Catapult - new nose, probably a sensor package, BAP or ECM of sorts
Jenner - probably comes with a stream SRM missile system vs the dumb-fire SRMs or a MASC system installed
Atlas - advanced optics with gauss rifle?
Hunchback - added chin... umm? more leg room? LOL! sorry, probably a sensor package as well given the senor array on the head
Kinda curious why the other 'Mechs were not chosen for the "Founder 'Mech" options... but oh well...
All in all... I can't wait, but must... time off request has been put in at work and my GF will have to do without for the week LOL!
Bonus only applied to the "Founder 'Mechs"...
"Exclusive custom "Founder's BattleMech." This 'Mech includes a lifetime, per-match C-Bill booster." looks like only the 'Mech of your choice...
I expect these mechs were chosen as the Founder bonus mechs because there were the first four to be complete, giving them the most time to have a second pass for alternate modeling. I also expect the same four are the starting line up, from which everyone will receive their first free starter mech- Meaning, those who buy the Operation:Inception packages are not getting two starter mechs, but getting a special skin FOR their starter mech.

Yep, this is how I see it as well, which is more then fine with me.

O:I Hunchback > Standard Hunchback
O:I Atlas > Standard Atlas
O:I Jenner = Standard Jenner
For the model, not the texture. Black and yellow wins every time!
EDIT: Inception Jenner has side windows so you aren't limited to tunnel vision, so I would give that the thumbs up too!

I don't think they intend to give the Veteran/elite guys two free starter mechs, so I expect the custom cosmetics and Cbill bonus would be applied to your single starter mech (since I believe Jenner/Hunchback/Catapult/Atlas will be the starting line up)
with your $80 wortth of in-game currency you can surely buy a regular Hunchback to go along with your founder mech Cat or Atlas

I understand what you are saying but....it's not two free starter mechs, everyone gets one, you PAID for the inception bonus mech.

Actually it looks like they added some real thin side windows to the Jenner; it pushed the whole window assembly out by a foot or two. Not quite enough to match up with the game screens we've seen, but at least the bones are there. And they reduced the window space of the Catapult as well.

I know that it has no actual 'boost' you know perfectly well what I meant. To be fair, your Idea is a sound one, and thats what I'm probably going to do. I know I sound crazy, but I just don't like the look. It frustrates me that that all the other 'mechs look BADA$$, and the Catapult looks like a Raven someone duct-taped LRMs to.
On the plus side, this is my ONLY QUALM with the game so far.

Know what, I'm actually going to take back what I said. Now that I think about it, it doesn't look as bad as I thought. I'll wait to see it ingame.
Ok, other than that, so glad PGI is doing this!

Not really a fan of any of those 4 even if the art is ok (I prefer snub nosed catapult myself, point nose catapult = no way for me) unless we get access to variants for our Founder mech. To much not known to be sure so I'm going to just say it's either between the catapult or the hunchback for me (I'd rather take the Atlas, but I figure there's going to be five billion of those running around already).
