i was looking through the polls list and i am really surprised since the firemoth came out (the fastest clan light mech) that the Fireball (the fastest IS light mech) is NOT on the list...

Probably because it's even more boring than the Firemoth and also a waste of tonnage on any of the existing maps. It's even more useless given the fact that this game isn't played with split lances but in giant murderballs most of the time.

I dunno, it might be interesting as the "non-JJ alternative to the Spider-5V that only has 2 medium lasers/1LXPL" alternative.
Then again the LCT-3V does fill that role somewhat already, hmm.

This is absolutely a glup shitto tier suggestion, but maybe the Rakshasa? One of my most favorite Inner Sphere 'mechs. I'm not sure where else to suggest this.

IS MAD CAT... Very cool, it would be fun to give something from IS to the clan to implement at the same time

I'm glad that the Shadow Hawk IIC is coming to MWO. I even love how the Special version has the color scheme from the Japanese version of Mechwarrior 1:

According to PGI, the Griffin IIC will never happen because it will be too similar to the Arctic Wolf in terms of gameplay.

The Wolverine IIC Conjurer (Hellhound) would be interesting to see. The Conjurer 4 is an absolute beast and the 8 variant has mix tech with an IS RAC/5, along with MASC.

Phoenix Hawk IIC would be a Clan Charger. But the Standard, 2 and 3 do have unique hardpoints in the torso and all variants are jumpers across the board. That would be interesting to see in MWO.

BattleMaster IIC doesn't exist outside of MechWarrior 2, so the only two variants close to that we will get is either the BattleMaster C or BattleMaster Red Corsair.

Though, I'm sad that we will never get to see the Locust IIC, because it plays similar to the Piranha, but with a slower speed and less weapons.
