There's a fair possibility but the Flea would be terrible and Russ said it's dead to him. The Flashman is basically just the BK. The Thunder Hawk would be fun though.

If I may, my top 3 would be:

- The Nightstar

- Lynx
- Sunder

[Requiemking]

My top picks are:

-Horned Owl

-Grizzly

-Wyvern

-Great Wyrm

Oh, we already are. Eggs are highly nutritious, and we have a device that helps you crack open an egg and easily suck the contents out without any mess or fuss. We're willing to sell you one for 30 c-bills!

Admit it, RestosIII. Diamond Shark training actually consists of just making the training sibkos work at telephone sale callcenters, right?

That, and their combat training is protecting MFBs during Black Friday. We lose a lot of good men on those days...

I want Urbanmech IIC, Bane/Kraken, Piranha. Screw me right?

I assume their combat tests are on Cyber Monday? Cause that seems like it would be a bigger deal.

Mmmmmm. Bane. Legitimately one of the best Assault mechs for running lore builds I can think of. But I also don't know how far we can go with power creep until the game collapses into itself and generates a black hole.

Their trials are actually usually done during the lull periods between holidays, due us not needing large amounts of salesmen during those times. Only combat training within those periods is field work, protecting our products.

Well with the '3 to master' rule going away with the skill tree change it opens up a TON of old mechs that they can put in and support with MW5 and MWO.

Chameleon would be great as a starter mech now.

From 3025 left:

Valkyrie
Ostscout
Wasp
Stinger
Javelin

Clint
Hermes II
Vulcan
Whitworth
Hatchetman
Dervish
Scorpion*

Ostroc
Ostsol
Crusader

Charger
Goliath*

* mechs that are quads and not likely

Now that we don't need 3 of one type for a release, maybe PGI will do combo packs where there are several mechs in one pack, but only 1-2 variants per chassis. This would be neat for things like the Stinger/Wasp/Valkyrie combo as they all look similar as well as the Ostroc and Ostsol.

I'm sorry, I can't keep a straight face when people ask for those. They're just so funny looking.



That's the walking stance of a pimp, not a combat machine.

Hey now, it's just in the process of falling over! No need to be so judgmental!

[Steinar Bergstol]

The original (vaguely based on Macross Zentraedi Battlepods) Osts' art does indeed look goofy (if we're being kind), but have you seen the new official CGL Ostscout? It actually looks good! Yes, I know, it's insane! A sign of the end-times for sure! So if the Ostscout can be saved, maye the 'roc and 'sol can as well?

Here's the old one:


And here's the new and oh-so-much-improved Ostscout:

But.... what's the point of the Ost line if they lose the swagger walk? And yes, I did just say I can't keep a straight face when people ask for it, but that's a good thing for them! If I'm laughing whenever I see one, they'll be able to kill me easily.

For me I just want them redone artistically.

The Sol and Roc are both the same tonnage, so it wouldn't be out of bounds for both to be in one pack. The ostscout could be an add-on for those two even.

I always forget about the Nova Cat. Love its design and lore loadouts, but I've still got my priority on the Mad Cat Mk II.

And my priority is to swat down that knockoff. Let it die. It has no purpose being in game, and should be left to rot wherever it was discarded.

I wasn't hunting down your posts about the Grizzly, mentioning that it was horrid and worthless, but here you are.

Honestly, I have no single mech I am absolutely dying to see in game. If I did, it wouldn't be something as worthless as a knockoff Timby that failed at being a knockoff Timby.

You gotta stay nice and flowy in the training grounds...



On the battlefield...


And most definitely on the way to the afterparty...



I'd love to see the Ost series (and what Alex could do with them) but I'd rather see the Crusader and other 3025/2750 era mechs first. We also need more 40 tonners and lights first though.

I found footage of the Ost line heading to combat.
