Word on the screen at MechSpecs is the Raven (for Information Warfare month) followed by the Centurion in February.

Sounds right.

Raven - "...a technological marvel and employs a large number of advanced electronic warfare systems, possibly making it the most advanced light 'Mech on the field, at least in detection and targeting equipment."

Centurion - "...equipped with a heavy and varied arsenal that allows it to strike at enemy units at a variety of ranges." A 50t ride. No Jump Jets. Standard load out; 1xAutocannon/10, 1xLRM-10, 2xMedium Lasers. And the current tech variants (-AH, -AL and -D) would make for good micro-transaction 'Mechs.

Sounds like February could be the Support Role month.

I wouldn't bet on the Centurion.

I'd go with a light mech next as we've just had a few mid range mechs released. Of course, they could throw in another assault mech next but I'm going with a Raven or similar.

With 8 mechs to go before launch I think we MUST see, at some point, mechs like these if not these exactly these:

Awesome (what's a mechwarior game without an Awesome?)
Mauler (we'll need another heavy duty mech in there)
Annihilator (or some other 100 tonner so we have a balance against the Atlas - not many 100 tonners of that era to choose from)
Victor (or Thug or Zeus)
Champion (or Jagermech)
Trebechet
Vindicator (or Blackjack)
Raven (or Panther or Wolfhound)

All these mechs fit into the correct time sphere for the game, are not clan mechs, fill out the weight line so we have mech choices from 30 to 100 tons. I've no doubt there will be others as we go but aren't these really the mechs we've come to love (or at least asssociate strongly with) from previous games in the same time frame?

The Raven is my guess. Although I would love to see the locust.

I agree that it'll be a light, but I don't think it's the Raven. I'm sticking with the Jenner because it's one of the most recognizable light 'Mechs in the game. More so than the Raven IMO.

I'd die if the Vindy was in at release. That and the Hunchback were my absolute favorite mechs.

I just want you to know that I would pilot the HELL out of that thing! Or the Stalker. The Stalker is awesome

Awesome? Awesome you say. Yes Awesome! One 9Q please

[Dankh]

Next up I'm guessing a light. Probably a Raven or a Panther.
Other guesses are:
Medium: Shadow Hawk or Griffin (A House Steiner favorite)
Heavy: Warhammer or Marauder (we got the Cat now we need the "Mad")
Assault: BattleMaster or Highlander

personally my vote is for the Marauder....I want one!

[Caballo]

10$ on the Tempest. Not because that i like it (i find it awful) but it appeared a few ago on the ISN news flash, so...

I really hope that they release Masakari!

I see some bubbles bursting soon.

I think you're right given that we've seen the Jenner in the trailer. Jenner's my pick then.

[djuice1701]

Javelin or Commando or Urbanmech.

They already reveal one Draconis Combine Mech already, the Dragon, so I don't think it's the Jenner, since that's another DC mech.

[Havoc2]

Maybe it's just the fact that I love MW2:Mercs so much, but I want to see the Commando.

Jenner was 1 of the first 3 released (Atlas, Hunchback, Jenner)

DOH! The Jenner has already been released (http://mwomercs.com/media) so It'll have to be something else. I'm going mid weight with something like a Trebuchet.

[djuice1701]

Damn

Still my vote stands, Urbie, Javelin, or Commando..

[sNeepTray]

7th released mech will be Flea IMO

Reason:
~Its a inner sphere mech
~Features a flamethrower from concept art(took it as a hint)
~Its time for a havy or light mech to be released

I would also like Awesome,Uziel or Owens to be released asap
