They were doing a reveal a week for a while there. As far as I know this is the last?? one they plan to release on or around launch.

Wonder if they are just saving it for a special day or something. Personally I would love the warhammer, but I doubt there gonna shell out money to harmony gold for any of the unseen.

I think the Warhammer isnt an assault... ;-) But i would like to see this mech too

[Pocket Psycho]

I'd love to see the Devastator, but as someone has already pointed out it only has 2 variants available pre-clan invasion, I figure the next assault should be a ballistics based, currently Atlas is a bit of everything, Awesome (main config anyway) is pure energy and the Stalker is energy/missile.

The Mauler would fit as it's main punch is from 4 AC2's plus LRM's, not sure how many of it's variants are available though seeing as it was first released in 3048.

The Annihilator would be interesting, though it's presence pre-Clan Invasion is due to the Clans (ie. Wolfs Dragoons) who brought it with them on their intel gathering mission, it had been lost since the Star League left otherwise.

The King Crab, which I know a lot of people would love to see, is in a similar situation to the Annihilator, as I'm pretty sure it vanished from the IS, or is at least really rare, when the Star League left.

The Nightstar, it has 3 variants that I can find, was in production pre-Clan Invasion, and packs 2 Gauss Rifles as part of it's armament.

These are just the few I could find on Sarna.net in a quick look, would love to hear of any others .

Correct, the Warhammer was originally classed as an Assault 'Mech, but is actually a Heavy 'Mech going by weight.

I'd never seen the nightstar before good spot, it looks like a pretty nice assault mech.

ALTHOUGH it comes with an XL engine as standard according to sarna.net and is over twice as expensive as an Atlas and is only just under twice the value of an Atlas II!

You pay for quality I only know about it because it was used in a BT Novel I read.

[Ezrekiel]

Why an assault Mech ? Just because then there'd be 4 of each class ?
They said at some point they wanted Mediums to be the most used class like in the fluff iirc, so another medium would also be possible.

I'd llike to see a Whitworth or Blackjack.

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

Whitworth doesn't get enough love.

Really we haven't seen an announcement for a while, wouldn't it be awesome if suddenly, Unseen...Unseen everywhere?!

[Sky walker]

Mauler would be a boring choice - it has been in nearly every MW game out there, and honestly: It doesn't introduce anything "special" into the game besides obvious reference to completely different lore. I'd by far prefer to see other 90 tonner - say: Highlander or Cyclops? Or perhaps something less known - Emperor? But I'd like to see Highlander most

As for classes of Mechs - for the beginning there surely should be at least 4 from each weight class, and I'd love to see each one of them to have actually a different weight.

[Arkhangel]

if they are adding another assault and it's ballistic-based....c'mon, don't care if it's rare, it's still more common than an Annihilator. what mech do i mean? the King Crab. it also has the distinction of never having been in a mechwarrior game to date to my knowledge.

[Drow]

Mauler is the obvious choice as it is almost as universally recognized as the Atlas in its design.

It would be great to see either the Katana, Hatamoto-Chi, Battlemaster or Zeus instead though.

You think a 4th Assault Mech will be the "last" one that ever makes it to the game?

No, but it finishes the (right now) last batch of mechs.

The Mauler only has one variant at this point, the next one won't show up till 3051. I recon that we won't be seeing it as long as the current Mech XP system is in place.

[DarkNomad]

i got the impression maybe the zeus might make an appearance

[Onyx Rain]

I want it to be this...(But am 99.99% sure I'll be disappointed)

[Urza Mechwalker]

Its not like the game will have only 16 mechs. It wil be like WOT, where they keep adding mechs so we keep interested in playing and spendign money to get the new mechs faster. So expect hat 1 year after release you will ahve 2 tmes the number of mechs than at release day.

[daniel castelo]

I wanna play with Cataphract... The LBX 10 variant
