Stalker 2 is a solid buisness move. MWO styled Stalker > Ral partha Stalker. Would have the same perk that the dragon 2 and BK had by doubling its uses for old and new eras.

Agreed. I'd love to see this.

They would probably have to cast the spikes separately like they did for the toes of the Bruin.

The problem I see with the Porcupine is, all the extra steps required to Produce it would Probably drive the price up. Who wants to buy a Light 'Mech for the price of an Assault? :-\

Siberian-troll · « **Reply #64 on:** 09 September 2014, 02:16:48 »

Just ask Mr. Balk for it :)
I suppose you don't really want a half-dozen of Porcupines on your shelf, then, why bother with mass-production?

The CLR-03-O Celerity. I want my ROTS force to go all drone happy on my enemies.

Totally agree. Hopefully they'll be able release them in ProtoMech size so they release them in packs of 4.

Agreed. Right now, whether you're trying to go for Revenants or M5s, drone forces are EXPENSIVE to build...it's taking me forever to gather enough Caspars to make them worth fielding. :-\

I'm rather late to the party but; Vandal with variant parts. I would buy them by the dozen so I could have a boosted C3 company of only one chassis :D

After that I'd say Ursa and Stalking Spider II

txMaddog · « **Reply #69 on:** 21 September 2014, 15:51:59 »

RVN-5X Raven II - cause it's a Raven!!

LK-3D Antlion - Quad mechs need love too!

STK-9A Stalker II - Stalker needs a new mini and I love that art work for this one.

Daishi411 · « **Reply #70 on:** 21 September 2014, 16:19:25 »

For me some of the coolest quads we've ever had came out of 3145 stuff (with the exception of the Antlion). I'd love to see the Sarath, Ursa and Jaguar in particular (noting that fact that the Trebaruna and the thunder fox still haven't seen mini form).

Other than those three I would love to see the Scourge (a better looking Jinggau IMO), the Mortis (I liked the fluff in the TRO) and the Centurion CN11 with arm parts included for the hatchet and shield variant 8) and Wendigo/Avalanche

It would also be cool if we got a RAC 2 arm piece for the DA firestarter for the online store

GreekFire · « **Reply #71 on:** 21 September 2014, 16:46:11 »

The Stalker II would be nice to have, I'm not a fan of the current Stalker sculpt and would love to have a decently made Stalker II to replace it.

Lu Wei Bing for the same reasons...not a huge fan of the current Victor.

Mattlov · « **Reply #73 on:** 21 September 2014, 22:53:14 »

I still want to see the Trebaruna from 3085, personally.

Wolf Lancer 4 · « **Reply #74 on:** 22 September 2014, 11:13:09 »

The Tomahawk II and Black Wolf BA.

As long as the Tomahawk is done well I plan on getting 10 of them at least.

ShockaTime · « **Reply #75 on:** 22 September 2014, 11:44:24 »

For me, the Battle armor, vehicles and aerospace sections stole the show. I would do dirty things to get my hands on a Nagasawa, and you can pretty much pick any BA you want and I'll take it (though I'd really like an Amazon, and a Sea Fox for some reason), and a Kite recon vehicle is awesome, the Swallow, and some Hippogriff protomechs would be fantastic just to name a few.

As for mechs, I would like to see a Templar III, Violator, Centurion (shield and hatchet bits would be bonus), Sarath, Jaguar, Ursa, Night Stalker, and Loki II

JadeHellbringer · « **Reply #76 on:** 22 September 2014, 16:40:32 »

Did plans get announced for the Kodiak II? Because I despise the original sculpt and have been wanting a Battletech-scale version of the Dark Age/MW4 Kodiak since I first laid eyes on it.

I have taken the responses so far and put them into a spreadsheet (I had some spare time and was curious). Separate tabs for the counting of absolute votes and relative votes (each person 1 vote). Then I took the top 20 of each tab and compared them alphabetically, and the funny thing is that both mostly matches.

shop1ift · « **Reply #78 on:** 22 September 2014, 22:56:29 »

Gauntlet
Sarath
Gotterdammerung
Stalker II
Viking IIC

Having viewed the data I'd like to say I'm happy to see the Avalanche on the list. While not my top pick I'd certainly buy a few for my Amphigeans and mercs.

SteelWarrior · « **Reply #80 on:** 23 September 2014, 09:14:23 »

I hope they stick to the theme of doing varient bits for the rest of the 3145 releases. Alot easier to buy 3 of a nice sculpt if you have 3 different ways to build it :D

Wrangler · « **Reply #81 on:** 23 September 2014, 09:25:37 »

I'd like to see more work horse Mechs come out first, since they'll end up being the one's we'll see rolled up and in a scenario.

I'd like add vote also the:
Gambit
Avalanche
Hound
Uraeus
Scourge

From 3145 None. Don't like the dark age styling, overall. An exception would be the Thunder fox from 3085.

I'd rather see the predator and shillelagh tanks so far as 3145 stuff goes.

I've always been curious about this because it's something that's come up over the years, but what do people mean when they refer to 'dark age styling?' It's obviously subjective, but I don't see a real difference between the 'styling' of the units in TRO 3075 to the ones in 3145 (with the notable exception of things like the ares and quad vees), made even more difficult by the different art styles of the various artists.

The more blocky designs, often with "X" patterns on flatter areas, external ammo feeds. THe best example I have is looking at a Warhawk and looking at a Cygnus. The designs are similar, but there is an obvious aesthetic shift. Some people don't like that.

JPArbiter · « **Reply #86 on:** 29 September 2014, 21:47:32 »

one other thing I forgot, A Gauntlet Omnimech but with parts to emulate the Bushwhacker as well as the Gauntlet. kill two birds with one stone that way.

GRUD · « **Reply #87 on:** 30 September 2014, 00:31:31 »

I don't care much for the MWDA Hatchetman (though the hatchet it carries is wicked-looking), and I think the MWDA Spider is Hideously FUGLY. :P I DO like the MWDA Firestarter though. O0

don't forget the cylanders that stick out from a lot of the designs. i still haven't figured out that those are- i'm working under the assumption they're related to SL-era plug-and-play style freezers, but that's a shot in the dark.....
