I vote for Highlander, Zeus, or Cyclops. All three are great Mechs.

My money is on the Highlander for the following reasons.
1) It's a tonnage they don't have yet.
2) It's got Jump Jets, and all the other weight classes have at least one JJ capable mech.
3) It's iconic of early BT.

That said, I'd much rather see a Hatamoto-Chi or Thug (basically ths same mech, they just look different)...or a Zeus. I've got fond memories of the Thug from MW2: Mercs though.

tell me you wouldnt want to own one of these, not only does it have awesome missile fire, but a gauss in the base variant and jump jets.

And I would like the battlmaster myself, but its unseen, so I highly doubt it.

If any unseen is to make it into the game my money would be on the warhammer.

I want the King Crab. Dual AC/20s or Gauss Rifles; I don't think anything currently announced has the capability to mount two ballistic weapons of that size.

The original artwork for the Thug and Highlander are so horrible I dont even want to think about them. On the other hand, they could be due for a gritty reboot. I would like to go old school and see the Cyclops or Zeus next tho.

Jagermech could get two Gauss Rifles on it. One of its variants even states that they mounted that. (JM6-DG)

It's not an assault, though.

I suppose that's true. Problem with the Jagermech though are the sacrifices it has to make to do that. The variant in question maintains the Jager's terrible armor coverage (6.5 tons though in this case at least ferro fibrous) and has an XL engine. Those are some serious durability concerns. The King Crab on the other hand can carry both Gauss rifles, have full armor of a hundred ton mech, and still carry back-up weapons besides. Plus, it's just awesome.

Stone. *************. Rhino.

(It, or rather, the Behemoth, was a late Star League design. Wolf's Dragoons had one in 3025...)

I know. "Shut up, Buckaroo."
