[Exploding Boy]

Greetings all,
I have seen quite a few posts asking which mech we (the people) would *like* to see get redesigned. I am curious which quintessential Battletech mech everyone thinks *needs* to be redesigned before finding its way into this game (mechs that, if included as-is, will make you throw up all over your HUD before you can get off a single shot). I am most interested in non-unseen, since those will most likely be redesigned whether we want them to be or not.

The first three that come to mind:

Banshee (I wear my sunglasses at night)
Cyclops (The Command Mech)
Crab (Pinocchio with a useless claw(s))

Others?

urbanmech

[Kaemon]

All of them.

Including the Timber Wolf....

[Felix Dante]

Shadowhawk, Griffin, and Wolverine...

Three of the most common and useful designs.

We really need to see these re-done in my opinion, (Un-Seen or not!)

Added Later: Wraith (Gotta have a Wraith upgrade too!)

Man, I must have an awful sense of aesthetic because again, I love those designs, especially the Banshee. Now I must say the TRO 3025 is a bit off but when you look at the later TROs they, IMO, look awesome.

I get what you say on this: http://www.solaris7....Info.asp?ID=543

But this one I think rocks: http://www.solaris7....fo.asp?ID=16487

Its the same aesthetic, just different perspective.

Wolverine

Dervish! Oh Dervish you are so plain and uninteresting. I'd like to see that spiced up and rereleased.

Really.. Take your pick... IS light mechs for starters.. : \

[Bluey]

Argus maybe ?

[AdamBaines]

All of this mechbashing makes me sad

[metalwolf2900]

the firestarter and the shadowhawk, both rusty, trusty mechs, but the firestarter needs help in the looks department

[Neovenator]

Well if we ignore the 'unseen' my vote would be the Assassin

http://www.masteruni...Assassin-ASN-21

It's not the worst design but IMO it's not far back. The mech has a cool name, common who doesn't like the name assassin, it conjures up a hunter/killer whose job it is to take down light mechs, but I look at the picture and the most I can say is ....meh

[Lorcan Lladd]

I know it's early and all, but hasn't anyone mentioned the Ryoken yet?
It's like a misshappen puppy with front-leg paralysis which can kill you; I rather like the Microsoft redesign, though, I'd just like to see the arm structures and cockpit re-done, based on their model.

[Domoneky]

I'd like to see a Zeus redesign

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

I'd like to see a Annihilator, Champion and a Firestarter redesign. I'd also like to see QuadMech redesigns like Scorpion, Tarantula or Goliath.

[Colonel Bogey]

I wanna see a dervish redesign. I think it would count into this time period.

I like the look of the Assassin that Mektek did when they introduced the mech in MW4M, so perhaps something like that.

Anything that starts with "Ost"

Hey now, they redeem themselves in the Phoenix TRO IMO. As for me, i think most designs from 3025 and 3055.
