Because it's hinted by Russ himself.

If it is the Piranha, on the other hand...

MWO has far fewer light mechs than any other class and I estimate that they will release 2 clan + 2 inner sphere mechs the next months. I doubt they will follow the standard model, because I don't think people are going to pay the same amount of money for light mechs as for assault mechs. And Russ has hinted that they may move away from the current mech pack model at some point. This seems like a good time to do so.

Yes please! - Not convinced this will be the case this time around but totally keen!
As for guessing.... firemoth (though would prefer piranha, if it doesn't get mg's nerfed)
Edit: also if it's a firemoth can we have a periscope attachment/module so we can peek over stuff at arms height too

Personally hoping for the Fire Moth.

Because I haven't seen any hints. Just mentions. And if there are hints, who's to say its not some light misdirection.

You are failing to take into account it will be scaled at the 20 ton Locust knee nibbler size. And there is a variant with 5 Energy hardpoints and a possibility for ECM on hero.
Imagine a faster locust with clan small pulse lasers....ouch.

Wasn't the Flea teased like a year or two ago? Also Firefly or Owens for that nostalgia factor from MW3 <3

I do agree though that Clans should get a 20-tonner.

Clan: Comando IIc, Locust IIc, Incubus or Pirahna.
IS: Wasp/Stinger pack or Valkrie with a decent engine cap. Mostly nostalgia but I do well with odd ball mechs.
Also I know my skill. I do well on light mechs up to 160kph. After this my motor skills diminish fast. One of the things that have helped me advance is playing mechs that work for me. Top tier 1 or twitch players may do great past that point, idk.

An omni mech would have a pretty sized XL and low amount of slots leaving very little room for weapons choices even with clans weight/size savings and a IS 20 tonner would have little to no room for 2-3x ML's.
So that leaves 20 ton Clan battlemech's as they can change out engines with the bonus of clan tech.

While this isn't an issue from most of the population, in the hands of a semi competent player, this will become one of the best mech if not the most powerful light in the game
