I want to see a Zeus but I wouldn't be surprised if the Catapult is next because it looks sort of like a Mad Cat, one of the more iconic designs.

Though based on how many threads there are about it, it sounds like the community would be most appeased if the Urbanmech was the next confirmed design.

i want to see the Warhammer, i mean at least a good reseen version of him

(if don't, based on that Reseen warhammer from the trailer that one is Freakin perfect)

[Unclecid]

i would love to see a Wolverine.

and a Thunderbolt

and i would much prefer an Archer over the catapult..it is a far superior fire support mech.

note - the K varients are by far the superior choice.

I would love too see one of the horrendously ugly/completely impractical mechs get the "debris touch". aside from that, ill take what I can get

If they're gonna show off an Archer, show off something that can use its secondary weapons without massive overheat, like say the -S variant.

[Grithis]

Dervish. Good, solid support medium that can still hold it's own up close. Very ammo dependant, but well balanced, otherwise.

well..first the secondary weps are there for use after a target gets too close.
us dracs for one aint afraid of a lil heat and would much rather fire a pair of LL one at a time then add EVEN MORE ammo to a mek pre-CASE.

i guess steiner pilots prefer to increase risk of ammo explosion then possibly ruin their perms.

[Oswin Aurelius]

I think they'll do one of two things. They'll showcase some mech that is important to their Information Warfare gameplay, be it a commander mech or a scout (maybe even BOTH! It's Christmas, we can hope).

OR

They'll release another medium or heavy brawler mech to show everyone it's not going to be all about the Assault (you know, in case they didn't make it clear enough already).

One ton of that ammo is going to be inferno rounds. Poooooor little hot running -K variant. Beyond that, the fluff has Steiner pilots shaving part of their heads to cope with tight fitting hats; you can't perm only part of your head. We're all about the style in Steiner town.

[BattleBadger]

It would be cool if they got a quadraped

[yingjanshi]

Give me a Vindicator!!

Anyway following the 'Mechs they've released so far it seems to me that they are going with the 'Mech list from all the BattleTech Boxed Sets since the 4th Edition: namely the Commando, Spider, Jenner, Panther, Assassin, Cicada, Clint, Hermes II, Whitworth, Vindicator, Enforcer, Hunchback, Trebuchet, Dervish, Dragon, Quickdraw, Catapult, JagerMech, Grasshopper, Awesome, Zeus, Cyclops, Banshee, & Atlas. Of course with only 4 'Mechs out its really far to early to say.

[caligula21]

the warhammer would be nice

[EDMW CSN]

Urbanmech. This thrash can will put that AC-10 shell into your atlas rear and detonate your LRM ammo

[Canned_Dman]

Nobody has put forth the 3025 charger!
Quite possibly the stupidest mech design I have ever had to use!
If you don't know what it is, 80 tons with 5 small lasers 5/8/0

[zaitsev]

They need to release another better looking mech that looks more humanoid... Centurion.

[Black Sunder]

Need to see the Valkyrie. I have music for it too.

[Cyber Carns]

What I really want to see is what he is going to do with the unseen mechs. How is he going to change them to make them look different but still recognizable ie Warhammer, Shadow Hawk, Pheonix Hawk.

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

AXMAN

[Mason Grimm]

We've been speculating over at MechSpecs what the next mech to come out is and not once was the Axeman mentioned

I think the lack of physical melee combat really puts a damper on the Axeman purpose. Ya know? Too bad too cause it really is kind of a cool mech with an "Against the Grain" approach to combat.

[Rakett]

Agreed...there is no point to putting an Hatchetman or Axeman in until physical combat is worked out...and even then, only if the Hatchet and Axe (or opponents ripped off arm) can be coded in as clubs.

And ok...I'll toss my votes in for the adds:

Light: Locust
Medium: Shadowhawk
Heavy: Warhammer
Assault: Zeus
