Merlin! I would love to see a nice low tech jack-of-all-trades entry level heavy.

[Nik Van Rhijn]

Merlin

[Lightfoot]

Champion. Voted for here, no facebook.

[Nighthound]

Merlin is the best of those 3, just looking at the stats. But I like the look of the Lancelot better..... anyway my vote is for the Merlin, as I don't care about tech that isn't there jet.

[Variable]

RIFLEMAN!!!! oh wait- guess i will go with Lancelot out of those. But it seems like a no win either way. Not a fan.

[Morashtak]

Lancelot as a command vehicle, Merlin for the brawler role.

One of those "What will I be needed for?" situations.

[osito]

I voted champion. I like that mech and i really want to see what fd can do with that mech. Although a Lancelot does come in at a very close second. The only reason i would be okay with the quickdraw is that i have seen fd quickdraw already and it is a beautiful rendering.

I’m sensing a trend here *look ma no hands* so I’d rather stay away from those.

[Sarah Dalrymple]

Quickdraw for me!

[Vtack]

The champion has always looked weird to me like a cross between a mech and a jumbo jet. My money is on the Quickdraw winning out although I wouldn't mind seeing the Merlin win out that's a pretty cool design.

[Wriddle]

Voted for the Champion for the simple fact that we have five humanoid mechs (which I'm not real fond of) and only two non humanoid. Less hands more rocket pods!

[Felix Dante]

I may be in the minority here, but a Quickdraw is my choice.

Not heavily armed, but fast for a heavy Mech.

[Stone Profit]

Lancelot ftw, two large lasers and a ppc!

[Arch Angel 09]

Merlin but quickdraw is a close second

[Colorfinger]

I was hoping the Ostol would be on this list (I know I'm the only one) but I voted for the Lancelot because I think it offers good variety. I really hope it isn't the quickdraw because I am still holding out hope for a Grasshopper and figure the Quickdraw would detract from the likelihood of the GHR makes the poll.

[maisjack]

I like the idea of a redesigned merlin, looking like an Atlas' lil brother, but...



That's pretty cool too. So would a Rifleman.

I know we're not there yet, but can I have a Stalker, pretty please? It's been too long since I've got to pilot a walking A-10

Oh ok, all of the artists are just sitting around anyway...

Man, don't make me look like a meany. I know there's a lot of work to be done and I know that doing a good concept art takes a lot of work. I was talking about is some rough, half-an-hour sketch, something that would give us general direction of where this all would lead. And it's not like I want it "just for fun". As far as I can see, you, people, are thinking about adding some of mechs, that were never included in MW-series games before and you want to get the general idea of which of them potential players would like to see in the game. But the choice of people here could be somehow biased because of the TRO art for some of them being, to put it bluntly, really ugly. Take a Black Lanner art for example(I know, it's a Clan asset, I just want you to get my point):


This one looks like a pregnant penguin.

And here's the better depiction:



Sexy, right?

All I mean is if first image would have been used to represent the Black Lanner in the poll, how many of the voters would give their votes for something else? And how many of the would choose Lanner if the second one would've been used? I'm sure, difference would be huge. Presentation really could mean a lot, don't leave some potentially great mechs without a chance to be liked.

[Thomas Covenant]

For looks the Champion. Sounds horrible when I read about it though.

[Conn Man]

Lancelot! Very good firepower with enough speed to get in and out of trouble. Low armor, but enough for a "one free mistake card" and good heat efficiency.

[Vtack]

you know what I've changed my mind. I like the Merlin I like it alot. I'm excited about this plan! Let's DO THIS THING!
