I voted off of the primary config for each of those omnimechs.
And I voted for the Hellbringer (Loki).
I love my PPCs

Gonna go with the Hellbringer. I mean, ton for ton, it has a lot of firepower. Sure, it lacks armor protection, but it also packs an incredibly diverse set of electronic packages to increase its survivability as well as the survivability of its starmates. It also is not a bad looking machine, either. It is the Clan equivalent of the Warhammer, for all intents and purposes, except faster, smaller, and more versatile.


What is not to love?

JJs are missing, but I suspect they would make it ridiculously OP. The Thor got that covered though, just in case you need it

This was a toughie, torn between a Prime Config Mad Dog, or a Atlernate Config C or prime Stormcrow. Love the speed and firepower of the Stormcrow, but the sheer firepower of the Mad Dog Prime is pretty impressive too. Both are my favorite looking mechs for the clans.

It's a nice mech, just its a battlemech, not an omni. Same goes for the Stone Rhino, and the Madcat Mk II....

I voted Timber Wolf. I really like the Prime and the D configurations. So naturally, what's better than either one? BOTH!

1 LRM 20
1 ER PPC
1 ER LL
1 ER ML
1 MPL
2 SSRM-6
1 ER SL

I've not really had a chance to test it or anything, but that array pleases my eye. Though I could do with an AC-10 instead of quite so many lasers, I'd rather mix and match known omni-pods then start tinkering too in-depth.

Basically, you take the Left arm and Torso of the prime and slap them on a D (and, naturally, turn that RT rear-facing SSRM forward).

Still not sure why the D has rear-facing weapons, what with Zellbrigen and keeping enemies in your front arc and the dishonour of trying to manuever into the rear arc.



EDIT: Second Choice would be Fire Moth because I just love how fast that thing is, and I enjoy taking a spin in a light Mech from time to time.

Third choice would probably be Hellbringer. I've always liked that design. Light on armour but carries a stunning amount of weapony. The Prime and the A are nice, but I'd tear off the Anti-Personnel gear (M.Guns and ammo included) and tinker around with that tonnage.

Love the Timber Wolf, but I'll take a Nova

[Modi]

Did not see some of my more favorite designs like the Daishi or the Nova but the Timber Wolf is always a favorite.

Other. The Fire Moth is the best. One of the fastest 'mech's in existence? Sign me up!

[acheronlv426]

Well, I like the Blackhawk, but my favorite OmniMech is the one in a smoking pile of rubble at my feet.

Mine is a tie between the Adder and Stormcrow. I really cannot choose a winner between the two.

The Adder, in all its variants, hits extremely hard for a light mech; if you like killing larger mechs with a light, this is the one you want to bring to the fight. It's a little slow for a light mech, but it can outgun most light and many medium mechs, while staying outside the range profile of all but the longest-reaching weapons.

The Stormcrow is very fast for a medium, has good armor for its class, has great reach and hitting power in the Prime configuration, and hits very hard in the other variants. Its only downside, IMHO, is that it does not typically mount jump jets, although it is hardly the only chassis to lack them. It was also designed by Clan Hell's Horses, so I may be a wee bit biased.

Nova Cat Prime

[Drakewolff Kerensky]

Dire Wolf or Mad Cat Mark ll

[Odins Reaver]

The Mad Cat MKII is not a omnimech.

[MechRaccoon]

Good god, really? Timber Wolf should have, like 900,000,000,000 votes!

It's a freaking ICON of BattleTech! Seriously, the Atlas is only CLOSE to being as famous!

It was in every MechWarrior game since 2!

It looks awesome!

And it appears in the epic intro to MW2!

WHY!? WHY!? WHYYYYYYYYYY!? WHY DID IT NOT GET AS MANY VOTES AS IT SHOULD HAVE!?

Because the Kit Fox is ten times more awesome

I prefer IS, but the Vulture/Mad Dog is good

I suppose the Kit Fox is cool, but you didn't present good facts to tell me WHY the Kit Fox is 10x more awesome.

Touche'...?
