No missile boat? The O-Bakemono would be a welcome choice... this totally isn't dragon propaganda... ;-)

Going with the Zeus if we are using stock setups. Longer range = good
I really Like the Victor's AC20 but stock it has no long range weapons and I would rather not have my armor in red before I close to weapons range.

Only a decade to wait. You should be able to afford the Arrow IV missiles by then.

Voted for the Zeus... but none of the options really tickles my fancy. The Victor is a decend brawler, but he's too much focused on short range encounters. Once it runs out of ammo for its primary weapon it's left with less firepower than most mediums and low end heavies have, all while having about as much armour. The Zeus isn't focused at anything at all, which can be nice and actually is the reason for why I voted for it. On the other hand, Zeus' don't really excell on anything, but they don't lose as much punch once the LRM runs. As for the Thug, dual PPC... very nice. It's the poor back up arsenal that cost the 'Mech my vote. Once you emptied your SRMs the Thug can be killed by any 'Mech coming close enough to prevent it from firing its PPCs. Nevertheless, all three of them are fast for assaults, which is really nice

Why isn't the Charger on this list? The CGR-3K is one of the better assault mechs of the current time-frame. I believe the Devs are against the Charger because of the small lasers of the base model, even through they showed charging might be an action.

But you can count my vote for the Striker: http://www.sarna.net...ker_(BattleMech)

Thug it is. I love PPCs.

[Breakout]

Victor - I like a heavy assault mech that can jump far.

Yeah, assault. That's what I meant. Thanks for the edit!

Striker: PPC, Large Laser,AC-5. Zeus: PPC, Large Laser, LRM-15. If I had to choose, I'd pilot a salvaged Zeus.

Both have the same max speed of 64.8 km/h.
Striker STC-2C: 13.5 tons of armor, 38 max damage, cooler aesthetics, made by the Star League (which was Space Canada and USA), and fulfilled the role of the Awesome before it was made. 1xPPC 1xLarge Laser 1xAC-5 3xMedium Lasers
Zeus ZEU-6S: 11.5 tons of armor, 33 38 max damage. 1xPPC 1xLarge Laser 1xLRM-15 2xMedium Lasers

In other words the Striker is best 80 tonner.
Cause I say so .

@Smoke Banshee: We'll agree to disagree.

[Siilk]

Zeus. It's as iconic as other two mechs in the poll but it has a lot of interesting loadouts, other mechs lack. Don't get me wrong, they all have powerful weapons but Zeus, with it's eclectic loadouts is just more fun to pilot.

Surprised the Awesome didn't make the list. Maybe it's just my old school nature, but I consider it far more iconic than the Thug.

He essentially said it's already planned for the game, so putting it in a poll would be pointless. I do love the Awesome also. Though it's not onmy list of musthaves.

[Igorius]

Oh, Thug all the way. Seriously, there's not a bad 'Mech on the poll, but the Thug needs some love.

Victor has to be the choice. Its just so damn beautiful & he has a japanese hat

That and the Victor looks similar to the commando.

[verybad]

The Thug is a good mech, however I think mechs like it should wait for an SLDF pack or something in the future. It's not a common mech. I'd rather see mechs that make sense in the era.

But it has better weapons and armor ^^

[Hao Yu]

Seriously, even if you don't want to ride it, who wouldn't want to see the Zeus redesigned for this game?
