I gotta go with the Matador. Mini-wise though? The Lobo edges it out on pure terribleness. Eeesh.

Hey, leave my Jackal alone!  ;D

New choice! Jagermech III, that thing is literally a trash can on legs.

The Mandrill and the Balius are the first that come to mind.

The idea of "totem" 'mechs wasn't a bad one, but I really think the artists were grasping for straws with those in particular.

I actually like the Yu-Huang from the waist up, but it's got some spindly thighs for an assault machine....


The bulk of the clicky-tech DA stuff look like garbage- a far, far cry from the awesomeness of the original TROs 3025, 3050 and 3055.

Of the DA stuff, only the Firestrarter, Shirop and Hatchetman are presentable in my book. Al lthe others are crap. In regular TROs Yeoman, Matador, Champion, And one or two of the IICs, like the Orion, also the current Stone Rhino and Kraken ( i still prefer the unseen versions).

Also, I hate the Daimyo.

I did one, and it look nice.
Someday, I maybe will paint it. Hint - new set of legs from Komodo, and new PPC piece

Heh, it's ironic I own almost every mini mentioned in this thread thus far... :D

I take issue with the Bloodhound, personally. The mini is spot-on for the art, but when the art is blecht...

Even my Daughter thinks the Yeoman is extremely ugly.   I don't think calling it ugly is fair...to the word ugly.    Don't know what is worse that it was drawn or that it was approved.   It is just bad.

Ummmmm........Last time we had this question The Yeoman was compared to a person bending over.....So I got two of them off of ebay. They make me laugh.  The Eagle is a ugly one in my book.

Dude... Yeoman.  Seriously.  If I had a Yeoman miniature, I would bury it in the back yard because the thing is an embarrassment.  Runner up goes to all other TRO 3060 Inner Sphere Mechs that weren't from another sourcebook.

Odd looking, no doubt, but oh MAN is that a fun Mech to use. One of the games little-known gems as a scout/scout hunter.
