I'd go for the following in this order:

1st - Atlas
2nd - Charger (possibly the SB model)
3rd - Dragon or Grand Dragon
4th - Lancelot (hah hah lazer madness! made on luthein beeches!)
5th - Panther

Hello everyone,

There are tons of outstanding battlemechs manufactured in the Draconis Combine (DC) and some of them distinctively represent House Kurita. If you were to choose from one of these mech designs for piloting, what would be your choice?

Personally, I like the Banzai (large vibroblade, large lasers, good armour, nice looking mech and last but not least the MASC as well as the booby trap) and the Lynx (PPC, large lasers and quartet of medium lasers, plus excellent armour, speed and mobility) and I hope that both mechs will be implemented in the game at some stage. Moreover, I hope that melee combat will be introduced at some stage, of course, not only because of the DCs high number of mech designs with hand-held close combat weapons.


just remember, the atlas has fists for a reason, not the least of which is punching mechs in the cockpit, but also wielding a 15 ton battleaxe.

im a little light on the lore since the whole series went dark for a while. I would like to run a heavy-light or light-medium, as long as they get the mobility and fight mechanics right

Warhammer i'd like to pilot for sure. ;)


A Warhammer 6k would be nice.

Apart from that, a marauder, victor 9k, atlas 7-K, some variant of the hatamoto chi or a panther.

I'm thinking about having one each of the Dragon variants, each one customized for a different battlefield role. So whatever my team need (heavy scout, stormtrooper, fire-support), I'll have a Dragon for the job. And I'll always be earning XP in the same base chassis to unlock the Elite tiers.

The panther has to be there as its such a common draconis mech, we've already got the jenner so that should do for lights.
Wolverine and crab for mediums. Dragon is in but i can't think of another blatantly kuritan heavy.

Quickdraw (Produced in FWL & DC), the Catapult-K2 (2xPPC), or any of the ex-Comstar Star League models.

The Archer/Bombadieer is a core mech from Draconis combine as well

Even though I'm not a Kuritan player, the Dragon is a solid 'mech design (and then the Grand Dragon after.)

The Shiro is my absolute favourite DC mech but I highly doubt it will be in the game. Most likely I will try the Dragon first, and maybe the Panther second. As someone pointed out, nothing like a PPC to push back the dark.

Shiro?
I think you'll have to wait another 100 years before you'll get to see that one.

Like I said, I highly doubt I will ever see it in the game. Different time period.
