This thread isn't like the other one to where it is an awareness thread, but it is mostly a thread to discuss potential IS OmniMechs that could be in this game. If you guys have thoughts about certain types IS Omni of that could be in MWO I wouldn't mind hearing it and discussing it.

KU-like designs - Booster Packs

Just like the Nova into the Black Hawk KU, these are basically designs that can easily be made using recycled PGI assets. They are quicker to make and take less time on art. These would be perfect if PGI wanted to create new assets while saving time. With the lore explaining that they were made from other created spare parts of other mechs, it would be wise to make them as booster packs.

Inner Sphere Converted OmniMechs
Blackjack Omni - This is a heavily armored version of the Blackjack. It has some serious arsenal and with its Omnipods, it can be a serious workhorse as an Omni Medium.

Centurion Omni - This would be another Dark Age Mech that would be in MWO. The only bad aspect about the Centurion Omni is that there are no new weapons to support new variants like the Plasma Rifle and MML.

Gauntlet - Given the fact that the Gauntlet originated, it makes sense to use that mech for the OmniMech. The only problem I see with the Gauntlet is that it has both a Supercharger and MASC in the torsos. So PGI is going to have to decide which one the want to keep.

Clan Converted IS OmniMechs
Arctic Fox - Given the fact that the Arctic Fox was made from salvaged Kit Foxes, it would be a no-brainer to use the Clan chassis for it. The only changes I could see are the hands to be more claw-like instead of having man-hands like its clan cousin.

Sunder - This mech is a hodgepodge created from Summoner and Hellbringer parts. Though I don’t know how the CT will be given that the mech is fat both in the TRO and games. Obviously, you got the legs of the Summoner/Hellbringer as a start, but the body, I don’t know.

I also gotta mention the Samual variant. That is a variant that could wreck your world, even if PGI decided to nerf the amount of hardpoints.

Original Designs

Given the layoffs that happened at PGI and reduced manpower, I can't really see new artwork for these kinds of mechs. These mechsProbably can happen, but only if they get a sequel like Mechwarrior 6 that focused on the FedCom Civil War or a DLC for MW5:Clans DLC. Those are the only way I can see those coming into MWO.

Templar - Looking at this OmniMech, it could serve as an Omni-version of a BattleMaster. Tancred Sandoval’s Templar has good potential to be a Hero Mech. Also a Templar III booster pack could come out of this mech.

Nondi Steiner was a well-known Hauptmann pilot during the FedCom Civil War. So it would make sense to have a Hero Mech based after here.
