kind of poke about...

It could be the hokey pokey mech? Because that's what it's all about.

But it can deal an alpha of 40-42 to the MLX's 28, with infinitely better weapons placement.

It won't be comp, but it will be solid and, most importantly, fun.

There's also the 30t Hussar that ComStar uses... But I don't wanna hassle you so I'll just leave it at that.

Explain. How do you get there? 8 MLs?

The Hussar is basically just a Spider 5V with the CT hardpoints moved up to the top. It would be atrocious without pretty substantial weapon quirks...which is an unlikely prospect under PGI's new policy.

Hmm, not sure how I missed one of the ugliest mechs in existence.

No on the Hammerhands or any other primitive/AoW designs though. They're not in active military use at all (ie extinct in TT terms) as of 3053 so I didn't bother including them.

This redesign of the Hussar is pretty good.

Well the Mackie would be a neat little easter egg (literally) but if we ever see it it will be one of those April 1st things like the urby was.

Or 6xML + 2xMPL. The C configuration has 8x Energy hardpoints. The SRM pods will be fun, too, I bet.

At least the Mackie has art work done for it by Alex...

And that art work makes it look badass!

Your list is good, make no mistake. However, you are missing a couple of things. Number one, I think you should add a "Most requested variant" list. These are variants of existing mechs that people have been wanting in game for some time. The two I know about are the DRG-5K Grand Dragon and the BJ-2 Blackjack. Number 2, I think the Firefly should be added to the list. Its a tanky 30 tonner that could add some variety to our current list of 30 ton speed machines.

The Rapper has 3 Poordubs, which will just amplify the heat issue.

Here is a simulation of the heat efficiency (or lack thereof) of Yeonne's build:

Hoping for Clint Hero mech called "Eastwood", complete with large ballistic.


"Was that six AC/20 rounds, or seven? In all the confusion I kinda lost track myself. So, you gotta ask yourself, cherry CT punk - you gotta ask yourself. Do I feel lucky?"

Oh right, the Firefly. The lightest mech in MW3 (if you ignore the Elemental).

wow, I had no idea there was so many mechs still in the timeline. Which is unfortunate, because that is one less reason to advance the timeline.
