Hmmm... so many choices.
I love variety, but if I had to choose just one my choices would be:

IS: Stalker
Durable, versatile and reliable. And I actually like its sturdy looks a lot too. Will definetly be my first assault to buy in MWO.
Clan: Summoner/Thor
Very agile 70 tonner with balanced loadouts and can be customized for almost every role. Like the looks too.

[Ach]

Thor and Atlas are my two favourites.

I like the in your face brawler types.

[Tomtricity]

Victor. Moved 4, had jump jets and an AC 20. And at 80 tons could still take a little bit of a beating.

[Lucidreality]

Stone Rhino.



Why? Well this 100 ton behemoth was so expensive to build that commanders did not use them cause they couldnt afford to lose one! 18 Tons of armor, Jumpjets capable of propelling it 90 meters, and a top speed of 54 kph. Top that all off with a fearsom array of weapons (detailed below).

The design featured Large Pulse Lasers in each arm, twin Gauss Rifles in the torsos fired through the dorsal barrel, and an almost superfluous Small Pulse Laser located just below the cockpit. The Stone Rhino also sported an interesting feature; each arm contained a retractable, shock-absorbing cowl covering the weapon barrels. This allowed MechWarriors to use the arms as battering rams without damaging the weaponry.




And last but not least, It just looks so badass. I want to rub it all over my body.

Sunder. So versatile and nice armor.

Hi!

My favorite is the Timber Wolf (and yes, Timber Wolf is the correct clan's name). Nice balance of Weight and Power... you can get some nice custom versions from this one

[Th3 James]

Catapult.

[Wydell]

Kit Fox. Able to inflict a surprising amount of damage in hit and run tactics, and has a variant for nearly any situation.



Also, I really like the Fafnir. If you are going to bring firepower, bring as much as you can.

[Vanessaira]

My favorite big mech has always been the Viking. Often neglected and never thought about. Its LRMs will make you think twice before ignoring it...


I also have to say that I also love the Firemoth/Dasher. Another favorite of mine.

[The God of Hell]

The Summoner / Thor.



My original choice would be the Hellspawn, given its balance of speed, armor and firepower, but I feel the Summoner is basically a much larger Hellspawn. It's a omnimech, it has a top speed of 86.4km/h, it has jump jets standard and it can equip a barrage of weapons. The Prime model even comes with my favorite type of weapon, a LB-X AC, as well as LRMs. Quick enough to outmaneuver most mechs, armed to engage targets long range and obliterate in close range, and with a decent 9.5 tons of armor, the Summoner is my favorite all-around. I hope they put it in if / when they include Clan mechs in the game.

The closest thing to the Summoner that is currently confirmed to be in the game is the Dragon. And while I think I will greatly enjoy using it, it is not my favorite confirmed MWO mech. That award goes to the Cicada.



A medium mech, not a light mech mind you, that can go 129.6km/h. The extra tonnage allows for more armor (6.5 tons or more on some models), as well as larger weapons such as the Ultra A/C-5 and the Heavy PPC. It may even be possible to add jump jets, allowing it to fully surpass the Jenner. With heavy enough weapons to wake up an Atlas and fast enough to escape before it even knows what hit it, I can already tell the Cicada (which I will call Abaddon, after the king of an army of locusts mentioned in Revelations) is going to be the mech for me.

[Hidran]

The cougar. Since I almost finished the solaris VII colloseum championship with it. (but the last daishi always gets me!) It is the BEST light mech.

[JFlash49]

MAULER! CAUSE ITS JUST FRICKIN AWESOME!

[Brian Pryde]

Normally asking me to pick a single Mech as my one favorite would be an impossible task, since I love so many, but looking back over the one that I keep using over and over again, I would have to say the Rifleman in many incarnations has always been my best and favorite Mech.
Especially my modified Rifleman IIC

[DDTT4]

i like the annihilator. it was my first 100 ton assault mech in mechwarrior 3 (my first mechwarrior game)

[xRatas]

Destroid Tomahawk (WHM-6R)

This was the one I used through the first Mechwarrior game. And it looks like it means business. Too bad it became unseen.

[Dragunz Pryde]

Have to say the BZK-F3 Hollander!!!


How can you NOT love a light mech with a freekin GAUSS CANNON!!!! I always had one of these in my lances just because of the shock value of them taking THAT much damage from a LIGHT mech...lol. Yes it had very little armor, and was not fast enough to run down other light mechs, but its got a GAUSS CANNON!!!

Hmmm... what about the Rifleman featured in the Japanese release of BattleTech (where, as it happens, the 'Mech designs were done by Studio Nue, creators of Macross and the original Unseen artwork)?

soo many choices.



of all time, it has to be the Warhawk. 85ton clan omni mech, 4 ERPPC LRM10 + targeting computer 20 double heat sinks 340 XL fusuion engine gives ti 64.6 KPH.and 13.5 tons ferro fibrous. dislikes the MW4 re-design.

totally agree - is my favourite since MW2

[-Ramrod-]

I'd have to say the Daishi/Dire Wolf. I know I know its huge. But I made the perfect weapons loadout for it in Mech 4. 4 ER med lasers, 2 ER large lasers, 2 LB-20x autocannons. A few cycles of these weapons brings down any mech.

[Sgt Pilsung]

trebuchet, good long range weapons and good up close weapons.
