So I am sitting on a load of MC and time is ticking and there are hero mechs on sale.
I can only buy 1 though...
and I have my eye on 1 of 3 mechs
now either I buy a Marauder Bounty Hunter
Or I buy an Atlas The Boar's Head

I need one that would make a good credit grinder... I have a marauder already so I know how that works... but an atlas sounds inviting!

My third option is to sit on my cash and keep it till the annihilator comes out and buy that...

I will advice Bounty Hunter. Boar head is still an atlas meaning its good in limited number of scenarios. BH on the other hand is very versatile and you can do pretty much anything with it as long as it involves some lasers to utilize those quirks.

i only have Boar's Head...it doesn't have heat gen quirks so the 6 energy hard points get wasted...it has a poor torso twist, and only has structure quirks and not armour quirks. It's only got 1 ballistic hard point. The only advantage is that it can fit a 400 engine, but even with full speak tweak it only goes about 69 which is too slow since it is a huge lumbering target.

It used to be good, but it is sitting in my mech garage currently.

For the love of mechageezus get a Bounty Hunter II. It's a lot of fun AND is actually a good mech. This is a rare combo for most heroes.

[Gas Guzzler]

Whatever you do do NOT get the Boar's Head, its probably one of the worst Atlases.

Bounty Hunter is okay, I frankly prefer the Black Widow or the Sleipnir as far as overall power, but the Bounty Hunter is not bad.

I was eyeing Spirit Bear, or Ultraviolet. Of course, I didn't have any money.

They are really meh and about as situational as Boar's Head unfortunately.

Bounty Hunter, Black Widow, Warrant and Sleipnir are good choices. I'd go for Bounty Hunter or Black Widow.

Haven't spent any of my 20k founders credits and looking for a heavy. Any suggestions?

Well, not missiles, and I already have a few ballistic mechs, so let's say energy

Don't care much about clan vs IS

I would advice getting clan omni as a hero mech. They have more options for builds due to omnipods so you won't get bored as easily. For heavies at the moment your choices are Timber wolf, Night gyr and Summoner, all of those are pretty good and fun mechs to play.

[Nema Nabojiv]

The bad thing about omnis is that their quirks attached to 8 pieces, meaning you will lose whatever few quirks they have when you start changing pods.

Thank you everyone for your comments.
I think I'll get the marauder. after all I know how it handles cause I have one already and its a heavy, which means I can take a break from 'leading the charge' in my slepnir.

Won't go wrong with the Bounty Hunter, I got it just for the paint job but it's pretty easy to work with.
