Black Knight all the way

[Scurvy]

Highlander, Crab and Thug are my top picks.

Voted Highlander.

[Bianca Flowers]

Highlander.... its an Atlas that Jumps!

second choice: Mongoose. Its a heavy duty recon mech that packs enough firepower to fight its way out of trouble

[Atlas3060]

Thug 4 life, for the days when dueling Warhammers is fun!
"Hey 'Hammer pilot I'm drinking my warm coffee and placing it on my dashboard.
If you were to do it chances are you'll shut down that 'Mech!"

[Der BruzZzler von Wiesndoof]

I've voted for the Champion! (Black Knight close second)

Good looking mech with nice armaments.
Mechwarrior 3-feeling comes up!

[Rhinehart]

Have to say the Black Knight in all it's versions. One of the few Mech's that can actually stand up to a Clan Omni with a chance of winning. Energy weapon config saves the cost of all that ammo or Strip the PPC and replace with an autcannon or Gauss to bring the heat level down. I've cloned Black Knight fittings on mechs when it wasn't in that particular game and played it in every mission possible in MW4 and MW4 Mercs and had a ball. Replaced the PPC with an LBX 20 and won the MW4 Mercs Solaris grand championship with it. A nice machine for us non-missile friendly types.

Plus the character of it. The Black Knight represents the ultimate outsider, whether it's Richard the Lionheart in disguise or Darth Vader. Perfect Mech for a Merc with a tough but Shady Rep.

I...like the Sentinel. Sure, it's nothing fantastic, but it was the first medium-mech I piloted in a MechWarrior title.

Honorable mention to the Hussar. A 'mech that runs 150+ KPH and packs an ER large laser? I'll take two, thanks.

The Sentinel got a bad reputation because they lost the tech to make the good versions for many years (in the game lore).
My picks are the Flashman and the Crab. Lazer-boats FTW!
I'll mention the Sentinel only because I used it EVERY time I played MW2:Mercs, since it was the only upgrade you could afford to buy after your first training missions.

The speed and laser are nice but the only problem with it is it's armor. One hit, even from a Medium laser and your in trouble.
I do like hussars though, i just don't like being dead.

No votes for the Mercury, ancestor to the OmniMech? I would have thought it would be an obvious choice for the Clanners.

[CrescentHawk]

Highlander hands down. Theres nothing better than a jumping assault mech with reinforced legs for landing on other mechs. Highlander Burial for the win.

[Paladyne]

Wait....Black Knight rare!!!!!!!! What you smoking it is the premiere command mech for Marik, it is the signature mech of many Marik Warriors. The Knight is as marik as the Mad is Davion or the hauptman is steiner, it is our dragon and our raven, please do not take my sunshine away!!!!

[Hellgardia]

Black Knight takes my vote on this one

[Rain Man the Excellently]

HUSSAR! Only because in the card game it was free to deploy. Terrible, but cheap... and that's ok in my books.

[Die0X]

Highlander, no doubt!

[DFDelta]

I'm surprised the King Crab has 12 votes, I did always think that I'm the only one who likes that thing.

[Ogre Magi]

I my mind its the Thug, its a good mech that can take a lot of damage, std engine and a great heat curve.

[Sporkosophy]

Kintaro for SRM lulz.

[Reoh]

What's that in the sky?! Is it a bird? Is it a Plane?

...

Reoh's Highlander burys you in the ground.

[Phades]

Didn't think there was this many crab people. Quite interesting.
