The MW4:M radical redesign of the Hellhound was great. I'd enjoy seeing that version specifically show up in MWO at some point.

I mus tbe the only guy who doesn't love that thing. Mind you, better than the original... but that ct/cockpit...just looks off from the rest of the machine, to me.

[Chados]

Bring on the Uziel. Thanks.

[LT. HARDCASE]

I only want the Arctic Wolf, because 6x SRM6, 2x SRM4 coming stock on a 119kph 40 ton mech is hilarious.

[El Bandito]

The only ones I give a damn about are Blood Kite and Longbow. They are already in the current timeline.

Nothing arouses more attention than the previously untouched. Certain MW4 mechs as the last great bastion of untouched mechs due to the timeline and which still has a fanbase.

At 3060, these mechs have become available

Blood Asp --- Introduced in 3060
Novacat --- Introduced in 3059
Sunder --- Introduced in 3056
Artic Wolf --- Introdcued in 3059

Might have to wait more, as these was introduced a bit later:

Mad Cat MK II --- Introduced in 3061
Thanatos --- Introduced in 3061
Fafnir --- Introduced in 3063
Uziel --- Introduced in 3065
Argus --- Introduced in 3062
Chimera --- Introduced in 3063

I would think Blood Asp and Novacat is a great way to start for Clan, and the Sunder for IS, though looking for other mechs for the IS.

The Hellhound aka Conjurer actually goes back to 2829 and can be introduced anytime and independent of this.

Cut-Off at 3060? Ya'll already know my answer...

Nova Cat


3067? I'd still pine for the Nova Cat. That said... One could easily persuade me into stumping for:

Colossus

[4rcs1ne]

Since I love playing Cicadas, I would really like a Strider.

[Ruar]

Dervish, I've always been a fan of it even if it's not the best out there and not one of the new mechs.

I think there is still plenty of room for some classic designs to be put in the game with access to upgraded technology.

Enforcer III and Helios also look nice.

Black Watch would be fun as well.

[ccrider]

Axman, but assuming no melee, templar 3 cause it's so pretty.


Clans......damn, I already have a splat backer. What else is needed?

[Queen of England]

I might be the only one, but I'd love to see the Jinggau.



Moving to 3067, the Anubis is kind of neat - a unique-looking 30-ton light mech with 4M 1E. It comes stock with Stealth Armor, though so it might be too advanced even after the timeline bump. (Also, I don't know what stealth armor would do that ECM doesn't do already in MWO.)

[Requiemking]

On IS, assuming melee, Scarabus. Locust top speed stock on a 30 tonner with a hatchet? Sign me up. If no melee, then it's a tie between the Firefly and the Hornet. On one hand, the Firefly would give IS a 30 tonner that isn't as easy to tear apart as a Dragon. On the other hand, a stock 150 engine on a 30 tonner is going to be painful. As for the Hornet, its an adorable 20 ton armored ball on legs with bottle rockets strapped to it's back. What more do you need?

For Clans, all I really want is the Howler. Partially because it is the only 20 tonner that isn't basically a Locust clone in some fashion, and partially to irritate all the Trollfish fans.

[Anjian]

The best designs for the Anubis comes from the Dark Age sets. The over top torso though would present some hit box problems.

[Anjian]

The Templar would be great too. Cover mech for the MW4 Mercenaries box, along with the Long Bow.

[Quicksilver Aberration]

The Raptor II, because I'm horrible and it looks cool despite where it came from:
