As much as I'd love an Orion (and I do; it's one of *very* few IS heavies I even like), the Cicada being a FWL-centric Mech (so I read) probably puts the tombstone on that. =(

So in lieu of the Orion, I'll take a Crusader. Missiles on my Hips! What? MISSILES ON MY HIPS!

[Thoven Battlebeard]

when are you able to donlode the free to play version or they havent set a date?..

[Steel Talon]

we cant miss Jagermech, but situation wise, we need some upper tonage heavy since we got 60 ton dragon, "altilery", so 70+ tonner is better choice right now

Black Knight and Mauler

[Vexgrave Lars]

Best guesses

Heavy :Orion, just to ingrained in the game not to be out there.

Assault :Highlander, for the same reason.

orion would be nice for a heavy
zeus for an assault

Those would be my choices as well...

[vortmax]

Mechs I'd like to see:

Light: Javelin. Both the 10N (2xSRM6) and 10F (4xML) versions. Fits the "scout with a punch" role.
Medium: Griffin. Mobile long-range support.
Heavy: Thunderbolt. Big, ugly, and badass.
Assault: Banshee. Not the 3E, but the 3M and 3S versions.

[Ross486]

They need to put in a heavy next i think it should be the Orion but if it is a assault it should be the Victor or Zeus.

I want to see the 70-ton Cataphract

My vote is for the Stalker for the Assault and either the Grasshopper or Jaggermech for the Heavy. I would think the Grasshopper though cuz it has good jumping ability and would round out the Heavies nicely.

Caesar is better!!!

[Shadow HHGD]

Would love to see the Thunderbolt myself, but as for assaults,,, it would not suprise me if they threw out all the previose named and add a Charger

[Shadow HHGD]

Seconded. Those would be my top two Heavy & Assault choices for the next reveals.
I'd love to see all the basic mechs eventually, but those two would be interesting choices for me.

I'd be overjoyed with a Banshee, but something tells me its not high on the release list.

[Barantor]

I would like the grasshopper and cyclops myself. Didn't expect the cicada so I think it is anyone's guess.

[tyrone dunkirk]

Seeing as how the newest is still not an unseen ( though I've been wanting to see the Cicada for a long time ) I'm even more worried

[Orzorn]

I hope the heavy will be something like a Highlander or a Mauler. A Mauler would be great because we don't currently have a ballistics dedicated assault. We have a generalist in the Atlas, an energy boat in the Awesome, so the Mauler would fit right in.

[Corbon Zackery]

Yea the cicada was a nice pick 40 ton mechs are fun to play with and it has that nice 8/12 speed. A Jenner with 5 more tons to play with.

Will throw a wild card into the deck and go for a (drumroll):

Charger!!!!!!!!!!!

The Charger was designed by [color="#ba0000"]Wells Technologies[/color] as a scout 'Mech designed to survive contact with the enemy. This was done by building the Charger on an 80-ton frame, making it the heaviest scout 'Mech in existence. In order to carry out its mission as a scout, the Charger is powered by a massive LTV 400 fusion engine that takes up almost sixty percent of the Charger's mass. The Charger is armored with ten tons of armor, which is more than adequate for its role as a scout 'Mech. If faced with a 'Mech of similar size, the Charger uses its speed of 86.4 km/h to evade an attacker.

[Redshift2k5]

I'd rather see a forth medium than a third Assault or Heavy

[Stormwolf]

Caesar or Cataphract would be nice, especially since neither have ever appeared in any mechwarrior games.
