I know we're soon to be getting the Flea (20ton), Blackjack (45ton), Orion (75ton) and Highlander (90ton)
But we're missing 55 and 95 ton mech chassis.

To that, here's an option to fill in those blanks (listing only mechs with 3 or more variants):

55 Tons:

Dervish DV-6M (Technical Readout 3025, .62-63)
-Dervish DV-7D (Technical Readout 3050, pp. 126-127)
-Dervish DV-8D (Technical Readout 3050 upgrade, p. 62 under "variants")

Kintaro KTO-18 (Technical Readout 3025 revised, pp. 66-67)
Kintaro KTO-19 (Technical Readout 2750, pp. 32-33)
-Kintaro KTO-20 (Technical Readout 3050 pp. 132-133)

Shadow Hawk SHD-2H (Technical Readout 3025, pp.58-59)
Shadow Hawk SHD-2D (Technical Readout 3025, p.58 under "variants")
Shadow Hawk SHD-2K (Technical Readout 3025, p.58 under "variants")
-Shadow Hawk SHD-5M (Technical Readout 3050, pp. 136-137)

Wolverine WVR-6A (Technical Readout 3025, p. 70 under "variants")
Wolverine WVR-6M (Technical Readout 3025, p. 70 under "variants")
Wolverine WVR-6R (Technical Readout 3025, pp. 70-71)
-Wolverine WVR-7D (Technical Readout 3050, pp. 138-139)
-Wolverine WVR-7M (Technical Readout 3050, p. 138)


----------------------------
95 Tons:

Banshee BNC-3E (Technical Readout 3039, pp. 166-167)
Banshee BNC-3M (Technical Readout 3039, p. 166 under "variants")
Banshee BNC-3Q (Technical Readout 3039, p. 166 under "variants")
Banshee BNC-3S (Technical Readout 3039, p. 166 under "variants")
-Banshee BNC-5S (Technical Readout 3050, pp. 204-205)


Note: Variants preceded with a dash might not yet be available in MWO's current chronology.

*edited to remove 45 and 75 ton mechs from the list as the Blackjack and Orion have been announced (thanks to focuspark and Adridos for pointing this out)

I thought these were already in the works with the

• Trebuchet
  
• Jagermech
  
• Orion
  
• Highlander

[Adridos]

Blackjack and Orion are already announced.

Please, double-check your facts, ten times if you haven't been following the progress.

And as far as 55 tonners are concerned, the former two are garbage, the latter two are unseen.

I was aware of the Highlander (90tonner, that's why I didn't list 90 tonners)
I was not aware of the Orion or Blackjack (hence they're on the list)
Jeagermech's a 65 tonner so has nothing to do with this.
Same with the Trebuche's 50tons

That still leaves a missing 55 ton and a missing 95 ton mech from the list.

Dervish is not going to be in, it doesn't have enough variants: look at the introduction date not what RO/TRO it is in.

By the time they get to it, it may well be 3051

[Eddrick]

I would love to see the ShadowHawk. But, it is among the "Unseen". Wolverine is among the unseen also.

Banshee is most near compleation and ready for announcement. http://mwomercs.com/...-announcements/

Shadow Cat, Ryoken, Mad Cat, Gladiator.

What do I win?

(I know we're already getting 45 and 75. But I still want my Shadow Cat and Mad Cat.)

[Gremlich Johns]

Scat (45), Ryoken (55), Cauldron Born (65), Timber Wolf (75) and Black Lanner (55) for me.

For the Dervish, I think trying to differentiate the variants would be a little difficult under the Dev's current system. Also, the DV-8D is actually from 3062, which would be fine I guess if the time line limitation were ever sped up or removed.

Under their system only the DV-6Md, DV-6M, and DV-7D would be choices. I wouldn't mind if they added it, I'm always for more variety. Hell, I hope this game will have a 100 Mechs or more later on.

The Wolverine is indeed one of those pesky "unseen" things, but the Clan Mech "Conjurer" is a Wolverine IIC, except the tonnage was reduced to 50 tons. Same with the Shadow Hawk, which also might be "reseen" with the SHD-2Hb variant, and the Clan IIC version.

Out of all those for the IS '55'er category, basically the Dervish and Kintaro are the choices, which are fine I think.
