And why?

No I'm not asking what is the ubertier meta Gundam. I can look up metamechs.com, too.

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.

(Correct answer is obviously Urbanmechs, but I need to gauge the level of Urbielightenment around here.....)

I've always had a man crush on the Mauler because of the cartoon.

Any answer to the question is subjective and I don't think Urbanmech to be the correct answer either.

I think the Griffin would be near the top





we just need to talk PGI into the 60 ton Griffin for the IS and the Griffin IIC for the Clan

the Marauder IIC is based upon one of the most iconic 'Mechs in existence..

Touted as one of the most effective 'Mechs of all time..

A reputation I'm never going to argue against.

I know it's not in the game (yet) but the Avatar is still my favorite mech of all time.

I second this.

But my ingame favorite at the moment is the summoner. Even though it's not that great.

I've felt about the King Crab like that before, I love the version that PGI created. Its one of the few mechs that I like the PGI model better than the tabletop. I can imagine playing cards & having a few drinks loungin on the back of it on a dusty hot world.

As a runner up I'd say the Bounty Hunter, its great piloting a marauder, let alone a famous one.

What is a Thor? Some stravag inner sphere Gundam?

Hunchback. Why you say? It requires finesse you just don't often see in this game.

Like you said Bishop you're playing mental chess except you're thinking three or four moves ahead.

Vindicator is the same way,but you're thinking half a game ahead. You play like a medium yet you're playing like a scout.

With a Hunchy I have my shoulder mounted subwoofer of doom. With my Vindicator I have my wrist mounted Ironman cannons.I wish I could get an Ironman like camo on my Vindis.

It's a tough one between these two:


King Crab: Thinking of it in a lore-perspective, mounting two of the most powerful mech-mounted weapons and then some is badass, the King Crab was feared during the Star League, and even more so during the Succession Wars. Alex did a fantastic job with his take on it.


Centurion: I just love the gladiator aesthetic to it, maybe its just nostalgia because it was my first mech in the game, but it really demands skillful piloting to get any use out of it. I wish that they would rework the autocannon and missiles since the modular weapon pass borked some of its charm, namely the massive cannon and the missile bay doors.

The perfect Mech that every one tried to achieve was achieved here!!!!!! 95t Assault 4/6 with x4 cERPPC and 30 DHS as well as having max armor possible, the caveat to it being perfect is that the arm cERPPCs shrouds were reinforced so it does full punch damage even though it does not have hands.

First 2 are the venerable, respectable classics and the last is terror that looms over the battlefield that drops the morale of the opposing force into either submission or destruction.

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.
