I know alot of mech variants are excluded from MWO for being out of timeline, but there Mauler variants would fit in perfectly, with quirks to feed into the new weapons! We could just rename the existing PGI custom maulers to one of these and the hardpoints would not change!
None of this PGI custom nonsense, I demand full technical accuracy to the source material!
The MAL-1X-AFFC, MAL-1Y, MAL-1PT5, MAL-2D would all fit in with existing weapons, and the MAL-1KX and MAL-3K would fit in with the new weapons coming soon with LACs and Thunderbolt missile launchers!

True, but these are all variants that were only existed in tabletop in Dec 2023 - got to give PGI some time mate...

Do they add anything new or interesting? Variants for the sake of variants stopped being relevant when the "three mechs to skill up" system stopped a long time ago. There's a number of variants across all platforms that are virtually unseen already.

Unless these add some amazing geometry, I'd be surprised to see any non-legendary mauler added any time soon. Many of the loyalty/reward variants tend to be from popular platforms.

I also find it funny you didn't mention mauler 3r. The only one that would make sense in mwo
