I think the mechs to be released in the next quarter will be Raven, Centurion, Awesome. This is based on nothing other than my own thoughts about what I perceive to be hints thrown around by the ISNN.

I would love to see:
Phoenix Hawk, Marauder, Battlemaster, and Shadow Hawk make it in. But since they are reseen, I do not know if they make it. Even with Piranha saying HG had nothing to do with the delay after trailer 1, that is still a minefield. My hope is for enough of a redesign to satisfy fans of the old designs while being different enough tonot trigger a HG lawsuit. (And please, none of the reseen designs. Most are terrible. What they did to my Marauder should be punished. I do actually like the Phoenix Hawk design, but the rest are meh at best. Also, these designs technically do not appear in the time frame of the game at this point either.)

Let's see...we've had two heavies, one assault, one light, and one medium. I vote another light: the Panther!

Catapult. Gotta have my Catapult, besides, we need something for our scanners to confuse the Timber Wolf with when the clan invasion starts

Actually, this is a mild breakthrough. With the Clanners soon to be coming and a Timberwolf inevitable, with the Catapult involved that means a Marauder is soon to follow!

i hope it is going to be the thunderbolt but seeing that we already have 2 heavies i think the marauder or zeus

[XxSaberxX]

Hmmm.....I'd settle for my favorite mech of all time, and the most iconic of them all..... Timber Wolf, aka the Madcat


If it absolutely MUST be an IS Mech, I'd vote for....Highlander

The calendar says 12 'Mechs by release.
Good marketing says another 12 (highly anticipated) "unseen" 'Mechs after that...

...for a nominal fee.

Paid.

My guesses are that they will release the more common used mechs most widely described in the novels and the games
ie Mechcommander

highly likely
Awesome (mechcommander, MW3 PM (i think), MW4)
Centurion (MW3PM, Mechcommander, novels (Kai Allard Liao Yen-Low Wang, Redburn facing a Marik Centurion, etc)
Commando (Mechcommander, MW2 Mercs intro)
Raven (Mechcommander and MW4; Mechcommander intro; Liao's commonly used Electronic warfare light mech)

likely
Zeus (Steiner commonly used assault mech)
Victor (Davion commonly used assault mech used by Patrick Kell and also by Victor Steiner-Davion)
Panther (in novels, Kurita's commonly used light mech)
Jagermech (Davion mech commonly used, in Mechcommander, replaces Rifleman)
Raven (Liao's commonly used Electronic warfare light mech)

other
Urbanmech (cheap, and useful for city fighting)

If I had to chose... I'd have to say Avatar or Bushwacker.

Except for the fact that the bushie is far out in the timeline.

really? i used to play the mechwarrior age of destruction clix game and in that game the marauder IIc was an assault
maybe an upgrade?

[SMDMadCow]

They are completely different.
Marauder - 75 ton Inner sphere heavy mech
Marauder II - 100 ton Inner sphere assault mech
Marauder IIC - 80 ton Clan assault mech, hence the "C"

Different mech. Maurader IIC was the clan mech that was in the assualt class.

thanks guys, i always thought that a mech always had the same tonnage whatever the upgrades or variants.
i think i should look deeper into these things before i post them

[Nik Van Rhijn]

Raven.

[Rabbit Blacksun]

going by time lines ...

Wasp/Locust (light)
Pheonix hawk/ Shadow hawk (mediums)
Marauder / Rifleman (heavey)

Dont really know much about Assault since they already apperantly got an Atlas lol

[statler]

they havent released anything lighter than 35 tons yet, so i would have to say chances are a 20 tonner, and the most classic extra light recon mech the locust has to make an appearance eventually. one of the sexier and uniquely designed mechs in my opinion also. i hope they add a lot of its variants tho. the raven is a classic and unique bad *** looking recon mech too, but im just thinking they have to have somethin in the 20 range out next to level out what they have released so far.

of course for a light light mech, i think i would rather bump it up 5 tons and pilot the mongoose with 3 medium lasers, but ill happily take the locust out for at least a few spins.
