You're welcome to your opinion on the BLanner, but I'm afraid your opinion is a minority one.

Bring on the Lannie!

There majority has famously been wrong, many times before. For decades the majority bought Ford automobiles, for instance. And they still watch the Voice and listen to Justin Beiber.

Not sure how tightly I'd identify with the majority.

Blood Asp? Snooze... Black Lanner... talking about nostalgia grognards wanting bad... how the freak do you explain that? Ain't no nostalgia for that pile of crap....

I mean either way, at least the Clans would getting a special mech along similar lines of the Wasp/Stinger or dare I say, the Vulcan.....

I'm sad, you didn't even get triggered by my shiptoast about your Vulcan.

[Archangel.84]

Don't I remember somebody saying the Lanner nostalgia is partly from MW4 where it had 360 rotation?

Either way, if nothing else I'm really glad to see the Dervish winning! Always thought he was overlooked and underappreciated. Men Shen or Starslayer would make me happy too.

That's what they will be saying about it in MWO too. Hopefully it won't fade into obscurity like the Kintaro has though.

nope. Your inability to understand it's beauty saddens me, but is not sufficient to trigger rage. At least you understand the appeal of the Assassin.

still no vulcan bro? #triggered!

Also...color me impressed with the overall IS results so far.

Osiris, Dervish, Thanatos/Crusader and Fafnir?

We could do a LOT worse. And definitely a lot more boring.

Clans on the other hand, a bit more predictable, and aside from the Nova Cat, something of a let down.

Blood Asp? Snooze... Black Lanner... talking about nostalgia grognards wanting bad... how the freak do you explain that? Ain't no nostalgia for that pile of crap....

Now, the Phoenix Hawk IIC? that is interesting. I'll admit, I'm not familiar with it (clearly, I'm insufficiently grognardy) but a IIC embiggened version of one of my favourite Mechs? I'd be all over those apples.

I get the weeaboo draw of the Men Shen, but watching the Starslayer slip behind the Dervish has me puking on my floor.

Man whats really sad is the Lynx was doing so well initially but then totally lost steam.

I'd be cool with the Thanatos but if the Dragon Fire could rally somehow that'd be epic.

[Kin3ticX]

I kinda wanted a thunderhawk but its probably a bit of a fringe mech

I never understood why it is given so little love when it is THE lmao3gauss mech, even outside of the context of MWO due to the arbitrary 2gauss limit.

I just realized that this poll lacks the Guillotine, y u do dis? Some of the future variants ahead of 3067 also have the advanced PPC variants in them, so it is a decent tech demonstrator with some old man appeal.

It got more awesome.

[Tordin]

I tried to vote for as many clan OMNI mechs rather than clan battlemechs, there are many left to include and I feel omnimechs shouldnt be overshadowed by their second line IIC battlemechs. Omnis should represent the clan more than their IIc battlemechs. Same for IS, pure IS battlemechs shouldnt be overshadowed by possible upcoming IS omnimechs.

Also when I voted for the Conjurer, I meant the MW4 version of the conjurer.

The Men Shen is an interesting omni, with Stormcrow speed and MASC and enough pod space to do something like triple LL or 2 ER PPC. MASC is cool!

Added it, but you should realize that the fact that it wasn't brought up until now does not bode well for its popularity :/
