What mech are you looking forward to pilot in this game?

Mine is the centrorian.

[Hayden]

I'm holding out hope for the unseen, but failing that I have high hopes for the Charger. I want my 80 ton scout 'mech!

EDIT: That said... if I had to chose from what's currently laid out, I'd have to say the Commando...

I really want to pilot a Raven.

[Orzorn]

Commando.

I want to unleash SRM fury into the backsides of unsuspecting mechs.

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

Old IS BattleMechs?

I would love to ride a ...

[Fetladral]

Of the ones released? The Centurion.

I still want a Firestarter (not the flamer version but the one with ppc) maybe a Hollander 2

[Stormwolf]

The Centurion and Dragon out of the current selection.

Don't worry, booze will fix that problem.

Catapault

lol so I can have weapons in the torsos instead and people will shoot off the ears that had no missiles

[fearfactory]

I hope they throw in all of the BattleTech introductory box set 'Mechs. There is no reason why those should not be in this game.

[Catharsis]

Of the mechs we have seen so far, I am looking forward to the Catapult and the redesign of the Centurion. Both of them look soo much better with Flying Debris' art.

As for what mechs I would personally like to pilot... Ebon Jaguar and Stormcrow.

I think that there is a constraint that they can only include a limited number of mechs since there are so many other areas for them to work on at this point.

ok Im hopeing for the Raven , as that is the role i would like to play (scout ecm)

but I think it would really be fun to ride in an "Urban mech" , ya ya laugh , But it would be fun!

[Godfridus]

I would love to play the Thunderbolt....When I play Mecwarrior table, that was my favorite Mech.

[Steel Prophet]

Hoping for Archer... until i get this one i guess i'll have to stick with the Catapult.

For me, the four that jump out at me are the Jenner, Hunchback, Catapult, and Awesome.

Jenner has been a main mech for me in almost every game I've played (CCG, MW2, TT primarily), has always had a rediculous amount of firepower for a mech of it's size, fast, and about the only thing I dont like is the extended cockpit that can be cherry-picked for easy headshots. Still, she's been reliable for years, and I wouldnt give her up for anything.

Hunchback is the brawling mech I would love to have pushing the lines. It's AC20 makes the Hunchback scary no mater what mech you're bringing, if it lands the shot, you're crippled if not outright dead. It's one of the few mechs I feel that has a chance against alot of mechs in the Heavy classification, and I feel will be one of the stronger mechs avalible on launch.

Catapult is the support mech I've been looking for. While others cringe at missle-boating, I've always enjoyed it since it forces people to cover, and the damage is not direct, so dispite you taking alot of it, it's going to be cascaded all around your mech. That being said, if they have a critical system like in TT, this will be a boon for the Catapult to render parts inoperable.

Awesome is exactly what the title says. It's a long-range sniping mech with some of the best range avalible. It's one of the few assault mechs that doesnt need to be 100 tons to be effective. In fact, I am kinda doubting the Atlas and it's abilities compared to the Awesome. This is by far my heavy mech of choice (Unless the release a Stalker, but that's another discussion).

As for mechs that are not 'unseen' that havent been released, I'd have to give more thought on. Quite frankly, I'd like to make sure there is a mech with default specs geared towards Sniping, Missle Support, Brawling, Skirmishing, and Command in each wieght class. (Jenner - Skirmisher, Commando - Brawler, Panther - Sniper, etc)

[Morashtak]

Going to give both the Centy and Dragon a test ride. See which one is the right balance in top speed, torso twist speed and turn radius.

[Kale Cytair]

Catapult. Fire support, one each.

[corpse256]

I would like to see the cougar and the templar but cougar would just be fine for me, god I love that scout mech little guy with big punch. Oh I also would like to see a Timberwolf make a comeback instead of the crappy mad cat. I hate the mad cat just lasers .

ones on the list jenner I loved it in mechwarrior for SNES good to see it back again!!
