For this game's era, the Hatamoto-Chi would be fantastic! I'm not sure though if they're looking at making mechs faction specific. As awesome as it is, it's really only used by the Kuritans. But who wouldn't love a giant metal samurai ?

[Tlmitf]

Ill take a Fafnier (twin heavy gauss thanks)
Timberwolf
Nova
Dire Wolf (thats the Daishi IIRC)


Lets just say i cant wait for the clan invasion, and hopefully ill be around when this game catches up tothe MW4 universe (im not sure the time frame on that one, but the community mechs for MW4 include some real nice platforms )

For those who haven't read Lethal Heritage by Michael A Stackpole: the Clan invasion is closer than you might realise Just keep reading the news reports that pop up on the front page for hints of doom.

I can't recall when the MW4 story happened, but it's more than 10 years from now, so I don't think MWO will be reaching that date very soon

I too would love to see the Guillotine, Zeus, and Thunderbolt. I'm still pending approval for the Beta, but I look forward to rubbing paint with you all soon!

Japan just released their first ACTUAL battlemech last week. It may be closer then you think...

Of course would love to have my Thunderhawk I rocked in tabletop tournaments, but that's a few years away most likely.

An Archer also would be nice as it was a core design and *the* primary fire support design(far more common then the catapult) and a common command mech, but of course it's unseen. Probably could easily swap it with the Bombardier tho. Originally a SLDF design, it was dragged out enmasse by Comstar's secret mech transfers to the Draconis Combine for the war of 3039, along with the Thug, Flashman, Crab, King Crab and numerous other designs originally from the 2750 TRO.

Hope to see a Battle Master someday.

[Deven Currigan]

Right... I remember starting with Battle Droids. But as for a Mech that would be interesting to see in the future. There are a great many I would like to see. Of them all, and in no special order;

Battlemaster - The BattleMaster carried a Donal PPC as its main weapon, which allowed the 'Mech to cause damage at ranges exceeding five hundred meters. For close range combat, the 'Mech was armed with six Martell Medium Lasers, which gave the 'Mech the ability to unleash a devastating barrage of lasers at short to medium ranges. The short-range firepower was further enhanced with a Holly SRM-6, which could seek out weak points in the enemy’s armor. Finally, the BattleMaster was equipped with two Sperry Browning Machine Guns, which deterred infantry attacks.

Marauder - The Marauder's weapons and damage profile depends on the long-range capabilities of its two Magna Hellstar PPCs and the GM Whirlwind Autocannon/5. These three weapons all have similar range profiles that allow the Marauder use all three of them to their maximum effect at long ranges. At close ranges, the Marauder relies on its two Magna Mk II Medium Lasers which provide adequate defense against other 'Mechs

Rifleman - The Rifleman's focus on anti-aircraft work dictated a heavy load of long-range weapons to the exclusion of everything else. It carries a particularly heavy battery of two Magna Mk. III Large Lasers paired with two Imperator-A medium autocannons, one of each mounted in each arm. Two Magna Mk. II Medium Lasers are mounted in the torso to provide backup. One ton of autocannon ammunition is carried in the center torso. The 'Mech's ten heat sinks are grossly inadequate for constant fire, but in an anti-aircraft role, the Rifleman is expected to have time to dissipate heat while the target aircraft turns for its next pass.

Locust - The main weapon of the Locust was a single Martell Medium Laser. Backing this up were two Sperry Browning Machine Guns, which effectively deterred infantry attacks against the Locust's vulnerable legs.

Goliath - The Goliath is armed with what would be considered a paltry armament for a 'Mech of its size. The primary weapon is a Rand PPC. This is backed up by two Holly LRM-10 launchers. The Goliath has respectable firepower at long ranges. When an enemy closes though the 'Mech only has two Ramsey-65 Machine Guns to rely on for defense.

------------------ Just to name a few.
