Well, with all this talk of flameware and disappearing mechs and spending creds and what nots, I got to thinking.

What mech really got on my nerves, and why?

Simple answer? The Mother F**ng Thor. Really, I hated that thing. It all stemmed from MW3. For whatever reason, that mech gave me the most trouble! I think it had to do with how well balanced its fire power/rage + JJ’s was. So I really had a hard time working around it. Either way, till this day I still wont pilot the Thor..

Now the Loki on the other hand…

any way! what mechs did you hate, and why?

[TYHBoom]

I always thought the first time you come face to face with an Atlas is always an unhappy moment. Especially when you are running something underweight like a puma or uziel.

[Aescwulf]

to be honest i dont hate any mech.
With me its not being able to make some work with my play style. if i have to pick one it'll be the Dasher for look reasons with its arms pointing up but the lower arm is bent facing you. looks silly in my opinion.

My rival mech goes way back to MPBT: Solaris. The dragon. A good friend of mine and I would have a near daily rematch of his dragon vs my phoenix hawk. H'e win some and I'd win some. Ready to get that feud back going!

Stylistically, I don't like a lot of the IS 'mechs that come after the 3050 TRO,

Hate is stronger than dislike

[Omigir]

The fire fly, that is another mech I hate. and the flee.... Oh god, they *forced* me to pilot a flee for capture the flag back on MW4 Mektek.. and i probably should have played a difrent position... like a mid feilder or something.. >__> if it aint a cougar, i dont belong in it!

shadowcat

not for the mech itself, its an excellent mech that looks great, but because of the people who pilot it.

you almost never see some newbie in a shadowcat. No. Its always some dude with unit tags/rank 8 characters or more long who's been driving that shadowcat variant longer than most people spend on their formal educations.

you never see a shadowcat coming at you and think, "aha, easy pickings," no matter if you are in an atlas or madcat or whatever. No, that shadowcat is almost always going to tear you a new one or at the minimum badly mangle you before going down.

damn those shadowcat pilots, i hate them so much.

part of it is their arm profiles are tiny when facing you in a circle of death, which makes de-arming them difficult, they are fast enough to dodge fire and stay out of twist range on certain mechs, heavy enough to carry fire power capable of worrying any mech class, and armored just enough to brawl. They are totally in the Goldilocks zone of efficiency.

I've come to hate the "unseen," most of all. They've always felt wrong, knowing that they come from Macross, and this is coming from a Macross fan! I know they were an integral part to the genesis of battletech, but standing next to the universe of original content that exists today, they feel like a cameo. Besides, why give Harmony Troll's legal team any more fodder to attack the license?

[CobraFive]

SO I'll just copy my post from the previous thread.

I really hate protomechs, all of them.

Really hate them.

Augh that one is not even the worst one... see also Erinyes, Delphyne...

[Red Beard]

Any mech that is not a Prometheus.

They have hosed every fan of the series... DX< i think they hit trouble with the Warhammer in the Mechwarrior V trailor too, didnt they?

To fight: Annihilators. They were the de facto assault 'mech in MW3 and besides looking constipated were beyond punishing up close.

To pilot: I agree with Omigir on Fireflys. I like fast, agile 'mechs but the lack of torso twist combined with paper-thin armor and almost no ability to mount substantial weapons just made it a death trap.

Than final fight in MW3, i got knocked on my *** so many times by Annihilators.. so yup, add that to my list for sure!

[Daz cat]

probably the 'Chimmera', it's got to be one of the most useless omni mechs i've ever piloted, sure it's got plenty of space for weapons but there just isnt enough weight for it to pack any punch. plus it look like my mother in law's arse.

[Karn Evil]

I agree that the Chimera has negative aesthetic appeal, but I don't get what all the Flea-hate is. Personally, I've always found running around larger mechs, slowly pecking them to death, to be about the most fun you can have in a Mechwarrior game.

[Atlas3060]

When I play the pods, Templar. Nearly everyone there plays a Templar and it is just annoying.
In the board game I just don't like the Hermes II with the exception of one prototype design far into the future. I just don't understand designs where the one big gun is the AC/5.
