Anyone that thinks the IS is PGI's favorite is completely out of their mind.

it is a lore-compatible mech (aside from the hero), the Summoner is the Thor, this is the Thor-II. I think the masc and jumpiness will be an asset.

I would have retouched the overall appearance at least, but if everybody its ok with it...and the tag price, then I guess it must be fine.

Don't get me wrong, no one is more excited than I am that for the first time ever, one of the Dark Age mech designs created by Wizkids has made it into an official MechWarrior game as something other than a mod.
However, please do literally anything to make it look like the Thor II. You already have the correct left arm model, at least just mirror it and put it on the right side, for goodness' sake. The entire reason the Thor II got turned into a different mech from the original Summoner was because people noticed it looked so different from it. But this is virtually identical to the Summoner visually. I know that kind of work is in short supply for the MWO team, but if even that much was out of reach then you should have considered the Thor II out of reach.

More hardpoints because it has no hard-mounted jump jets.

that's cool but even so, it sounds just like another variant for the summoner (like lets say...the grand dragon is to the dragon?), it could be even a legendary mech rather, so I question whether making the "summoner II" its own mech group (4 variants right? ) apart from the original summoner's group is even justified considering how much effort was put into it...whats visually different from the original summoner? those things (spatulas?) in the arms?
hell should I be surprise if PGI grabs the old blood asp's model and simply renames it the haupmann and introduce it to the game??.... should they? suuuuure they should of course!! but at least put some makeup on it before doing that. and then go ahead and hang that $20-40 price tag.
