Hey everyone. So, as we all know the Bushwacker is the newest 'mech. This makes this the 13th 'mech in a row that has been released/announced and not a single one of them have been a light 'mech, which means at one 'mech per month PGI has completely ignored an entire weight class for over a year. The purpose of this poll? I want to see how many of you are sick and tired of new heavies and assaults and mediums and want a new light. So answer as you see fit. Everyone vote and let's tell PGI what weight class we want. Obviously I want there to be some more lights. But if lights don't win the poll, then so be it. I'm interested to see if I'm just one of few that thinks it's really time for a new light 'mech or two or if I'm part of a majority. I'd like PGI to know that information too, so in case I am part of a majority maybe they will do or say something about it.

If we're talking lights I'll take an Anubis, Flea or Urbie IIC. Gùn if we're dreaming.

Medium - Sha Yu
Heavy - Jinggau
Assault - We've got the Cyclops, I'm happy. But if you're going to push... HawkWolf!

I'd personally like to see the Flea, Wasp, Stinger, Mongoose, or Javelin but I'll take anything 35 tons and under. Literally anything. Even if it's a friggin' Ostscout with one energy hardpoint. I'm desperate, man.

I voted for a light because it's about time for one. It'll have been a year since a light was released. (Jenner IIC)

I'd go for the Javelin, Jackel or Mongoose.

But if I'm completely honest I want the Nightstar, a 95t assault. Assaults are the second least populous class & there's only the Banshee & Executioner repping the 95 tonners.

Lights. Lights all the way. There are a boatload of especially IS Lights that I've been waiting for; and the Clans also have some other nice light mechs that I wouldn't mind seeing. Also, all of these possibilities are in timeline, now (even though ones like the Gun, Red Shift, and Gunsmith are all pretty sweet looking and I wouldn't mind seeing eventually):

IS - Wasp, Stinger, Valkyrie, Flea, Javelin, Mongoose, Hermes, and Raptor

Clan - Dasher (Fire Moth), Commando IIC, Locust IIC, Peregrine (Horned Owl), Vixen (Incubus), Urbanmech IIC, and Piranha

However, if I really wanted to dream I'd add the following mechs to the list of desired possibilities in no particular order. They all have issues in the veins of either timeline, equipment, variants, etc.:

Fireball, Firebee, Flashfire, Porcupine, Scarabus, Tarantula, Mjolnir, Ebony, Red Shift, Gun, Gunsmith, and Valiant.

Lights simply because we are overdue for one and also this would be the best time to introduce IS omnimechs into the game with the first being the Owens. Having a missile light for the IS with the opportunity to boat some lasers if need be would be cool.

Heavy assault something in the 125 tone range.
I consider the atlas to be a medium mech.
TT was designed to have mechs up to 400 tones.
