Here is the new poll  to be vote on five different Archive products. The top three at the end of the poll will be available on the website as Online Exclusives for purchase without the Archive fee. So this poll will expire around July 5th 2012 and the top three Archive Products will return for sale without the Archive fee for July 2012.

Gotta love the War Dog, even with the OS-SSRM2s and the asymmetrical armor.

First time I used one, I got decent use out of all its weapons, even the rear-mounted SPL.

Hmm, no need for any of those 3 mechs, but I could get behind the tanks.
I've used the Challenger in the past & enjoyed it.   (The new Twin-Gauss C3Master is brutal)

Maelstrom gets my vote since I was one of the folks who asked for it  O0

That said IMHO we have a really great selection of units for this poll. I'll be happy no matter the outcome.

The Challenger is by far the most common of these within the BT Universe.  I encourage more people to get them.

went with the bowman purely for faction loyalty
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

I voted Maelstrom because I don't have one, but, sadly it looks like it's in last place.

Two big tanks to choose from? This one was hard! In the end, I went with the Challenger, since it has a recently published variant.

I have twenty four Challenger tanks, I have a WarDog, I don't have the Mars so it gets my vote.
I don't set an example for others. I make examples of them.

OK,   I'll say it,  I'm shocked the WarDog has pulled into 1st place.

Its such a weird (lesser) design, useless OS launchers, way too much Gauss ammo, mismatched armor, kinda ugly looking, uses the LPL, not exactly the kind of thing I would have expected to be in the lead.
