The only Highlander pilot of note in canon that I recall is Davis McCall of the Gray Death Legion. Sounds like a decent pick to me!

As if the existing lights were not hard enough to hit.

[xBaron Samedi]

yeah, what with the cost of bigger mechs and everything

Nice choice Piranha, especially if it gets Ballistic hardpoints. The Commando will no longer be that lonely 25 ton Mech that also has 0 total Ballistic hardpoints on any variant. Now Ballistic users have an option for 25 tons. I was voting for Flea to be next as the Light.

For Assault I vote for Victor so we get an Assault that has jumpjets. It would basically be a travel size Atlas with jets. Alternately you could give us a Zeus, Mauler, Banshee, or Cyclops, which are all popular votes from other posters.

Aww, Ain't it cute? Like a big ol' twenty-ton puppy. Cuuute.

[Vulture2k]

Always wondered why something called flea isnt jumpy.. shouldnt it have jump jets? would make more sense.. but i hope its really small and annoying.. perfect hit and run stuff..

you have no idea

...oh boy here we go.

I don't know if it will get jets or not but in either case it will be the game's fastest Mech, at 20 tons. It will live up to its name if you ever want "that" much speed. Perfect trollin Mech really. Zoom around the map and keep harassing the enemy base cap. No one is going to be able to hit that thing. It will probably outrun lasers.

[Pvt Dancer]

Ugh... So many better mechs out there that need to be in the game first. Vindicator, Enforcer, Victor, Cyclopse, and Zeus just to name a few.

Cool, something to move the Commando off the bottom rung.

Nah only the Urbanmech is worse then a Commando.

[Fleb]

I remember buying an Urban in Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries and thinking wtf was the thinking behind this thing!

Waiting for the next Assault.

Must be another joke from PGI.

Fleas! Five, maybe six of them! They’re all over the damn place!”

(all Fleas in the Inner Sphere)

...

Sorry if I'm a little cranky... I was hoping for the Victor (the most logical Assault). Or the Cyclops. Frak, I would gladly accept the Highlander, which wouldn't add much to the game (but has an ultra-master heavenly art - see leaked image from PC Gamer).

But the Flea? It's just a half-Cicada.

I understand the game would eventually get a mech of 20 tons but... now?

This is the single worst mech announcement ever.

Along comes a Spider.

But I'm happy. You know why? We will have at least more 4 IS mechs before the clanners.

There is a chance for the Orion! And the Blackjack! And 2 Assaults! (or 1 beside the Highlander)
