So what is your favourite Mech and why.....its battlefield performance, its cool looks, its sentimental value, some other reason?
I have a love for the Mad Cat, Vulture, Thor and Loki....its ingrained in my mind that they just look cool and I have a fondness of them that goes back a long way. I have to say though, after seeing the Mad Cat Mk II, I fell in love with its very cool looking design...I've seen the Mad Cat III and IV...but they don't do anything for me at all. So the Mad Cat Mk II for me because it just looks awesome, in my opinion  EDIT: Just found a cool pic of one firing one of it's Gauss Rifles....what a simple but very cool mod to the mini..

For me its the 3025 "original" Rifleman - My first mech - it looks good, can hit hard if you are not afraid of the heat, and flipping arms to shoot out of rear arc has saved my paper thin butt many times.

I've gotta admit, I have this weird facination with the Kit Fox, I play a lot on Mega Mek (campaign servers), and I seem to do well with it. The Other is the Archangel...it proves the point, I bet you cant kill me before my lance mates can kill you mwa ha ha ha!

Don't make me choose!
Gun to my head, the Battlemaster wins but I'm a big fan of the Timber Wolf, Mad Dog, Arcas and Karhu* too. *It looks a little rubbish but it has some awesome configs. -------------------- Infinity tutorial videos - Check them out if you're curious about this great game!

Definitely Vulture for me, I prefer the less humanoid mechs and I'm more about the aesthetic than performance. A classic configuration timber wolf looks pretty cool In video games performance-wise I'm a fan of jump jets so I like light scout chassis like the firefly. -------------------- |[TENABRAE]|40k|[Hive Fleet Dryad]|[Feral Angels]|infinity|[Yu Jing]|alkemy|[Aurlock Nation]|

Ahh the memories...
Haven't played in quite a while, so most of my favorites are 3025 models. Gonna stick to 2750/3025 here: Best light, and sentimental favourite: the Locust. Looked cool, was fast, never had heat problems and was one of the very few lights that could take a PPC hit or two and still keep going. It only needed to be modified to get rid of the useless machine guns and swap them for more lasers. Best Medium: Hmmm, none really stand out, but for effectiveness I think the trebuchet wins. Not very durable, but lots of firepower for its weight. Best Heavy: I'm split between two, and given choice, would load up my forces with lots of both: The Archer and Grasshopper. Archer is a classic design. It may not have the big knockout weapons, but it will grind you away from range and has the armour to soak up lots of return fire. If it gets into short range then I try to switch to physical attacks. Only weakness was limited ammo for the LRMs - best variant was to swap its rear lasers for more ammo. Grasshopper - Efficient design and deadly. Jump jets, lots of torso mounted lasers (they tend to last longer than arm weapons) and decent armour. Looks kinda funky too. Best Assualt: King Crab! who can say no to twin AC/20s? Plus it looks cool. For Clan Mechs - second the Vulture. Also loved the light that had like 7 ER medium lasers and massive speed- the Fenris or something? Very effective at blowing the rear armour out of any other mech. Pity it looked a bit crap.
