What post release mechs are you looking forward too?

[RelayZero]

I also made a thread on reddit but wanted to see what you guys would think.
So I took the time to sort out all of the 3025 era mechs that PGI has modeled and here are the ones that are yet to be in game. (Or they could be secretly?)

Keep in mind the Warhammer and Marauder are out for legal reasons, and the Raven is out until HBS figure out ECM gameplay.

LIGHT
Flea (announced for MWO not yet in-game)
Wolfhound
Javelin

MEDIUM
Crab
Assassin
Phoenix Hawk

HEAVY
Archer
Rifleman

ASSAULT
Nightstar
Cyclops
Annihilator? We've seen pics of the Atlas II so why not?

Many of these are lostech, so there's a chance that they aren't in the game because they are so rare, but we did end up getting the Black Knight and a possible Atlas II so I wouldn't say lostech would stop HBS. I do think many of these designs are good ideas for a 4th Succession War expansion though!

What mechs do you guys want to see post release? Even non PGI modeled ones. I'm a Crab fan myself, and I also think it's strange that mechs like the Wolfhound, Archer, and Rifleman didn't make it but who knows what the future will hold?

What post release Mech am I most looking forward to?

The Hatchetman... and it seems there is a solid HBS cadre that shares this same hope!

And while PGI has not modeled it, there is hope HBS will cut their teeth on designing their own Mech Data with the Hatchetman itself. HOPE springs eternal it seems! : )

And then PGI will add it and melee combat to MWO!

Didn't HBS already announce that the Flea was going to be in this game? That was at the same time as the MAD/WHM cut and putting the CPLT-K2 in instead, IIRC.
*edit* Nope, I mis-remembered. They announced the Black Knight and Catapult K2 when the MAD and WHM got cut, not the Flea. I think the Flea was teased in some other Facebook posts though, and then MWO announced its release a couple of days after. So maybe we'll get a surprise when the game releases.

Marauder and Warhammer. I understand why they aren't in launch but still disappointed they aren't. To me, those two are the most iconic mechs from this era...

 

[Cyttorak001]

-Javelin, because it will be the only 6/9 30 tonner 'Mech.
-All the mediums, because they are the workhorses of the game. We need all of them.

Sticking with the 3025 Era, @RelayZero has made a pretty solid list. I too would like to see the Annihilator, Javelin, Assassin, Cyclops, and Crab as well.

I also would like the Hatchetman as well when it comes to mechs not yet done by PGI. On top of that, I would also like to see the Champion added as well .

 

[Ozymandious]

I'm still hoping for my scorpion, come on "in success"!

 

[Chaon]

I would just like to see them give us a pack containing four mechs and their variants.

Marauder, Warhammer, Archer and Rifleman.

Those iconic mechs would be a fantastic addition to the game.

Sadly the Phoenix Hawk is also out for legal reasons if I'm not mistaken.

That said:
Lights:
-Wolfhound
-Javelin
-Stinger
-Wasp
Mediums:
-Clint
-Crab
-Enforcer
-Hatchetman
-Phoenix Hawk
Heavy:
-Crusader
-Marauder
-Shootist
-Warhammer
Assault:
-Cyclops
-Goliath...cause...ya know
-Mackie (would be a fun encounter)
-Spartan

There's basically zero chance of HBS including any 'Mech that PGI hasn't modeled yet. Not for any soon-to-be-released expansion, anyway.

I'd love to have the Annihilator and the Rifleman. Add a pair of urbies and have the slowmo-guys Dakka at everything

 

[OathOfFealty]

Give me the Rifleman and I am happy.

 

[Exemplar Voss]

Folks, rifleman, archer, and phoenix hawk have the exact same hurdle as the warhammer and marauder. Expect to hear nothing about then until that is resolved.



Of the ones done by PGI, I'd like to see the javelin and crab. Assassin is a terrible design so I don't really care, and the cyclops has issues.

Wolfhound really doesn't fit. If it exists at all at this point, it's as a handful of prototypes on the other side of the sphere.

For things not on the list, I'd most like to see the whitworth

 

[Junker Egge]

I'm not aware of any Nightstar variants available in 3025, afaik they're all Tech Level 2.

I demand Goliaths though!

 

[dulahan]

First and foremost? The Crab.

Second: Phoenix Hawk

 

[Packrat]

Of the mechs listed, the Wolfhound isn't invented until 3028; the Phoenix Hawk, Archer, and Rifleman face the same problems as the Warhammer and Marauder; and the Nightstar is D-E-D dead for anyone besides ComStar seeing as it has no lostech-free variant.

So, given what's left, I'd most like to see the Crab because I love it, the Annihilator because its unique capabilities would provide something new to the game, and the Javelin to open up the light bracket a bit.

Outside of mechs modeled by PGI, and removing those facing the ongoing problems, my favorites of the era include the Imp, Hoplite, Wyvern, Flashman, Mongoose, Whitworth, and Clint, so I'd be thrilled with any of those.

 

[GenTask]

Anything really, doesn't matter to me.

But Quads definitely.

Well... According to Sarna it's original production start year was 2767, so it COULD be possible...technically. I think it is one of those situations where the mech became extinct (looks like around the First Succession War), and had resumed production much later in the timeline (looks like a few years post clan invasion).

I'd imagine it could be added in like other mechs thought to be extinct such as the Black Knight, Catapult K2, and King Crab, although I wouldn't imagine you would find one still carrying it's LosTech loadout by 3025 (unless you stumbled across a pristine Star League era one hiding somewhere).

This would be nice. I
