Yeah, well, that's only 'cause the Scorpion isn't on the poll (which is absolute bollocks, i say!)

You know the result would be ignored.

Unless the Scorpion or the Grim Reaper or the Blitzkrieg are added to poll I chose "No opinion".

[TheArisen]

My top 3 per weight in the poll

Light,
- Razorback
- Raptor
- Mongoose
(But I'd like the Nexus or Brigand added to the poll)

Medium,
- Lynx
- Men Shen
- Sha Yu
(Shoutout to the Lightray though)

Heavy,
- Dragon Fire
- Falconer
- Toyama
(Anvil would be good too)

Assault,
- Sagitaire
- Fafnir
- Gunslinger
(Longbow would be fun, especially the NAIS variant)

[Jay Leon Hart]

Top 3 lists, eh? I do love me a good list

IS
Light
- Hollander
- Stiletto
- Raptor

Medium

- Komodo
- Men Shen

Heavy
- Hammerhands
- Dragon Fire
- Falconer

Assault
- Fafnir

Heavy
- Hellfire
- Glass Spider
- Predator

Assault

I'm not *that* bothered about any of those Clan Assaults aside from the Blood Asp, but I think I've had enough 'mechs added to the poll

[FLG 01]

Well updated my votes and here are my top3 picks (though sometimes I did vote for other Mechs, too; they are just not my top3).


Inner Sphere

Light
- Razorback
- Valkyrie (pure nostalgia)
- Mongoose

Medium
- Lynx
- Men Shen
- Lightray

Heavy
- Falconer
- Toyama
- Black Hawk-KU

Assault
- Fafnir
- Hauptmann
- Gunslinger

Clan

Light
- no opinion (would not buy)

Medium
- Phantom
- Stooping Hawk
- Vapor Eagle

Heavy
- Arcas
- Crossbow
- Black Python

Assault
- no opinion (would not buy)


PS: I don't think it is fair to vote for Mechs I would not play a lot, much less buy.

Hellspawn needs removed. I suggest the Raijin to take it's place.

Same here, the Hellspawn needs to be removed.

I'm also pining for a Clan 6X ton 'mech to get people to shut up about it.

Well then, gentlefolk, may I recommend the Hellfire, Glass Spider and/or Predator?

The Rifleman IIC outclasses the Glass Spider in almost everything that it does and would make less sales. The Hellfire looks like a hitbox nightmare but the Predator looks rather interesting. It might be a good substitute for the Thresher and would fit the Civil War era timeline. Only downside I see with it is alot of PGI variants since the only other variant that it has is from the Jihad era. If PGI can make the variants interesting enough it could be a good addition to the clan 60 ton bracket.

The Pred has low cockpit syndrome for days though. You could say it's cockpit has multiple meanings from where it's placed.

Yeah I just saw where the cockpit was located on the mech. When I first saw the artwork I thought it was higher mounted. Sheesh, it's dead center to where the autocannons and missiles racks are in these images:





A shame too since it would look like a decent option for the 60 ton bracket if it wasn't for that cockpit location. 11.5 tons of armor but with an XL engine and a somewhat decent load out. Not a big fan of the fact that it only has one other canonical variant that is outside the Civil War era as well either.

Think it would be great to see the Scorpion in game but sadly, without IK, I don't think it will happen.
Wonder if IK could be active on selective mechs?

@Arnold
The cockpit on that mech looks like it is in the belt buckle.

I actually like Glass Spider better than Rifleman IIC, partly because of the more interesting name and also just like the looks slightly better.

ETA: Actually, looking over the list again to redo my votes since the updates.... I'm surprised there's no Thug or Pillager on the list. Definitely two I'd vote for.

Well, I mean, PGI could take some artistic liberties and move the cockpit up to that drum-like thing on the torso....

Sure, just as soon as they move the cockpit up on the Archer...

[Steinar Bergstol]

There is a distinct lack of Daikyu in this poll. This is a problem and needs to be corrected for the universe to be in balance. A relatively fast 70 ton IS mech with a 350 XL engine, 2 UAC/5, an ER PPC, Medium Laser and LRM/5 is not something which should be so shamefully ignored. Also it looks cool.

[TheArisen]

1555 votes is pretty impressive

[Lupis Volk]

I think we need a periphery themed mech pack.
