Hello Hello everyone!
I'd like to put my two cents into the ring and ask that The Mackie be considered for being added into the game. I even know a great sub-title for the Mech Pack.
"The Mackie"
"Blast from the Past"
For those of you that don't know, The Mackie is the /FIRST/ BattleMech ever used in combat. (its from 2439).
This 100 ton battlemech is really rather cool, and has a lot of neat lore. Plus, I dont know any other BattleTech game that uses it.
Its "Stock" loadout would be 1 PPC, 2 Medium Lasers, and an AC/10. However there are a few variations out there.
For the "Special" or possibly "Hero" varients I'd love to see the MSK-5S (which was the initial prototype) come with a special paint-job that makes it look all rusted out, aged, with maybe an interesting patina.
Overall, I think a lot of people would get behind this design cause of its unique look, its rich (but not super detailed) lore, and for its historical properties. I know I'd get an Ultimate Pack for it.
Here's a link to the Sarna page:

Thank's for your time,

Agree Mackie would be addition to MWO.
From its age, massive popularity in its day, which should've resulted in high production numbers, the Mackie should have way-way more stock variants then the 5 shown on Sarna.net after-all 100 tons is 100 tons.
For comparison some mech variants in MWO are just unique prototype unicorns in lore...

It's built Ford tough... That's why it lasted 600 years.

Yes. This would be epic as a collectible mech. I would gladly fork over a solid $15 for that rusty hero version.

This would be an Ultimate Pack for me. Especially if there is rusty paint colors, and one cool decal.
