I hope this mech comes when the clans come....

What other mechs do we want to see when the clans come?

I just wonder what they will do about the offset head

i just wonder what they'll do about a heavy mech that sports little hardpoint potential? only the hardcore players will want the 2 energy 1 ballistic 1 missle hardpoint mech which stands out like an atlas but with a lot less armour and there are very few of those hardcore players by the looks of what most people are running with these days.

Keeping to the probable lore, the "3050" set will be drawn from the TRO 3050 omnis.

Light:
Fire Moth or Kit Fox. I'd LOVE them to put in the Fire Moth so that we can get the risk-reward of MASC introduced; but the Kit Fox would be sick. Not only does it have nasty ballistic configs (a GAUSS on a 30? Yes please!) it also has a 3 AMS + ECM config. Holy, freaking, missile immunity Bartman.

Medium:
The Viper is a Clan Cicada... but the 55-ton weight class needs some love, so LET THEM EAT 'CROW.

Heavy:
Since the Mad Dog would be kinda redundant of the Stormcrow, I'd rather go with the Hellbie (it looks like a Warhammer ) or the Summoner. Sadly, though, the first Clan heavy is going to be the obvious Timber Wolf, with the Pryde variant as a hero.

Assault:
I'd rather see the Warhawk (how will they do targeting computers?) and the Executioner (again, MASC, but could be confused for an Atlas unless designed for distinction) but I get the feeling most people will call for blood if the Dire Wolf doesn't come first. Also, the Dire Wolf has the obvious "Daishi Widowmaker" hero that PGI simply won't pass up.

And then the Daishi Widowmaker will be fotm as every wannabe Natasha "Black Widow" Kerensky ponies up for it.

"
Alt. Config. C - A close range brawler, the Summoner C is armed with a single ER Large Laser for long range sniping at enemy targets but truly comes into its own at close range. The 'Mech relies on a powerful Ultra Autocannon/20 for quick kill capabilities at close ranges. This is backed up by a highly accurate Streak SRM-6launcher to seek out weak points in an enemy's armor and an ER Small Laser.

ultra 20, streak 6... game over

They'll probably use a system like MW4, where each Omni "configuration" has a combination of fixed and Omni hardpoints. That'd be my guess at least.
