I'll start. I'm honestly a huge fan of Mech designs that doesn't look humanoid, especially those that doesn't have human like hands. To name a few;
I especially LOVE how the ERPPCs and certai UACs simply fit and look well with the arms. Heck, even regular lasers look nice on them. Can't really say the same for missiles though.
Spoiler
Locust
It "feels" like an aircraft, AHs specifically if you add Machine guns to the CT, Dem legs and wing arms overall fit with the design
Spoiler
Stormcrow (I know, I'm not consistent with my designations)
To be specifically, those armed with PPCs Autocannons and with the silly looking hand removed and without missiles on those arms. Just another one of those Mechs that "feel" like an aircraft.
Spoiler
Cataphract
Well, only the Right half of the Catapharcts. The Left half is an absolute mess. Remove those silly looking hands, and replace them with the one on the right, also slap in a UAC on both Torso and by the Khala, the Cataphracts would be one of my very favorite looking Mechs
Spoiler
Catapult
The resized and remodeled to be specific. To be honest, the Catapult missile flaps is what made me like missile doors in general. Simply put, they look really nice.
Spoiler
Hellbringer
Well, what can I say? It really looks visually pleasing to me. Similar to the Pumas, the ERPPCs realy, REALLY look great on those arms. I also prefer Lokis over Warhammers to be honest.
Spoiler
Jagermechs
Moslty the concept art, I feel like they messed up the actual 3d model in game. Like what it was original designed as, an AA platform. It certainly does look and feel like one.
Spoiler
Awesome
The resized and remodeled one.
The claws definitely look better compared to fingers, but similar to the Cataphracts, flip the Right Arm to the Left, and it looks amazing. The Left Arm fitted with 2 PPCs simply look gorgeous, Also idk why the smoke is going full RGB when I switch the settings to max.
Spoiler
Honorable mentions:
Blackjacks and Rifleman. Similar with the Jager, but the Jager simply looks prettier to me
Enforcers: Loving the arms, especially when fitted with UACs. Something about the torso is just felt weird
Griffin (GRF-2N in particular): I like the arm, missile pod and torso design, but when put together, it just doesn't click with me
Phoenix Hawk: If this wasn't MWO, I'd love the heck out of the Phoenix Hawks. I especially love the pistol like weapon mounts on the hands. To be honest though, the only reason why it's only in honorable mentions is the fact that it doesn't "fit" with MWO's style and aesthetics overall IMHO.
Mad Cat: Big, massive missile pod ears along with the Cataphract arms is what speaks out to me the most. I guess nostalgia plays in, but I feel like they could have modeled it a little differently. I guess it feels a little too fat?
Daishi: My all time fav from MW3. Similar with the Mad Cat, I feel like the Daishi are a little too fat. The cockpit design from the outside also looks hideous-ish. The UAC sticking out of the arm on the Prime's hands also look weird.
Shadowcat: I guess another nostalgia one. I like the overall design, but the hand kinda kills it.
Shadowhawk: One of the humanoid looking Mechs that I actually like. I guess if they made the cannons look larger, as if the Mech was built around the cannons, then TAKE MAH MUNEH.
Imagine the M1128's turret mounted on the Shadowhawk's torso... K-Kimochi~
