Devs have already said they won't put ECM onto a hero mech,
so more ideas are needed

When exactly did they say that?

[Sennin]

I would like to see an Atlas AS7-D with a Ballistic hardpoint in each torso, no need for missle points, just retain the energy points where they are. I dont even care if you call it the "Pink Fairy Fatlas", at least I could finally use my favorite custom Atlas build.

[Khan Hallis]

I'd just like to see them make some of the "Notable 'Mechs and Warriors" designs from the canon TRO's as hero mechs instead of just creating them out of thin air and ether.

I'm all for seeing a Hero Commando.
LOL

In all honesty I can't remember, but i remember it been quoted on a
similar topic awhile back,
think that was also the topic that mentioned the hunchback with jump jets
hence my idea for the HB with JJ's on my first post here

So let's see if Dev's want to actually answer this... what is the next hero mech chassis?

We've seen over the past few months the implementation of new battlemechs, but alongside these new chassis we've seen the creation of 'hero' mech variants. So I think it's safe to assume that a new 'hero' mech variant will be released on January 15... the question is to what battlemech?

Speculation can abound, I would rather know about the machine prior to being popped out in the patch notes like the dual dragon hero mechs from December where I wasn't aware of them until the day. So what will be the next hero mech or what would you rather see from the BT universe?

STK-3Fb - The 3Fb variant of theStalker carries a Guardian ECM Suite in the center torso, upgrades the large lasers to extended range versions, and adds Artemis IV fire control systems to the LRM-15s that replace the Jackson LRM-10 launchers. The SRM-6 racks are gone, and the standard heat sinks were replaced with seventeen double heat sinks.

We need something underrepresented.

Since FANG and FLAME I've noticed significantly more dragons running around.

We need a hero Awesome.

[Viper69]

I am guessing the hero assault mech will be a highlander. Also our next hero mech will likely be a raven I am guessing.

[Volume]

My money's on the Awesome.

Dev's abandoned the Awesome long ago... Awesome hero isn't going to make them the kind of money Stalker hero will especially since many people are still into the stalker.

I dont care as long as it is an assault.

I have a jenner(founders), Cent(wang) and cata(ilya)

now I need an assult to complete the set

[Vincent Lynch]

A jump-capable Hunchback or a Cicada with a missile hardpoint would make sense.
Or maybe a "Frankenstein" Catapult combining ballistics and missiles, but with no energy hardpoints. (That one I would buy for the lulz.)

[Elizander]

Awesome please... and not the boxy-looking missile one. I don't like how that looks.

Hunchback with jets would be nice.(Which I want for Cbills, not MC) But I guess they're saving that feature for the next Medium.

With the in-game year now being 3050, it is possible that we could see the AWS-9Ma as a hero variant of the Awesome in the near future...

"AWS-9Ma - A customized variant of the stock AWS-9M model that was utilized by Adam Steiner during the 1st Somerset Strikers' liberation of Somerset in the midst of the Clan Invasion, the pulse lasers were removed and the AWS-8Q's standard Small Laser restored, the remaining weight devoted to a Guardian ECM Suite, Command Console and two tons of advanced Communications Equipment. The small laser was moved to the left arm, and forty double heat sinks kept things cool."

The Jade Falcon occupation of Somerset (around which the BattleTech cartoon was focused) apparently lasts from May 3050 to November 3050, so Adam Steiner's -9Ma variant would have been created sometime within that period.

A hero mech with ECM. Can you you imagine! Hahah!

Pretty sure Blackjack or its variant(s) have JJ's.

That's why I said, "the next Medium". But I wouldn't be the slight bit surprised if the next hero had ECM, and is only ECM variant in its lineup.

[Kain]
