What Mech would you have liked WK to have made??
« on: 01 February 2011, 20:15:55 »
New-ish forum.  And since this topic appeared every 6-9 months, I figured why not??  So let's do it again.

What figure, if WKG was still making figures, would you have liked to see?
Or if WKG did finish the Outlaws set, what figure would you want to see in that set?

Of course everyone wanted to see that Archer that was going to be the S-VII Campaign set (they should have made just that one Mech and the Rally cards -sold it $15 -easy money -but I get side tracked), so let's not mention that one.

If you could have 1 or 2 Mechs in the MW game, what would they have been?

For me I always wanted to see a Crusader and Awesome.  Those are my top 2.  What are yours???

I would liked all the Project Phoenix mechs made. And redo the out-of-scale ones. Given the history of these mechs, they would have the most universal appeal.

The other ones I would love made are the Celestial mechs. And make them into the true Republic totem mechs   }:) It would have been a great swan-song if they came out right at the end of MWDA's life and coincide with their introduction in the Battletech game.

I would have loved a Warhawk.

A Thug would have been fun, as would a Blitzkrieg and Hollander.

Awesome

Nailed it.

A Dragon Fire would be nice too, but only because it's the only 'Mech of a killer BT lance I use that hasn't been clicky-fied... kind of (the clicky Templar is an abomination so a resculpt of that would also be most welcome).

I always wanted the Cauldron Born and the Bushwacker.

Seconding those, too. MW3 memories. :)

Gotta go with the Masakari/Warhawk.  An Archangel would be cool too now that I've seen one sculped to the correct scale.

just about all of mine would be reteats of whats above. But my all time favorite mech was a Dire Wolf and the Daishi just didnt cut it for me. I want the rounded off face and the set back arms.

Also redo the Ares make them the fighting machines a 125+ ton mech should be. I wanna see more fire power than a stalone movie.

A Dragon would have been fun, I think.  Masakari/Warhawk, yeah



And though I'm not well-versed in CBT...An Archangel.  Yeah.  Those things are   :D

Yeah those custom guys love the MW3/4 Mechs.  Even without stats we can see some on those other BT forums.

But I'm new to MW, so I'm not sure my choices are valid?
Yes, all the choices are valid.  I courious as to what units poeple would have wanted in MW. 

An Archangel would be cool too now that I've seen one sculped to the correct scale.
Yeah I just fell in love with it too.  (blush see avatar)

So many great designs.  The more poeple talk about different designs, the more I go.  "Yeah, I would have loved that in clicky!"

Keep it going.

I had hoped to see another champions pack as well giving the winners a little more freedom to design and armor there own units. It wouldnt have been that hard to let a winner design something all his own.

It wouldn't be hard to let the champions design their own mech, but would it be balanced?

With some of the fluff and the purple prize mech that came out just before MW died I was hoping we would see FWL as a faction come out. So I would have liked to seen some FWL faction mechs come out such as the Orion, Anvil, Albatross, Cerberus, Grand Titan, and the already mentioned Awesome. Blitzkrieg would have been interesting too.

It would have still been Wizkids putting a point cost on the thing, so...

Arch Angel all day. Also not sure if they did it or not but a Sagittaire would of been nice.

I definitly wanted to see more classic designs.  However, for some reason, WKs just kept ignoring the calls for classic designs.  Too bad really.  I am glad that they resculpted the Catapult.  The original WK model was sooooo ugly.

The two mechs that I wanted to see were the Urban mech...he he... and the Hunchback.  Nice, solid classics that everyone would either love to play or love to laugh about.  I sculpted my own Urban Mech just to spite Kelley B and her hatred of the design.  I startd a hunchback and may revisit the project.  An Argus would have been fun as well.  It would have been awesome to drop a whole Urban Mech lance on the board.

I had culture shock(?) when i first started  MWDA. the mining/forestry/ect mechs turned me off  from the game for a while...that and i didn't get any "real" mechs for few boosters =\

Oh I forgot. I always liked the turkina model :)

Urbanmech.

Seriously- it would have fit the 'use what we have around' feel of the early sets beautifully. It would have been a great addition to the feel of the universe.

Jagermech, particularly post Age of destruction.  picture a cheap as hell heavy, with access to all the heavy gear, an 18 inch ballistic 3 damage Primary and a 8 inch 3 damage secondary.  sure it has an 18 or 19 defense rating, but you have so much potential for havoc, and you will have to wade through much more stuff then I do.

Have to agree but the mini for a Jagermech III would have looked way cooler. but the armorment of a Jagermech would have been far better for game play.

Also wouldnt have minded to see the scupt of a Pulverizer!

Pffff... So many mechs, so little time...

Assaults: The pre-mentioned Behemoth, Masakari, and definitely the Hauptmann. I'd really like some Hauptmann/Highlander combos, and have always had a soft spot for the Scylla.
Heavies: Hellfire. It needed a resculpt anyway. ^.^ Jinggau as well-but just because I want one. Or two. Or a demi-lance.
Mediums: The Blacks-Lanner and Jack. Crimson Langur, Rabid Coyote, Men Shen, Clint. What can I say? It's my favorite weight class! ^.^
Lights: Fireball, Piranha, Nexus and Jackrabbit? We need more ninety-point mechs anyway.

I'll just leave it at that for now.

Although that Industrial Quad would be nice...
