The Archangel - a retractable blade never runs out of ammo.

[veretax]

Who needs speed. Give me an urban mech and let the good times roll... but if an Urby isn't available hrms...


Maybe something with a lot of pulse lasers, like say a penetrator, or a GUillotine. GLT might be fun

[Reed496]

I'd pick the 60-ton Black Hawk-KU with it's prime config. of 4 medium pulse lasers, 6 medium lasers, and 2 small lasers.

[Ensign Expendable]

A ForestryMech. Chainsaw on the right arm, just need a shotgun for the left arm.

Groovy.

I personally feel like you should just go with the flow.......

Yes, I registered an equally awesome name.

[MostlyHarmless]

for me there is only one mech for such an event
the beermech...
http://www.solaris7....nfo.asp?ID=1291
1 er large laser, 2 er med lasers, 2 mg's, and most importantly 22 tons of beer and food. Whoever came up with the beer mechs on solaris7 should have been in the FRR with that sort of forward thinking.

[Dangelion]

Zombie time?! OK! I take Cyclops CP-11-B

[Tincan Nightmare]

The hell with a 'Mech. Give me a Savannah Master and I'll be at the dropport boosting for the jumpships before anyone knows theres a zombie apocalypse!! .

[Tincan Nightmare]

Well if I had to take a 'Mech, the good old Phoenix Hawk would do. Got the Jump Jets, good speed, and all energy based weapons except for the 2 mg's, though machine gun ammo would be the easiest to scavenge. Course I would probably spend most of my time sitting on the head or a shoulder throwing beef jerky at all the zombies moaning and shuffling aournd my 'Mechs feet .

[Pawn Couch]

Nova cat with flamers

[Wyzak]

Cyclops CP-10Z with electronic warfare technician's couch - for the extra cockpit space and so I can rescue an attractive female survivor. Maybe a female Battlemech mechanic so I can put more energy weapons on?

[McScwizzy]

Since they are just Zombies I'd take a firestarter. If I needed more power I would take my beloved Timerwolf Prime.

[Stormeris]

Id take scorpion, replace its PPC with as much flamers as i can, and besides its a quad - four legged stomping goodness

[Vulpesveritas]

I'll take a Clint. Fast, has two medium lasers which never run out of ammo, Jumpjets, and a hand actuator.

[Punisher 1]

Any mech, but it would need a My Little Pony paint scheme that was so obnoxious ( is not all of them ) that the Zomies would be replused at it's mere sight.

[NotNewHere]

Supernova with clan flamers in the shoulder mounts and 12 er medium pulse laser. No ammo because flamers use plasma from the engine exhaust. Its got a big enough cockpit to live in and enough armour to survive unexpected accidents, such as a collapsing skyscraper. JJ's are good for mobility and pulse lasers are better against many small targets. Plus it would look badass covered in grafiti, soot and zombie guts

[LordDeathStrike]

clan nova cat with 6 large pulse lasers. BURN IN THE LIGHT OF MY HOLY AWESOMENESS ZOMBIE FILTH.

also if there are zombie mechs, this bad boy will killem deader then dead.

also, if my nova cat should go down, ill be useing my backup mech, an atlas with 5 flamers in each arm, 16 machine guns in the torso with a special equipment that makes machine gun ammo out of dead zombies, and the armor is painted in holy water based colors that burn evil zombies if they try to climb up it.

Hrm...
As it is in the 3049 timeframe, I can safely say... Daishi (aka: Dire Wolf).
Pack it with 20 Double Heatsinks, as much ferro-fibrous armor as the frame can handle, and a full set of Medium Pulse Lasers, backed with a quartet of Flamers for the ever-classic "mass-incineration" approach.
And load M.A.S.C. for a little extra speed.
Finalize this with a few engine upgrades, and it's all set.

Keep away from other MechWarriors, turn all shamblers into roadkill, and find some way off-planet ASAP... preferably with my 'Mech.

Bear in mind, ladies n' germs, there is always "overloading" your 'Mech.
In this case, I refer to going over the Standard Acceptable Weight Limit (SAWL for short).

Bigger frames, like the Daishi, are designed to take the strain of moving 100 tons of war machine at 30-40kph, and with the larger engine I fully intend to have along, I can fit a couple tons of food n' basic supplies onboard... using a hermetically attached cargo container on the shoulder opposite the repurposed missile rack.

There's also the fact that your 'Mech is, what? A fully mobile nuclear reactor! So you don't need to worry overmuch about carting along a cheap generator, you're piloting one!

Trust me, if a 'Mech frame is designed for warfare, it can handle being a couple tons overweight. Just keep away from those who would otherwise demolish you.

[Xyph3r]

even a Mining Mech could take out Zombies without any problems...

and as already mentioned:
they´re zombies, what could they do against cold, hard Steel: NOTHING. shooting Zombies with Mech weapons would be waste of Ammo/ Energy. I´d Simply ROFLSTOMP over hordes and hordes of them all Day.

wanna make it more interesting? make it a Tyranid Apocalypse instead!

I´d take a Dire Wolf in both cases, for i just love that thing.
(or maybe, if i was drunk enough, I´d fight off the Zombies in an Urbz, shouting "beware of the Trashcan of DOOM, zombie scum!")
