I kinda hope the April 'mech is the Argus:

Base variant comes with RAC stock, so we might get to see RAC quirks.
It's a 60 tonner with a ballistic arm and only two actuator slots, which opens up possibilities the dragon can't cover.
The 5D brings MASC, which is still rare and would be unique among 60 tonners.
It can tap into that MW4 nostalgia

If we're lucky the Argus could turn out to be a 60t Bushwhacker. I'm concerned mostly about it's side profile but it's possible that it could have a decent frontal profile.

If they add the Dragon Fire I'll pick it up if they keep the crotch cannon,it my only reason of messing with besides performance.

If that happens, PGI should give us cockpit items and decals like this for laughs and giggles:

So much I can do with those if they become decals.

[Will9761]

I also forgot to mention the XXX decal for the Dragonfire. Consequently, the same decals and cockpit item ideas I mentioned could also be used on the Penetrator. Yikes.

A few mechs that need more love and also some good additions to the poll.

Vapor Eagle(Goshawk) needs more love. I really want good 55 ton Clan medium. But (Sorry) Stormcrow and Blanner are ugly, I like the sleek and humanoid the looks of Vapor Eagle. so PGI give Vapor Eagle plz つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

[Will9761]

The Flea was a long time coming, so I shouldn't be surprised.

It would also be the first mech in the game to represent Clan Steel Viper, as they need some faction/totem mech love akin to the Diamond Sharks and Nova Cats.

[Will9761]

Seeing how the Flea is in game, it seems that these are the only exclusive mechs in the Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries lineup:

Hauptmann
Hellhound
Longbow
Templar

It's almost like a number of us wanted and championed for it instead of another jade chicken trashcan that is the blanner. After the Black Lanner dropped, that was a real wow OK moment...

Yep, there are other Steel Viper made Mechs that could be in this game as well such as the:
Battle Cobra
Black Python
Matador - needs more variants
Scylla - needs more variants

It is almost like PGI listened to their fan base and gave them the Clan medium that got more votes.

Battle Cobra - locked standard engine and 100% arm hardpoints

Honestly, I'd be happy with any Steel Viper-branded mech.

Ragnarok.

Lava suit on!

Change my mind!

All I want is a Stone Rhino and a Solitaire.

[Will9761]

The Stone Rhino would be a beast in this game.

It really wouldn't be any better than the Dire Wolf. Actually has less to offer.

[Phlycten]

How about the Mad Cat III? Another 55 tonner Clan Mech wouldn't hurt.
