OmnIMechs do not feature hardpoint inflation, so they'll always have only the amount of hardpoints required for the TT configuration. For them, the guesswork is in deciding which variants PGI will include.

Brings ecm, energy, missile and ballistic slots.
Sure the One-shot-SSRM2's need to be replaced with SSRM2 with one ton ammo and moved from the legs to the torso, but that's not a big thing.
Yeah, the only other variant WR-DG-03FC won't work with XL and Heavy Gauß in MWO so it needs to be modified as well. More place for PGI to come up with their own variants and as hero they could bring the Croaker from the TRO3055 entry of the War Dog:
"MechWarrior Hubert Turanga: Turanga and Croaker, his modified War Dog, have been staples on the Solaris arena circuits for more than a decade now.
Though the Croaker has almost no original components remaining from the time it walked off GM/Blackwell’s assembly lines twelve years ago, it is one of a handful of ’Mechs that have lasted through more than ten years of near-continuous action. Turanga, a recognized master on the freestyle circuits, has modified Croaker almost to the point of turning it into an OmniMech. In a matter of hours, his techs can reconfigure it with a variety of weapons and equipment, or given a day can even refit it with different armor."
That might could become a Solaris 7 hero that offers a few different load-out possibilities with different weapon slots...making it like a soft-opening of IS-OmniMechs! ;D
Yes, these legs won't allow torso-twist, but that can be fixed and still keep the unique look:

And sometimes, that is a good thing. A break from the "popular demands" here or there can benefit everyone. Plus as Ford and Chevy Sales demonstrate...popular demand and people actually knowing what's best aren't always exactly similar.
But dang would love to see some other "non optimal" designs like the Kingfisher get a look.

I mean, if we can be spared the Hollander that would be cool.
Although I think you're plenty happy with your Vulcan now. It'd be good for the IS to get something good even if not "optimised"

IS forces will realize Omnimechs are not pay to win.

IDK...since I largely stopped paying attention to the forums do to the IRL of 2017, I have found myself less worried about what is "good". I have had mostly good results when I do play with Annihilators, Roughnecks, Fafnirs, Assassins, etc. Hellspawn not so much, but for some dumb reason I like em anyhow. Wow can't believe the Assassin released that long ago, now. Ah well.
Anyhow, TBH, I was surprised by the timing of the Vulcan. I honestly expected a glut of 3025 mechs AFTER MW5 shipped. Every 3025 mech revealed before is that much less "sizzle" for MW5 to claim as "value".
*shrugs* Every mech chosen.. some will love, some will hate. So can't say I'm losing sleep over any of em, anymore. But yeah, I am glad to have the Vulcan.

However, 3025 mechs released now(provided they aren't Unseen), means more money made off the HBS crowd, as it means more mechs for both that game and MW5.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the early Clan mechs in game. Stuff like the Great Wyrm and the Conjuror.
