The old roadmap has reached the end of the road, and Project Phoenix doesn't hit until October, so we have two months until then where the upcoming mech is a big old question mark. So let's do this again.

Here's a list of the mechs PGI has to choose from. All of these mechs are timeline-appropriate, not tied up with Harmony Gold IP, and don't use any technology that isn't planned to be added to MWO (like quads, LAMs, etc.) I've added a bunch of stuff I've unearthed since last month, plus some of the new ex-Unseen (even though we won't see those until 2014).

Why isn't your favorite mech listed?

• It's based on concept art now owned by Harmony Gold in North America. A number of mechs are based on designs that were later used in Macross, so any mech that looks like a VF, Destroid, or Zentraedi Battle Pod is out. No Wasp, Crusader, Warhammer, Marauder, and so on.
• It's a four-legged mech. PGI has said that they don't want to add these to MWO.
• It is introduced after 3052. In particular, Mechwarrior 3, Mechwarrior 4, and both Mechassault games are set well after the current period, and include many mechs that were invented as a response to the Clans, or to fight in later wars like the Fedcom Civil War or the Word of Blake Jihad. So no Owens, Templar, Fafnir, Bushwacker, etc.
• It's a Clan mech. PGI has enough on their plates right now without springing the Clans on us unexpected next month, a month before launch.
• I've skipped all of the TRO 3058 and 3075 mechs that are described as extinct in 3050, like the Lynx, Talon, Hammerhands, and Helepolis. There's a bunch of them, they're all goofy-looking, and nobody much likes most of them. It's possible that PGI could put them into MWO, but very unlikely.

Those limitations in mind, what mechs might we see?
