Figured I would post my reasoning for my picks while waiting for a CW match.Kit Fox: Easily the biggest lights which is sad for a mech that can't even attempt to abuse speed. The worst part is that it is larger than its brethren the Adder which share the same legs, though it doesn't have the CT issues the Adder suffers from. Honorable mentions are the Raven and Adder.Nova: While the Trenchbucket and Centurion are definitely honorable mentions, the Nova is larger than the Ebon Jaguar whereas the Trenchbucket and Cent are at least lithe compared to their heavy counterparts. Other honorable mentions are the Shitaro, Shadow Hawk, Griffin, and Vindicator.Catapult: Even without the boombox ears it suffers from being large even with a glass jaw. The Stalker is the standard for glass jaw mechs like this. Boomboxes with VCR attachments for ears don't help either. Honorable mentions being all three 60 tonners, the Asshopper, and the Onion.Awesome and Victor: Larger than a majority of assaults yet the smallest in tonnage, they have larger torsos than even the notoriously broad chested Battlemaster. The only real difference between the Victor and Awesome is the Victor has better mounts and benefits from a triangular torso whereas the Awesome is just a rectangle. Honorable mentions are Mr Gargles, the Battlemaster, Stalker (for being too small), Dire Wolf (for being too small).

I think this is a very useful idea. It does look like you've scaled each weight class differently. The Adder is the same size as the Dire Wolf which I know is not really the case. Perhaps if you're going to keep different scaling across the weight classes include duplicates of the Mechs from both neighboring weight classes. Like include the 40 tonners on the end of the lights, the 35 tonners and the 60 tonners on both ends of the mediums, that sort of thing.



They aren't scaled, they are just rendered at different distances. The point wasn't to compare the Adder to the Dire Wolf, it was to compare the Adder to the Firestarter, etc.
