Best Return On Investment

So.. I bought a TBR-C(C) and a Warrant (big "Mad-Cat" fan from my time in MW3 + 4) and I'm looking for some additional... well placed investments. Whats a good way to start? another (C) variant for an other spec (I don't seem to be able to save different specifications on one chassi-Slot)
Premium time?
...
I'm thankful for every suggestion.

Then, I wanted one mech of each class, built in the style I play. That way, for a drop deck, I can have weight classes that I can mix and match to meet maximum weight allowances and accomplish what I like to do on the missions....
Play for your goals: for me, each new mech class...
A note: finding a "team" can be a little complicated and tiring.... That depends on what style you enjoy and how competitive you want to be.... My advice, and I've been playing just over 6 months, is "figure out what you really like" in this game and then, start looking for others to play with. I found a nice team because they aren't competitive and all they want to do is have fun. I doubt you'll see "BR" in any competitive mode anytime soon.
Read the forums for ideas about mech loadouts. If you have a question, create a forum piece and ask.....remember, the answers are from players that may have different goals so think any changes through before you spend anything.....
Most of all, HAVE FUN and watch, emulate and find a niche that fits what you like !

I don't want to ruin your fun, but let me get one thing straight: You are not "Investing" anything if you purchase content in this game (or any other game).
You spent your money and then it is gone.

Well then, try a mech from every weightclass and try all the different weapons and see what you like most.
Browse these forums for beginners guides (there are plenty) as MWO has quite a steep learning curve.
Stay away from Factionplay till you have at least one month of experience.

I wouldn't buy champion mechs honestly, and certainly not DUPLICATE ones just to save yourself the time of re-configuring in the mechlab. Champions are just normal variants that come pre-configured to something approximating a meta build, and have the XP bonus. But XP really doesn't matter for an individual mech in the long-run, so it's kind of a throwaway bonus. If you're going to buy mechs with money, buy Hero mechs as they come with a much more useful C-bill bonus and are unique variants that cannot be had any other way than spending money on them.
Mech Bays are your other good option for MC spending, as you can only get a limited number of them for free via faction rank rewards in CW mode. But don't go slap-happy with them until you're sure you're committed to the game, and honestly I'd wait for them to go on sale -- we actually just had a 50% off mech bay sale.
As far as investing your time and energy? I'd work on getting a mech in each weight class so that you can tailor your play sessions to how you're feeling that day. The Timber Wolf is an excellent start as it's such a high-quality mech with a very versatile array of builds you can go for. Ultimately you'll have to decide whether you prefer IS or Clan tech, but I feel that Clan tech is better to start off with as the Omnipod system allows you to get a whole lot of bang for your buck on mechs -- sure, you might spend 7 million c-bills on an Arctic Cheetah as opposed to 5 million on a Raven. But you can totally change the loadout of your cheetah for a few hundred thousand more worth of omnipods, rather than having to buy another several-million Raven chassis -- and that's before you get into having to spend millions MORE on engines for those other IS chassis, rather than the one fixed engine for your Omnimech chassis.

C-bill mechs will always be your best investment because it only cost you game time to earn it. I would only spend real cash on a Hero or Champ if you already have fun with that chassis.

another good mech at 50% off is the shadow hawk 2H(c) It is a great mech for 3 UAC2's, and comes with an XL-265 which is nearly a 5m c-bill engine, which i use in tons of IS builds.
all that said, Seeing you went clan side, you might wanna stick with it for now. Save your MC for a later date, and just play around with your two timbers. Save your GXP for later use, and just have fun.
Try 3 ERML's + 2 LPL's in that timber C, the warrent i am not sure, maybe a 4 MPL+4 SRM4 build? those are always good fun!
I'd say play 50-100 matches for now, and see how things go. give a 4ERML+uac10 build a try. Maybe a pair of LRM15's with some ERML's too. Just play around. Don't be afraid to buy some extra omni pods to make new builds
Use this site, to play around with builds and see what you can come up with. http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/

The Mechs prize, additional omnipods or enhancements, costs for the skilltree, weapons you do not already own...
Then adjustments and changes when you realize something is not working.
If you now flesh out a whole FP dropdeck those 100 mio C-bills will melt away like a Moth flying into a flamethrower.
