Can't think of anything more retarded than this

Well.. how about all the other Protomechs? The Harpy even comes with 'mechanical wire hair', fairy wings and radar-dishes as mouse-like ears. The only Protomech that looks ok is the Hobgoblin...

anyway, luckily, Protomechs are far in the future and i doubt we'll ever see them ingame.

None in particular, I just don't want to see "Original Designs" because to me often they take away from the original lore. Like the Ragnarok (or whatever it was called) in MechAssault... or the Hellspawn... Or insert any other 'original concept' mechs made by the devs and not the original Fasa guys.

Why oh Why so much clan hate? I recall back in MW2 when all we had to look forward to was either a clan based add on or Battletech on AOL to keep us entertained, those where very dark days indeed

But some of the most iconic Battletech Mechs were not designed by FASA, like the Marauder, Rifleman, Warhammer, Battlemaster and many more. They were borrowed from other universes ans settings cause the FASA guys thought they were cool... so what's wrong with designing a new Mech, from the grond up, for a new game as long as the design is nice and fits the BT/MW lore/setting? Though i also would prefer to get the bulk of BT designs into the game before even thinking about implementing a completly new design.

For me personaly, i don't like the Clans, never did. As i expanded to other tabletops later i encountered similiar factions in other settings which i find equaly unintersting.... like the Space Marines of 40K fame. It's certainly not hate, but i don't want to play them as i find the lore and fluff describing them boring and uninteresting. This is of course a personal opinion, and i don't have anything against other people enjoying the clan lore.
From a gameplay perspective i think they'll be hard to balance in a 1:1 situation as most clan technology is a straight upgrade from the IS counterparts. The introduction of melee might help IS mechs to be more of a match for clan players, but like in pretty much all videogame ports, melee is not an option (yet).

I don't want to see the Madcat... because it would be fun to hear the cries of anguish from the die hard Madcat fans.

HAHAHAH! You are evil! hahaha

[JokerACE]

The Hornet. Because it was simply a troll on the Suns.

[Fire for Effect]

Quads in general...

[LordDread]

lol as no doubt several people have said

i dont want to see urbies or madcat timberwolf's just cause it would be funny to see how many people were annoyed, not to mention suppling endless troll threads for a long long time


wait i take that back.. we can have urbies ....

[Shad0wsFury]

TBH I probably would have said the Jagermech, but it's already in. I'm not gonna ragequit over it, I'm just not gonna buy one most likely.

I would also not like to see the Banshee.

[diamond909]

I woudn't want to see a longbow mech because after it fires all of its missles at you twice you are already dead

[Vunguard13]

Hmmmm........ aside from the repeatedly mentioned fake mech or the obvious ones from MA2....

OH! Protomechs.

That is all.

[CaptainAnt]

Are we counting elementals? Becuase my vote would be cast on those little buggers.

[xZaOx]

Any kind of hipster mech. Only hipsters drive mechs with flannel shirts!

Or actually any Twilight mechs either (Vampyr).

I could do without the ryoken when the clans show up. I always thought it was ugly.

[Caboose30]

I would say the Fafnir, Vanquisher, Blood Kite.. ones like that. Those ones literally look like a pile of weapons that someone just added a cockpit and legs to.

[Joe Kidd]

I kind of like them all. In one way or another.

[Cobweb]

Any clan mech
