Black Marauder
I'm co-running a Halloween- themed Battletech event at my FLGS called "Hocus Locust", when everyone pilots a Locust. When you die, you respawn as the Black Marauder and stalk the field. Should be fun!

Regardless of capabilities, variant, or loadout, since I was a kid the Marauder was always (IMO) the coolest looking mech of them all.
I've always been partial to the Timber Wolf. Or any of them that aren't really humanoid. The Dire Wolf is cooler than the Atlas.
Fully agreed all around! For me, the aesthetics of the Atlas just don't convey badassery regardless of the reality.
There's an entire genre of mechs that are just humanoids, like the Phoenix Hawk got a lot of attention in the early books. I just don't care for them. The Summoner is at least a little weird with its asymmetrical arms, offset stump cockpit and missile launchers.
You can thank Kawamori Shouji for that.
