I want me my Spider! Gawd I love that mech.

[Shalmyan Moonsong]

Hard one like many others so many good choices...

Someone mentioned cheap/light mechs and lest be honest, as a noob that is what you are going to start with, there will be no Warhammers, or Atlas's for a new roll character.

so for light mechs to start with, Jenner (Project Phoenix Variant) , Owens, Wolfhound, or maybe a Mongoose for giggles.
what would I like to work my way up to... Archer (The Pride of Morgen Kell), Executioner, Avatar, or Marauder

As for clan I have always had a soft spot for the Turkina C

This is a site that has every Mech made out of LEGO. For quick visual references of the chassis.

This makes me want to buy a mass of legos

Seconded!

Perhaps someone (Catalyst? PGI? MekTek? Someone else entirely?) might considering licensing and producing those as sets for tie-in promotions and such...?

[Shenlong13]

Panther if we start out in lights or a Grasshopper if we can start in heavies.

[hoax]

As the Innerspehre goes I like the Catapult and the Warhammer. The Warhammer especially.

When it comes to the Clan mechs, I think the obvious choice is the Summoner. Mobile, balanced weaponry, all-around doom-bringer.

Urbanmech.

I've been seeing a lot of love for the urbie from good 'ol Rasalhague, does the faction have a particular affinity for that mech or is it just coincidence?

[Johnathon Henrick]

As long as I can start in my beloved Cougar, I wouldn't mind working my way up to the others =]

[Harlequin4457]

Marauder shall always be my first love!

[IONTIGER]

I will settle for the awesome looking catapult. Can't go wrong with 4 med lasers, jump jets and two lrm 15s.
Maybe a pheonix hawk lam.... heh.

I see the munchkinism is strong in this thread. I think I'll waive the Mech and go for something like the CSV Blake's Strength. Try to "duel" that with a Mech...

Mhm, you obviously never heard of that fine piece of rasalhaguean poetry that sits at the core of each FRR mech pilot's beliefs. Well, I'm gonna help you out, read and shiver with... awe.

The charge of the Urbie brigade

Half a klick, half a klick,

Half a klick onward,

All in the valley of Death

Walked the six hundred.

‘Forward, the Urbie Brigade!

Charge for the Assaults!’ he said:

Into the valley of Death

Crawled the six hundred.

‘Forward, the Urbie Brigade!’

Was there a Mech dismay’d?

Not tho’ the pilots knew

Someone had blunder’d:

Their’s not to make reply,

Their’s not to reason why,

Their’s but to do and die:

Into the valley of Death

Walked the six hundred.

Dire Wolfs to the right of them,

Gladiators to the left of them,

Warhawks in front of them

Volley’d and thunder’d;

Storm’d at with shot and shell,

Boldly they advanced and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of Clan-Hell

Walked the six hundred.

Flash’d all their ACs bare,

Flash’d as they turn’d in air

Shooting the assault Mechs there,

Charging a Clan Galaxy, while

All the IS wonder’d:

Plunged in the battery-smoke

Right thro’ the line they broke;

Freeborns both and Trueborns

Reel’d from the AC volleys

Shatter’d and sunder’d.

Then they turned back, but not

Not the six hundred.

Dire Wolfs to the right of them,

Gladiators to the left of them,

Warhawks behind them

Volley’d and thunder’d;

Storm’d at with shot and shell,

While Urbie and pilot fell,

They that had fought so well

Came thro’ the jaws of Death,

Back from the mouth of Hell,

All that was left of them,

Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade ?

O the wild charge they made!

All the world wonder’d.

Honour the charge they made!

Honour the Urbie Brigade,

Noble six hundred!

In memoriam Tyra Miraborg, yes, the Kamikaze spirit still lives!

Sorry for the initial formatting issues, bloody forum software decided all of suddent to go totally bonkers on me here. Think I'll give up before it screws it up even more...
