I don't know about y'all but it seems crystal clear to me that the delay in releasing new mechs indicates that the remaining mechs due out at release time are all unseens mechs.

So I'm betting

16 Battlemaster
17 Marauder
18 Shadow Hawk
19 Valkyrie
20 Warhammer

16 unseen/reseen
17 unseen
18 unseen
19 unseen
20 unseen
sorry none availible

Victor, nuff said. Maybe Banshee, but not the stock one of 3025 but the down graded variant released in the 3050 TRO that isn't sporting ERPPC and Gauss.

And a short list of Mechs you should not be expecting, but everyone is drooling anyway cause its 3058 and no where near the current timeline but everyone keeps wishing for them anyway.





Assault 'Mechs

• Sunder
  
• Grand Crusader
  
• O-Bakemono
  
• Spartan
  
• Striker
  
• Longbow
  
• Emperor
  
• Nightstar
  
• Devastator
  
• Mackie
  
• Pillager
  
• Thunder Hawk

So yeah, do not expect the likes of Thunder Hawk, Devastator, Pillager, ect ect Timber Wolf and/or Dire Wolf. They do not exist "yet" even though some have supposedly been in service since the Star League, so consider the top 2 lists your better options because so far the released mechs have been in both 3025 and 3050 TRO...ergo if its in the top 2 lists then the better odds of the next mech being out of those 2 lists of choices shown (excluding the rare one such as a Mauler being only in 3050, it could happen but more likely you will see a Cyclops or Banshee since Cataphract was 3050 only but it will be released)

Mauler or.... AXEMAN + announcement of melee combat! (you can dream )

[Jonny Taco]

I would love to see a Zues as the 4th assault mech

[Zervziel]

Personally I'd very much love for the 16th mech to be the King Crab. They exist and quite frankly the "they are rare so they shouldn't be in-game" BS is a weak as **** excuse. Not too mention it's a pretty unique design whereas most assault mech designs from this era are some variation of blocky humanoid. Also tell me how the Highlander is any more common than the King Crab.

[Telecleez]

maybe they are saying that sence we can't see #16 it's actually an Unseen and that's why we cant see it





j/k

[Mordakai]

I'm going to bet the Zeus makes it next.

[80sGlamRockSensation David Bowie]

The most likely choices are (in no particular order)...

Mauler (Ballistic based Assault)
Cyclops (Command 'Mech)
Victor (JJ Assault)
Highlander (Slightly bigger JJ Assault)
Zeus (Another Jack of all Trades)

Its going to be one of those five, but which one I cannot say. Will be fun to speculate though.

Hundred ton mechs are boring. Leave the Atlas alone there for a while. Those three mechs all play the same way, like a bigger Awesome (long range direct fire sniping)

Agreed.

And we are missing a 90-ton (and 95-ton) class
So
Highlander prefered (as in has jumpjets)

Other possible due to popularity are the two 80 tons mechs
Zeus
Victor

I'm guessing it will be one of these 3... biased towards the Zeus.

I think Star League units like that should go into the game, but not now. Once Comstar/WOB gets introduced as a faction (presumably after the Clans) They're gonna need some introductory echs. SLDF mechs like the King Crab would be perfect. Its NOT a

"weak as ****" excuse".

It's a very good reason to not use the mechs currently, as they are extraordinarilly rare outside the Com Guards.

You my friend, have too much time on your hands. Still an impressive effort.

[Banekane]

well my favorite melee mechs wont even show up im sad on that i love the Hatchetman and Axman mechs swift and deadly melee lol but if i was to guess on time and and what is available im surprised no cries for the Summoner (Thor)

Edit yes i know its outdated for the time frame but thats what will make it great as outdated mech usually sell cheap and it would be a good ballistics mech as well a great starter assault or heavy seteup

[Thom Frankfurt]

Maybe battlemech 16+ are the Unseens since we can't see them?

I believe this man is correct.

[Tyr Anasazi]

Highlander, Victor, or Zeus are my choices for the 16th Mech in the order I like them.

[IcePho3nix]

How do we know there is going to be a 16th 'Mech at launch? 15 'Mechs total is about as standard a number as 4 of each weight class.

need to do the math 16 is the number for 4 of each class 15 is there is 1 class short a mech

[Sinitron]

Who says we're launching with 16 'mechs? I'm surprised they didn't just launch with 4.

[Banekane]

actually who said they haven't stopped making mechs they will probably keep adding mechs every update but as said many times there realy is just 4 mech setups all that other stuff is just looks and fluff to give players their control of their mech experience

[Fischkopp]

i guess Charger or Victor as it is an Assault class Mech..

If i had a wish...King Crab
