Battle Cobra

Battle Cobra IS Version- On a side note, PGI should sell the IS variant along with its Clan counterpart as a mech pack, similiar to the Arctic Wolf's BattleMech and Omnimech variants and use it as the basis to make the other IS Omnis.
Vapor Eagle (Goshawk)

So... I would rather not because I have left off melee-centric mechs from the poll.. it would be inconsistent to add them now... How many variants came with a sword?

Was Thanatos the number one heavy when it was released for the IS? Was Hellspawn the number one medium for IS when it was released?
Because they were both IMO, pretty bad choices. Now that opinion is subjective, I know. But I think Blood Asp was #1, as the Clan assault, and it was just selected.
So what gives with mech selection by PGI, is it strictly #1 only per slot, or is there a greater method to the madness?

Post CW Escalation, I believe every 'mech has been leading it's category. It's possible I've misremembered, but I doubt any of them were worse than #2.
Given that IS Light is the category with the longest time since last release, you should perhaps be bracing yourself for the Hollander... with a back up plan of Owens. Oh boy.

My God, how bad would those two mechs be in MWO. And would they actually lock the SHS in the Owens?

It didn't initially have that AC/20, that was added after the forum complained about its initial configuration being garbage.

Alex whom does the initial art for the mech, takes the official TT art (99% of the time it is from the TRO, Bushwacker is a notable deviation, as it takes TRO cover art) as a base line for what he does, then makes it fit the MWO feel. Going from the official art from TT, does take some assumptions on our parts, but those assumptions are based on how game mechanics work, as well as knowledge of how stock mech builds look in the record sheets.
For instance with the Uziel, I had said that it would have hill humping issues, based on the distance between cockpit and shoulder mounts, that issue would revolve around getting XL checked before it could return fire.... and we all saw how that turned out, if they try to hill hump, they get XL checked.
When it came to the Bushwacker, I said she could tank like a boss from the front and be XL friendly from the front, but flank her and she is all ST... just like the game model turned out to be.
All of that was based on educated guessing with knowledge of how the miniature looks, some 20 years of TT experience, Sarna art and some trial and error in MWO.
