Crab. -OR- Crusader that we can use the hands to rip other mechs limbs off with.

If we are looking at a light mech, the Firestarter. Especially if the Environment can be used to mask against enemy sensors. Nothing like a big forest fire to muck up IR sensors. Otherwise, Zeus, or Highlander.

/facepalm

Hellbringer - MUL and Sarna.net. Did you really mean to post this in Wild Speculation?

[col hengist]

Mauler...wouldn't it still be called a Daboku in this time period?

My guesses would be

Light-commando
medium-Griffon
Heavy-Thunderbolt
Assault-Zeus or Banshee ( banshee image from XTRO Steiner please )

[Drax OdinsBane]

I would love to see a Stalker

[FACEman Peck]

It would be interesting to see the Awesome, but it's a PPC boat, so i wouldn't vote for it. I'd like to see the Warhammer though.

Bada­ss.
I wonder if the word filter will catch up on this little trick...?

Yeah, according to canon and all that is holy.
It's probably just going to be a Mauler with a different name in MWO though; I don't see the critical design flaws of the canon Daboku being implemented, after all, so you can understand why I'm pretty expectant about a potential Mauler release.
It's a Combine 'Mech, though, like the Jenner, so, unless Steiner and Davion are both just treated as a single power, it's more likely that we'd see a Steiner 'Mech next, like the Zeus.

So I suppose you could be right...?

Well one thing I can say sama doesnt cover everything and second everyone here is a mech fan but not an encyclopedia

Sarna covers enough if you know what to look for. All the Mech entries have the TRO they're published in at the bottom of the page.

The Hellbringer, while around in 3049, is a clan mech that won't be seen in the Inner Sphere until the Clan invasion.
The Super Nova, has been around longer than the Hellbringer in Clan space but is a second line mech that won't be in the invasion forces which will be comprised of front-line omni mechs.
The Hellspawn, isn't introduced until the 3060's as a replacement for the Dervish.

Hellspawn is a stunted Loki that got beat with an ugly stick

?? The Hellspawn has nothing in common with the Hellbringer.

[Tadakuma]

Well as has been pointed out we're due for a light or an assault 'mech.

If it's an assault 'mech it's going to be the awesome.

The lights are more interesting and we have several serious choices there.

- Firestarter
- Commando
- Spider
- Panther
- Valkyrie

Of these I'm hoping we'll see the spider because it is an excellent example of a high mobility, scout raider.

While I like the wolfhound, I don't think we'll see the wolfhound or the Raven on release. I suspect that both 'mechs will be a high level unlockable purchase down the track.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Either Raven or Koto

[Saurok]

Phoenix Hawk
Shadow Hawk
Stinger


In that order FD. Now draw.

[Name140704]

Hoping for an Awesome or Raven.

Be that as it may, the Hellbringer is a Clan OmniMech. The Clans won't be introduced into the game until about rougly a year after release. And even then, that doesn't mean that they'll introduce the Hellbringer - at least right away.
