The Jenner looks too smilar to the Jenner IIC.
After the new TROs have only Mechs, I guiess we will never see Plastic Vehicles...
Someone asked about a CityMech Box (included in another Kickstarter) in the future, but there are no plans for such a Box at this Time, only a Book that feature Vehicles (which is not a TRO) will come.

There are some Mechs, not all Factions have. Examples:
Raven: Only Used by Capella /Liao, maybe by St.Ives Compact (Succession War Era / Clan Invasion Era))
Catapult: Not in use by the Lyrans / Steiner
Old Star League Mechs: are mostly only used by ComStar until the End of the Clan Invasion Era. Some are used by the Clans in 3rd Line Reserve Units.
The availability of which Units a Faction used can be seen in the Master Unit List:

Not a satisfactory answer, but best I can come up with. They might simply not cared.
*A Games Workshop term for when one gets to production mold stage before the sculpt fails. It is the worst form of failure as full design costs are sunk. I know this happened with the dwarf General and Battle standard set in about 2006 which is why this faction never had generic lord/hero plastic character minis despite an extensive overhaul.
The Ork Warrior for 40k in 2008 had also issues in Production.

What would be the difference between this and Alpha Strike? Don't they both essentially do the same thing?
Good question - I don't see the logic behind reprinting the Battleforce Rules. Alpha Strike is the Successor of Battleforce...

Official Statement by Adrian Gideon (Ray):
There is a Wolf’s Dragoons themed ForcePack (not box). The Annihilator is in it. It’s not (at all!) indicative of themed or faction ForcePacks. Nor is it connected to any forthcoming Kickstarter. Can’t say anything else at this time.

With the Wolfs Dragoon Lance Pack, I wonder if we will see similary Packs in the future.
What could we expect?

Notable isn't about rank, its not about skill level, its about doing something memorable and yeah sometimes that can be the whole dang lance. There's at least one lance that has at least three members called out so far.
That's the neat thing about BattleTech, your pilots are as notable or non notable as you decide. If you want to play a lance of periphery militia knock yourself out, if you want to play the command lance of Winson's Werewolves, a highly successful merc batallion, go for it. Either way you're not wrong.
Remember those classic notable Characters from 40k - they started as random generated dudes for White Dwarf Batreps..
