Looks Tiny. Engine cap increase will make it a very viable scout.

Since when does the game need scouts? That's so...closed beta. We have 3rd person to look around corners and above hills, we have seismic to check out caves and tunnels and to not stumble into ambushes. ^^

Whoever made the model for this mech should be put on re-scaling the mediums.

Great work here.

Well at the least Locust might be okay unlike the abominably sized ShadowHawk, this makes me wonder if getting the Sabre pack would be completely pointless as they'd likely be huge too without a big forum campaign.

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala cant hear you.

170kph is still nice. Good to have atleast 1 mech that can outrun Jenners and Spiders.

Does anybody else feel as if it's still too big? I mean, the spider is 50% heavier than the locust, but has done a remarkable job of hiding the added weight away.

I just think if they made it any smaller, the cockpit would be out of proportion. It looks to be the smallest you could get it and still fit a person inside.

Same size as a mech 10 tons heavier than it, with thicker legs, and (likely) Jenner-style CT.
Also, more likely to have fully-functional hitboxes than the Spider.

I predict it will be even less useful than it seems. It would make a good scout, if scouting weren't all but meaningless in MWO.

This is going to be tragic, and of course, I'll be mastering them. Just like I did the Spider (and that was back when the 3L was still the undisputed king of everything).

The Cicada lore wise was based off the Locust (many many levels of makes sense)
