Bump for justice.

The King Crab must make an official appearance.

Awesome. Kurfing love it.

This is really cool. I could see something like this in-game.

I would change some things on it though (not to say the draw is not good, just my opinions):

*Unless the King Crab is going to have a shoulder pod for the Missile launcher, I would suggest suggest putting it lower on the RT. I can't tell if that is a weapon in the center of the RT, but if it is not; Put LRM tubes facing somewhat upwards, and SRM tubes (if equipped) under the upper-shell, facing forward through a small gap in the armor.

*I have this this thing for Spaced Armor, and the upper body is kind of bloated on your sketch. To kill two birds with one stone; I would (If I could draw) leave the thick Armor-plates and most of the Outer-shell where it is, shrink the inner structure slightly, and drag most/all weapons back behind the outer armor with gaps for them to fire through.

So in the end it would look like a Cicada with Cataphract-like arms, with giant slabs of metal attacked to the outside.

Unlikely/Impossible feature:
Though likely not possible, and how you drew it is fine, I think the cockpit should be changed to a sort of slit between the upper and lower armor plates. The cockpit window would have very little visibility. However when the mech is active, screens/holograms placed in the front and to the sides of the first would give the pilot a prospective as if rectangular holes were cut through the mech in three direction.
To avoid the Cry3 'multi-camera' issue, the screens would literally just cut out the cockpit from the pilots screen.
Basically a walking bunker with the most advanced cockpit that IS technology has to offer.

I dig that. Very much.

Not bad but we've seen now with the Victor that the Crab can have some side to side arm movement even without the actuator so the KC's arms could have the smaller range of movement

this mech looks like its gonna be huge, Atlas will look like a Victor standing next to it

[Sancho Kabrinski]

I want it!

[MustrumRidcully]

Are we there yet?

nope, should be shorter than a Stalker, approximately 13m to the top pf the launcher. The Atlas is a tad over 17, I believe. This mech is both wider and deeper, Hence no where near as tall.

Bishop, a small question:
Is that your own artwork or is it something official/from PGI?

sadly, just my stuff. Can't seem to get a look from the companies, but gonna keep churning it out in the hopes that someday one of these guys give me a shot. I figure I can't be worse than most of the artists they have hired.

That really look freaking awesome! I would get rid of the hunch though... as someone else said, lower the launcher down into the torso. That being said I would be sad not to play this awesome mech, simply because I hate slow mechs, 80KPH is a minimum for me.

aww man, now you got me on the Crab train. count my vote for King Crab yup yup!

Liking the chunky-ness Bishop, but I do have to say, I think that thing is a little too Marlon Brando. I would slim down that torso. Arms, legs and cockpit look ace though!

the the above post with the armless version. Torso is trim, just has two extra armor plates to protect the middle and the rotation ring.
