Who would you like PGI to make a hero mech of?

My list -

Bowser
Baradul
Chaotic Harmony
Jiffy
-Hatchet-

Yea Chaotic is not going to be popular for the PGI guys but... I would definitely like to see a hero build for his Awesome and would buy it. Same for these other guys/gals who knows what they are in the real world, maybe under that beard is a little girl. j/k

Point is that there are players here who deserve a hero build of their mech with their CallSign/Pilot name.

We have the lore and hero mechs but would it not be cool for PGI to make some of their MWO players hero's for the lore they have provided to all of us?

I mean come on Baradul is the master builder here. He definitely should be contacted and asked to put his player name on a hero build and what build he would want. I would buy it!
Throw in a few quirks and a warhorn and SOLD!

Anywise PGI wants to make money and some of the players deserve to be forever part of this games lore...

Thoughts? Who would you like to see a hero mech for? What mech?

P.

I'd love a Warhorn of Tina Benoit cheerfully saying "WINNER!" Been ages since I last saw her play mwo so I've no clue which 'mech she enjoyed running.

From the bottom of Tier 5, I'd like therealTTB Atlas. (should really come in 4 pack for instant Steiner scout lance)

TTB is a great ambassador for the game.

Duncan Fisher hero mech that has a built-in warhorn saying KAPOW whenever you get a kill.

Based on his MW4 voice lines, his ideal mech would be an Uziel that downgrades the engine to focus on pure firepower. He mentions that his favorite weapon is the AC/5 because it has a fast recycle and can keep people rocking, so that implies some significant cooldown quirks for the weapon. Maybe even give it unique impulse (cockpit shake) quirks.

This is an amazing idea!

They deserve it and would sell well.

Great idea!

But with over 1300 matches and builds played (with a very few repeats), what would Baradul pick? (Other than, you know, MRMs with not quite enough ammo. Posted Image )

I'd want the mech to say on start-up: "This is The B33F speaking..."

And a matching warhorn with his "HonHonHon".

I can picture it. Awesome Hero "The Woosher" 12 missile slots, comes with blinking neon sign bolt-on that alternates between "**** PGI" and "**** Russ" and the special warhorse that plays "we'll **** your nostalgia!"

Funnily enough, I agree with you for once Posted Image

If we're talking master builders, then Denairwalkerrr or Tarogato would be the only contenders imo. I'd put cash down for a Dimento Graven Hero though - some kind of Marauder build with a brutally bad engine cap that comes prestocked with a 24 pack and a beer song warhorn.

None.. I'm not a big fan of youtubers.. Sorry.

If i had no choice i'd go Baradul as he seems the most modest and not entitled of them all.

I personally would prefer real Battletech Heroes, not youtubers.

I pretty much feel like that with all youtubers.. I have a name for them but it would most likely get me banned here.

No one said just youtubers.... There are plenty of other great players that you could nominate.

There are hundreds of tabletop Heros that deserve a place in MWO far more than some nobodies in real life.
