So yeah, basically all star league/age of war mechs that were retconned in the TRO: 3075

[El Loco]

The 'Wacker is introduced in the Record Sheets 3055/3058... so this beauty is out of the timeline for now. To those worshipping the Shadow Hawk... please continue! I left it out simply because it is not among the 'MechsI want to see included into the game no matter what.

I just want to see my King Crab in a Video game version of Battletech. I use it as an area holder on tabletop. It's like a freakin' walking castle! C'mon guys don't let me down!

King of the hill just got serious.

Personally, I'd love to see the Archer and the Enforcer for my heavy and medium picks. Gotta go with the CGR 1-L Charger for an assault . For a light, I'd like to see a Spider.

[SMDMadCow]

I want to see the Merlin. Time appropriate since it started production in 3010 and was actually the first new mech design in the Inner Sphere in over a century.

Merlin isn't a bad 'mech, and I always forget about it because it's hard to remember when 'mechs actually started being produced versus what Tech Readout they debuted in.

[SMDMadCow]

Yeah, I don't get how the LongBow made it into the 3039 TRO but the Chameleon, Merlin, Annihilator, Shogun, Katana, and Hoplite didn't, even though they're all available in some way or another at that time.

[The Boneshaman]

Every thing from this TRO http://www.sarna.net/wiki/TRO:_2750 and this TRO http://www.sarna.net/wiki/TRO:3025

Probably the main reason I left the Marauder out of my line up is, it's one of those "This is Battletech" kind of 'mechs. It's a purely natural pick for them, assuming they can get past the unseen portion. Seeing what FD did with the Catapult, I have 100% faith he could cook something up that would be absolutely stellar if he wanted to do a redesign for this 'mech.

I really hope that something can be done to put the "unseen" into the game, esspecially the Marauder and the Warhammer. With few exceptions, the unseen are the only pre-clan mechs that I personally like the look of. I'm certain that if your concept guys put their minds to it, they could come up with a design that will satisfy the Macross (Robotech) publishers. Just make sure every thing is square from a legal stand point before you make it public.

With that said, I present my list.

Mauler - I'm wondering if it fits the time line. According to the Wiki, not even ComStar knows for sure when this sucker was first used.

Awesome - This was my mech of choice in MW4. Great combination of armor and firepower. Plus, you just can't go wrong with 3 PPC's

Marauder - Probably the best resemblance to a clan mech.

Warhammer - I beginning to see a pattern here. I guess I just like PPC's

[Polymorphyne]

I love the Mauler. It absolutely must be in the game- when I think of an Inner Sphere mech, that Mauler is what I think of. Its a big mech with big honking guns for arms and missile launchers on its shoulders. It isnt pretty or sleek, but its big tough and packs a punch.

[El Loco]

The Mauler is a very versatile assault 'Mech. Nevertheless, it won't be a common view on battlefields until late into the Clan Invasion... earning it a top place among the 'Mechs to be included a year or so after launch. I'd really like to know, though, how the devs tackle the problem of 'Mechs that are just released / going into production around the time the game will launch (say, -5years <= x <= +2 years).

[Listless Nomad]

Can I make a plea for the Black Knight? I actually like the reseen marauder so that would excellent as well.

That mech is not the Black Knight of MW4: Mercs.

This is.

[Jack Gallows]

Yea...I was a bit confused when he posted a Templar...

They're great 'mechs, they just aren't around yet.

[Bloody Moon]

Since the Uziel was mentioned i thought i'd ask here if that Mech existed in the time when MWO is placed?

No, you won't see it for close to 10-15 years. It's in the Battletech Technical Readout 3067, which means it came out closer to that year then the current 3049.

Sarna.net is great for info about different 'mechs.

Edited by Jack Gallows, 14 February 2012 - 07:24 PM.

[El Loco]

Nope... the Uziel is a couple of years down the road... that is some 10 years. You might want to check sarna.net for information on the availabilities of 'Mechs and weaponry!

Aunty Edith wants to say, that ninjas are very sneeky and scare her, Mr. Gallows
