Your Favorite Mech of All Time
« on: November 28, 2007, 09:49:08 PM »
There can be only One.
If you had to choose, between all the Mechs in Battletech, which would you choose, and why.

Personally, the Thor, is my favorite Mech of all time. From a visual standpoint, he's just intimidating looking (ala mech3 intro for example) he has solid humanoid chassis, and huge cannon on his shoulder. He's more like a Heavy Arms Grunt-type Mech. Not Excessive, Overburdened, Flimsy or Weak.

I feel, from a tonnage standpoint, he fits all around as a good mix of power, speed, and survivability making him almost untouchable when properly configured and piloted.

Can anyone else choose only one?
It's a hard decision.

Like I stated in another thread, I would chose the Marauder.  This choice is mainly for nostalgic reasons.

I've always preferred nimble, maneuverable mechs. Kitfox/Uller has always been a favorite for the light range. Timberwolf for the heavy range.

I can't say 'without a doubt' any one mech ruled all of my choices though since I've not always had an available choice (league drops ONLY back in the day), it's kind of made me a jack of all trades.

i think its unfair that "there can be only one"..lol

i have my favorites in each class.. but as i stated before in a previous thread.. the Kodiak.. 

reason.. over all power.. sure the Atlas and Daishi are in the same class but to me the Kodiak is more threating to behold.  it just looks like it is going to ruin everyones day..


(Timberwolf is my second and a long time ago (when i played pen and paper cbt.. i loved the Warhammer...)

I have always prefered mechs that are can serve in almost any role, general workhorse mechs.  As such I am going to have to go with the Enforcer.  Decent mix of weapons it could acually use.  This is from Table top of course, I don't think it ever made it into a sim.

Cougar. Fairly fast light 'Mech that ran around and packed a pretty big punch. Mainly because of the fun I had piloting it in MW4 Mercenaries.

First off Shadow Cat, there is no mech with a better balance of speed, agility, and firepower than the fabled Scat. 

Secondly I am RIDICULOUSLY excited for this mod to come out. That no new mechwarrior has come out since 2002 is ludicrous (Microsoft I hate you so much...) Anyways I just wanted to rant about how much I miss Mechwarrior series and am extremely appreciative of all the hard work the MWLL is putting into this project.

Command Hellbringer... Long range capability, fairly maneuverable, excellent electronics.  I am only recalling this from MW4, since that is all the Mech experience I have.

Hard Choice.

ShadowCat's I think, they are just increadibly awesome and thier jumpjets make everything all the better.  However I've never been that great at them, but I often liked them.

I really in-general like the medium class mechs overall.  Lightmechs are a meanace, but hard to use, and I've never liked to idea of being a walking target in an Atlas, despite thier immense firepower.  Medium seem to the perfect fit :)

I know my mech OLD school but the Archer ARC-2R,  $6.3mil just a simple pair of LRM20
s with 2tons of ammo each and 4 Medium laser.

The reason being was play in a back in the day before the clan and Er laser and Double heat sinks on a 2x2 map grid with one of the 4 maps having a Lake on a hill. As I was in the middle of that lake just Firing off Missile salvo after salvo when with a flight time of 4 turns I get a Direct hit on my mech CT from a Full size long tom cannon (note that short range pos M$ call a long tom) The Following round I get hit agian in the CT of my mech. No Crit's on my mech I had no CT armor left but I was still standing and Firing those LRM's will a cloud of steam all around my mech for 30-45m. 

In CBT so you know
Longtom hit so hard that any mech with in about 15m of the shell landing take 20 points of damage and if between 16-45m from where the shell hit you take 10points of damage
