Name one mech?

There are tens of Mechs that I’d like to see introduced in the future.
However, what I’d REALLY like to see introduced is the Battle Armor :P

If all people care about is changing the tomahawk enough to avoid legal trouble you might as well just have the tomahawk. Personally I'm not a fan of the unseen because their styles are so different they end up clashing with the other mechs and each other. The warhammer in the trailer looked good but the rumors are that that was still too close?

Personally, the clans need to hurry up and invade so I can get my Hellhound. I'm not 100% sure why the name "conjurer" associated with this mech, because that mech looks completely different than the hellhound as it appeared in MW4, this other mech also screams unseen at me so I guess they completely changed the design and then gave it a new name, so wouldn't it just be a new mech? I kinda prefer the name "conjurer", though because hellhound is one of those names that makes it sound like it's trying too hard to be tough, but conjurer barely seems to describe it.

I also had a fun time with the supernova in MW3, I recall that if you did an alpha strike with the thing it exploded. What I'm saying is that I want the ability to explode on command.

I'm surprised so many people are hoping for Locust and Warhammer. As far as I remember, both these mechs are having problems with copyright issues. I think Locust design was pretty shamelessly stolen from an anime while Warhammer is used in 2 different mecha-oriented games, Battletech being the underdog.

I'm hoping for a Marauder. And to that dude who said he doesn't understand the Marauder hype and thinks Marauder is ugly (and then continued on posting a picture of an Executioner... ): seriously? Marauder is an elegant design compared to that ugly buckethead that Executioner is!

Also hoping for: Raven, Cougar and Thug. And from the unseens, a Crab would be totally cool.

Oh, come one, the Madcat is a given there is no way in hell they arn't going to include it in the first wave of clan 'mechs.

For me I've always liked the Devestator and the Albatross and Crab, I love the crab :P

You might want to look up the Templar TRO the acutal not MW4 one is rather generic and not terribly interesting beyond being one of the rare Innersphere assualt omnimechs.

The Warhammer is a Detroroid Tomahawk from Macross. What's kind of funny is the Warhammer actually has more in common with the Robotech version where it's arm cannons were retconned from solid to energy based weapons.

The Marauder is a so called "Glaug", also from Macross. It also kinda bugs me how giant its legs are regardless of where it's coming from.

The crab isn't a unseen that I know of. Anyway they have FD on the job probably the best Battlemech artist I've ever seen so yeah if there is any possibility of making a maruader that still feels like a maruader and passes the trade mark test. He can.

ive always loved the hellhound for a medium scout...hope it comes out with the clan invasion.

what i would really love to see would be FRANKEN MECHS!

like the insanely awesome Schwerer Gustav

to me, nothing captures a gritty, resource starved, war-torn universe like cannibalizing mechs in ways the original designers did not forsee, not because you want to; but you because you have to make this work. A true testament to human ingenuity....and duct tape.

edit: oh yeah, grand turtle and xanthos baby.

Several, but I'll bring in my top picks:

1. Enforcer. This is pretty much a must have for me.
2. Valkyrie.
3. Zeus.
4. Dervish.

Bah Davions <_<

Enforcer and a Dervish, why am I not surprised ? You guys already got the Cent man :rolleyes:
Zeus is well loved on both sides of the Fed Comm though.
