I'm thinking they're waiting to see which Mech is the next most popular one to choose from, maybe the choice is getting harder by the Mech and they're takng time to make up their minds.

That would only really work if they have artwork done for more mechs than they have planned for the game.

I don't think they have a fixed number of Mechs planned,do you? As this is an online game I would think they keep on releasing Mechs as time progresses, also after release of the game.Why should they even have a fixed number of Mechs, I don't hope so, it's the diversity in Mechs that keep a game like this fresh over time, at least that's my guess/hope.

I would expect they have a short list and a long list of mechs they're going to add.

They are probably going to add more later on, but they would have had to decide on a number to release initially. Waiting to see what 'Mech the community wanted to see on release would just delay development of said 'Mech, and if they already developed more than one to wait to see what we wanted then they might as well have just added all of them in. hence the idea that they are waiting to see what we want for release doesn't make much sense.

They MIGHT be willing to take our feedback into consideration as far as adding new 'Mechs later goes, but it's still likely they already have some plans for that.

They're likely in crunch time getting things ready for the next round of beta and don't have any new mech ready to show off.

People always seem to forget that the art department that builds the models doesn't have anything to do with coding or bug fixes.

I am betting they are just saving it for the Founders launch.
