Hulu Girl has already appeared. Needs more Awesome

Poll is flawed with only one option being the Awesome. Options should have read like this:

-AWS-8Q
-AWS-8R
-AWS-8T
-AWS-8V
-AWS-9M (introduced on 3049 so its still valid)

I had to vote Urbie. Although it isn't an assault 'mech, I am a fan of trash cans capable of putting a 7-foot hole in an atlas.

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned the Mackie yet.

I'd have to say of the pre-3050 mechs, my favorite is either the DVS-2 or the NSR-9J. Dual gauss ftw.

Even the Mackie gets a mention, but what about the Imp? Do people have something against the overgrown Urbanmech?

That said, I love the Awesome. Anything with 3 PPCs is just awesome.

the atlas, not only can it mount devastating amounts of firepower to long med or short ranges, it has variants with all ranges, and its the heaviest armor in the inner sphere.

too top that out, it can be loaded out as a command and control variant with angle ecm to cover its lance, or it can forgoe some weaponry and use a mighty battle axe in its huge fists (didnt you wonder why some mechs have hands? in battle tech they can wield mighty meelee weapons or even large unattached rifles and such).

Personally my favorite Mech was the bushwacker, a Med weight mech I could tune to do just about anything.

My very favorite mech is the Wolverine (And many of it's variants though did not care for the hellhound) but as oer the poll... I had to pick Awesome as being the most vocal.

That said... it is a /hard/ choice for me between the Zeus and the Banshee as my favorite assault mechs. Really hard choice.

why you posting your fav mechs when he ask for two mechs? I dont really like any of these but if I had to choose I would go with Atlas becose the number of people in love with Awesome is just too many of them,it kinda turn me off like madcat,also atlas is 20ton more but awesome isnt really much more faster,nimble or smaller.

As for faster/nimbler/smaller..

The 9M in 3049 got un upgrade to 64 KPH, it wasnt until Jihad that the Atlas had that.. so it can only do 54 KPH right now.. and wieghs in 20 tons lighter.. so I would assume that its nimbler as it is 20% lighter on its feet.

Also the Awesome is fitted with 3 PPCs.. (The 9M has double heat sinks 3 ER PPCs, 2 SRM2, a Med and Sml Laser) so its load out is much different than the Atlas.. ( AC20, LRM20, SRM6, 4 ML) so the Atlas really relys on a Ammo.. where the Awesome will never run out of ammo on its main weapons.

Other than that.. the Awesome is simply AWESOME and the Atlas is simply an Atlas..

I would guess the average Awesome pilot will want the 9M (personally I love the 9Q and its 4 PPCs but will wait for 7-8 years for that update )

If I remember I modified my Awesome in MW4 and got it up to 86 KPH... so it was an assault with assault level armor, heavy speed and with (I believe it was 2 PPCs and a LRM10 and few Med lasers) virtually the same punch as the Warhammer but faster.
