I know.

I posted 3, so you can pick which ever one is your favorite out of the 3 and that one would be my favorite.

It was a hard choice out of the 3 so I'll let you be the deciding factor.

Sorry, not a dating counselor.... your commitment issues are yours to fix.

Whichever one I'm working on (redacted).
Second is whichever one I worked around the time of it's release, several months later (supernova)

Because if a 50 ton mech with an assault mech's firepower isn't enough of a reason to stop and say "daaaayyyyem!," the incredibly good look of the mech is.

[Quicksilver Aberration]

I will admit, the Huntsman does look pretty awesome.

I do like it a ton, but feel the legs are about 10-15% oversized .... if they changed that... man the sexy would be uncontainable. As it is...it's just superfly.

But serious.....

What's another amazing mech that's unloved..

The Puma if we ever got I would throw up there. A psuedo medium.

Saint Ives Blues is a vindicator sure but it's one of those special Mechs. The Huggin or the old Boom Raven too.

But the Vindi and Hunchback have my top two with an Urbie in close 3rd.

And waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy at the bottom is most of the clams.

It's true.... I'm like Pariah's halfwit kid brother in these things...and considering how halfwitted NovaCats are to begin with.... that's saying something... (too much NovaCat Ganja, I reckon)

Hey. Bishop do you think well ever see some of these other Mechs like the Uziel or something interesting like that quadraped ERPPC Juno jetting thing that I can never remember the name of?

I do think the Uziel and irs ballistic cousin are two very unloved Mechs mostly due to their EBJ width.

I think we will see the Uziel. It's actually a pretty popular mech thx to MW4. How good it will be... now that will be tough to tell.

I appreciate this.... truly.

[Dr Hobo]

I do suspect that the Uziel will come eventually.
However I would like to see some quads in the game. But that's probably too hard to animate or something.

The Flea could be fun if we didn't get CryEngine.

I think the Stiletto is another cool mech. Would love it in MWO for it's smaller than a Raven SRM spam

So hard to pick a favorite. It is so close between the Marauder, Catapult K2/Jester, and Ebon Jaguar for me.

ok..ok...

• 1st: Catapult K2/Jester
  
• 2nd: Marauder
  
• 3rd: Ebon Jaguar

The K2 just beats out the Marauder. The Marauder is very good looking IMO, but the K2 is just a tiny bit more cooler. I think a lot of it has to do with it being an Iconic mech (Catapult at least) and that it still was the most exciting design of the Catapult ever put into a video game. The Marauder is sleek and looks powerful, but the K2 just has enough of that chunky IS styling and yet still looks sleek and menacing.

The EBJ is also up there, but I think the main thing holding it back is all the bare metal (grey) and the big arms. Still though, being my third favorite looking chassis still shows that it is cool in my book.

And why?

But what is the mech, when you see it, be it on game, in your mechlab, whatever, that you just pause and think..... Man.. That thing is frikking cool.

Hmmm...
The TT illustration of the Thunderbolt is/was the coolest to me. Alas, there is something about the in game model's aesthetic that is just lacking to my eyes...mostly the fact that the right arm gun is anemic. Oh well.

So, relying on your precise phrasing, and only looking at the coolness of the models I see in game, then I gotta go with the King Crab. The thing just looks bad ***.

Marauder for me hands down. Loved that mech from the time of tabletop. Second would be of course the locust ^^

To be fair the TT launch of the cland was as disastrously salty as it was in MWO.

I would say it's iconic and it is a good mech but it's not one of those unloved gems.
