Seriously, what mechs are you looking forward to seeing with the civil war time-push?

I can't wait for the Fafnir. I'd be tempted into early adoption of the Thanatos too...

[Armored Yokai]

the fafnir with 4 rac's is going to hurt like crazy

[Imperius]

Fafnir
Blood Asp
Stone Rhino
Hellhound/Conjurer

I got my pet mech though so I'm happy and won't be pushing for an more mechs, but I can gladly give your topic a reply bump

[Requiemking]

Howler, Wraith, you know, stuff that hasn't been in a MechWarrior game before.

Don't be silly. You want a Mech which had a pivotal role in the narration of the FCCW, was common enough to be on the RATs of the LAAF (and its signature Mech, no less), and would be very good in MWO?

No, you get the Annihilator which does not show up in any FCCW story, is hardly seen outside Wolf Dragoons (who had no part in FCCW), and will be at best mediocre.
Also you get the Uziel. You, a Mech which does not show up in any FCCW story, is hardly seen at all during the FCCW, and will be at best mediocre.

That's just PGI: they label their Mech pack "Civil War" and both of the chosen IS Mechs had little to nothing to do with the Civil War (unless we talking about the Dragoon Civil War).
We can only hope they come to their senses and release some better Mechs for the IS.

Uziel was picked because popular demand. As for the Annihilator I have no idea where that giraffe came from.

Love for MW3, I presume.

Maybe, I just saw zero chatter for it honestly.

Fafnir could be on Tukayyid planet, you have to capture first...

[Johnny Z]

Sting Wasp Valkyrie. Although the Fafnir will be really popular I think.

In before "That Guy" says "Quads".

Well in CK16's poll the Uziel and Anniihilator were the top IS mechs.

Nightstar is an IS or clan assault? Either way for the time being I'd rather have Blood Asp and Fafnir. If it's a heavy then sure I'll consider supporting it.

[WrathOfDeadguy]

Since we're already going to be receiving the Uziel and Cougar, my wishlist is as follows (not all Civil War era, but all in timeline):

Lights:
1. Toro
2. Hollander
3. Razorback
4. Urbanmech IIC
5. Raptor

Mediums:
1. Marshal
2. Talos
3. Hatchetman

Heavies:
1. Argus
2. Argus
3. Argus
4. Argus
5. Argus
6. Argus
7. Argus
8. Argus
9. Argus

Assaults:
Meh.

It's an IS assault, 95t. I don't think the Fafnir needs to worry about competition tbh.
