Well, judging by the store page, they seem to be doing totem 'Mechs this time. The Hellhound, aka Clan Wolverine's totem 'Mech, would seem a good choice...
Jaguar?

Well thought! But will they make the Hellhound (MW4's) or the Conjurer? I know the MW4's Hellhound is gorgeous and probably the best mech design in that game, but it looks nothing like a Wolverine IIC as it should. Looks more like the Black Lanner.

I'm guessing the Turkina is a likely candidate, being of the right timeframe (at least if you consider the Wolfhound - we seem to have progressed to 3052) and a totem of one of the 4 current clans. After that... maybe the Black Lanner? Though that would give the Falcons two totems. The Timber Wolf and Dire Wolf are already in game for Clan Wolf, as is the Shadow Cat of the Nova Cats and the Ebon Jaguar for Clan Smoke Jaguar. Maybe the Stone Rhino, noted to be commonly used by Smoke Jaguar?

Reading the transcription, it was wrote the next standalone mech would be IS, but hearing the Townhall, I had the impression Russ didn't say if it was Clan of IS.

I would love to see the Black Lanner (or the Turkina) released in a "Totem" Pack. So much potential for a cool JF camo, like this or this. (best repaints ever!)

I play IS, but I'm really looking forward for the next Clan mechs.

PS: Arctic Cheetah could be considered another Smoke Jaguar totem mech.

​PPS: for Clan preferred mechs, look here.

I hate how diluted "totem mechs" became as a concept. Totem Mechs should be like the "falcon" themed Jade Falcon Mechs. The Kodiak, the Thunder Stallion maybe, stuff with stylistic "totem" elements.

Instead it's almost interchangeable with "faction" mechs. Why not call the Vindicator as House Liao's totem mech?

The Vindy is a signature mech.

Totems must have that animal feeling.
Wild thing.
Pet stuff.
Furries.

and aside from an animal name (which almost all clan mechs have) what is so animal abou tMetoid Mech? (or the box,with shoulder boxes, if we go by TT....)
http://www.sarna.net...tem_BattleMechs
because again, aside from "by name" over half of those so called totem mechs fail utterly.

Heck, the fluff for the Thunder Stallion actually says "was originally planned as a totem ´Mech, along the lines of the Mandrill or Fire Scorpion. Upon learning of the less-than-ideal performance of those ´Mechs, Clan Hell´s Horses de-emphasized the totem aspect in favor of more combat effectiveness" and yet still gets called a Totem Mech?

Which says either Classic Battletech, or Sarna, really has no clue when it comes to totem mechs.

Needs more explosions! This is the grim future of the 31st century after all, where war and strife is constantly in your face everywhere you look.

Making an actual Roy Fokker hero mech might just be pushing things just a little bit too far, even if we all feel warm and Fuzzy at the thought of sticking it to Harmony Gold. If PGI were to go that far I suspect HG _would_ react poorly.

However, if they were to include a skull and crossbones decal when the decal system is released I'm sure we'll see more than a few Fokker-inspired Hawks in the game. After all, PGI can't be held responsible for what the players do with a perfectly common image like that.
