Probably my Founder's pack, to be honest...though I was pretty excited for the Marauder and Warhammer (out of principle).

Kodiak

Because it's a bear.

I have preferred the clan invasion mech packs. Ever since they have gone into singular releases I don't buy them anymore except when a mech that is Jade Falcon. Although i did buy the Viper but that was only because there wasn't a clan omini mech pack since ages.

The reason that I prefer the invasion mech packs is that the singular mech packs are too expensive.

Kodiak... was my first pre-order and patch day new mech experience. Previously had ordered other packs after they well after they been released.

Kodiak. I saw it being modeled in stream, and got the hero package. Still the prettiest mech I own.

None. Not a single one of them has Hero Assault Missile Boat.

Can't the Spirit Bear mount like 4 LRM 20s? o.o

EDIT: LRM75 if you use a standard engine. The toughest Kodiak yet!

Somehow, I don't think 4 racks on a 100 ton 'Mech makes for a very satisfying missile boat.

The Phoenix Pack, I had wanted a Shadow Hawk and Battlemaster in MWO, and that made it happen. However I almost returned to PGI during the dark days of 2013.

That's too few. As I said in another thread...

Longbow Hero with 6 missiles slots, or no buy.

Kodiak. I had one as a desktop wallpaper for years and always liked how tough it looked and was. Seeing it get into the game and actually also having some of the best build combinations of any mech was a great thing for me. Not only that, but they added MASC to the Spirit Bear. I had loved brawling and was using an Executioner as my main mech previously, as it was my second favorite mech.

On top of it all it was a pretty cheap mechpack considering the deal I got. Absolutely no regrets on the purchase of it, PGI could do a lot of stuff better, but the KDK pack passed my requirements on all accounts.

EDIT: on top of that they went and fixed the hitboxes on the thing so it could brawl well, saving the Spirit Bear from just being the best clan assault LRM boat in the game. Really though, its great as an LRM boat if you did really want an assault mech for LRMs. Its high speed allows it to get into positions like a medium mech, but it has the armor and firepower of a 100 ton monster. On top of that it has a ballistic hardpoint and a couple energy slots to give it some decent punch up close rather than being entirely useless. It can even peek up and fire the LRMs and dodge back with the MASC in some situations with the high mounts and high cockpit. I'd put it leagues above the Warhawk LRM boat or the Highlander IIC.

Leave your T1 mech out of this. Back before anyone had Timbie, I was piloting 6 missile slot A1. I want that back--but upgraded to Assault class, with +30% C-Bill bonus.

Phoenix Hawk would have taken it had they fixed the Special

hmm... not easy to decide.
I'd start with the urbie because it was the only mech where we had to convince PGI we want it and we actually got it which was quite an achievement.

but overall... I mean I bought the phoenix pack before I even realised what I see, just because of the unseens. And then there was the Marauder, *the* marauder so I'd say it was the marauder that got me hyped most.

However, it was the beauty of the catapult that got me into the game. Not the promises, not the trailer or the great ideas back in the day. I saw it and I knew that is my mech.

[Baulven]

I am not on the maurader IIc and hopefully someday the whammie IIc. Those were my old to do mechs in previous mechwarriors. I would love a locust IIc personally as well. Notice they are all battlemechs because they screwed the omnis bad.
