It's only 'pricey' if getting it via the 80USD / 120USD 'max level pack' option. (Though you get a ton of stuff for that).
Alternatively, it'll be available for MC on the 16th regardless, and for C-Bills in January.

The claws look HUGE.... Hope they aren't as bad damage magnets as the Mist Lynx....

King Crab sited.

Looks like it'll have 2B or a B+E each arm.
Definately 2 slots in each arm.

and in different colors

My God, they are beautiful!!!

That must be the first time the 3d model is better than the concept art!

Update on the Hellbringer,

Ran a bunch of matches with it in PUGlandia last-night, and kept myself to a second line fire support role, as I'm finding I'm better suited too, and she held up really well, averaging 8/9 assists, 250-400 damage, and armour never went past orange.

translation: don't be stupid with it, and it will do well for you.

I'm looking forward to finding out the hit boxes on them, should be interesting.

I think it would look good with the white swapped with black, the red swapped with a neon blue, and the green swapped with a white.

[Steinar Bergstol]

Looks like the Kurita version might be MWO's interpretation of the 1st Ghost Regiment paintjob.

As for the Marik one my first thought was: Constructicon!

[SgtMagor]

like the mech, but those claws are huge and make the torso look to small to even support them. that's why I never pay to much attention screen shots or concept art, the view always seems skewed.

eh, all the mass is directly at the elbow, the claws are just a ton or so of armor cover.

In case someone don't know how the King Crab variants will be, I bet on this:

KGC-000 (or KGC-0000, the stock variants are almost identical)
RA 2b
RT 1e
LT 1m
LA 2b

KGC-0000 (or KGC-000)
RA 1b
RT 2e
LT 2m
LA 1b

KGC-010 (if not replaced by a "PGI variant")
RA 1b
RT 1e,1m
LT 1e,1m
LA 1b

KGC-000b is Star League Royal and will probably not be included.

[Ovion]

I finally got around to updating my All-Mechs image.
Every mech, to scale (silhouettes are approximations of unreleased mechs based on existing artwork).
The Atlas (and therefore each box frame), is roughly 18M tall.

10 Lights (7IS, 3C)
14 Mediums (11IS, 3C)
12 Heavies (8IS, 4C)
12 Assaults (9IS, 3C)
48 Total Mechs (35IS, 13C)
Including 195 total Variants (156IS, 39C) _{(Not including Champions, Limited Edition - I.E Sarahs Jenner, GILE)}

Now remember guys the king crab is rumored to have opening and closing claws like missile bay doors. So that means the arms can become smaller if the rumor is true

[-Skyrider-]

Also time available variants for the king crab most likely will be...

KGC-000

RA 2b

RT 1e

LA 2b

LT 1m

KGC-001

RA 1b

RT 1e 1m

LA 1b

LT 2m

KGC-010

RA 1b

RT 1e 1m

LA 1b

LT 1e 1m
