I know this is listed other places, but I wanted to star a new one.

Confirmed mechs:

Light:
Commando
Flea
Spider
Jenner
Raven

Medium
Blackjack
Cicada
Hunchback
Centurion
Trebuchet

Heavy
Dragon
Catapult
Cataphract
Jagermech
Orion

Assault
Awesome
Highlander
Stalker
Atlas

What I want to see are two 55 ton mechs:

Shadowhawk
Someone, somewhere, somehow has to be able to make artwork for this mech that would make it seen again.

Wolfman
Yes it is not pure cannon. But it has been around for as long as I can remember. It is a wolverine torso with rifleman arms. Two AC/5s and two Medium Lasers in the arms moving at 5/8. Great direct fire support mech with a cool look.

Wolfman: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Wolfman

"The Wolfman was first created by Valdis Ullman, a MechWarrior belonging to the Legion of Vega, on Bergman's Planet during the Second Battle of Ryersson in 2986. Originally piloting a Wolverine, his BattleMech got damaged in a fight with a Davion Marauder, with most of it's upper body damaged or destroyed. Fortunately, a Davion Rifleman had been destroyed only a hundred metres away from his 'Mech. The Rifleman had suffered damage to its torso and legs. Ullman's personal technician, Sharis Brand thought that the two 'Mechs could be merged together, taking the intact legs and hips from Ullman's Wolverine and combining it with the torso and arms from the Rifleman."

Light: Firestarter. I know, yet another 35t 97.2kph. Just wait until the flamers and MGs are working better, the FS9-H will be the troll king of the battlefield. GLORIOUS BURNING DAKKA. (Though still "free" to Streak Heroes unless that gets fixed.)

Medium: Any of the 55 ton "Dougram Trio." Though I'm partial to Griffins, the Wolverine and Shadow Hawk bring ballistics which make them a touch more interesting.

Heavy: Thunderbolt, end of line. Don't need Rifleman since we already have the K-atapult and upcoming JagerMech (and the Cataphract, for that matter) that can run ballistic/energy. But that old-timey Thunderbolt and its do-anything attitude... yep yep.

Assault: If I had to pick one... sadly, the Atlas DDC is in, because I'd totally go for the Cyclops. No, to heck with that noise, I'm going with the Cyclops. Also, the King Crab, just because.

Don't count out the Unseen yet. I have had suspicions for a while that the deal may yet come through even after all the years of Harmony Gold's stubborness. Examine the tonnages announced so far - it appears PGI is leaving room open, just in case.

I'd like to see another 100 ton Mech besides the Atlas. The Marauder II would be nice, but it doesn't seem too likely.

The Mackie. You know you want it!

My favorite mechs always cycled when growing up, but I've been a fan of the IS Thug, Axeman, Cyclops, and Flashman. I'm a bit of a Falcon fan when it comes to clan mechs. The Summoner, Hellbringer, and Night Gyr make me happy inside.

Yes it is part of the other Robotech mecha. Not the TV series.

Thunderbolt or Crusader would be cool.

Banshee or Hatamoto-Chi, I want an Assault mech that isn't terribly slow.
