doesn't seem to be stopping the Thunderbolt or Battlemaster.

Secret is for those wide side torso to protect it's juicy CT, and for massive arms to protect them, so you have to work your way through to the middle. Hence my design for it. by the time You blow off 150 ish arm armor, side torso and internals, usually means I have had a chance to return the favor.

Laterally wide but slim on the vertical.

Bring on the Crab / King Crab!

Hail to the king! I'm gonna name mine Mr Crabs.

We need some interesting looking machines that stomp the humanoid ones into the ground.
We need the Crabs.
NOW.

With dual LB20-X

Its watching, laying in wait for the perfect moment to strike... WATCH OUT FOR THE KING CRAB!

[BlackIronTarkus]

Crab... This is all.

About time a King Crab thread got resurrected.
And also about time we get our King Crab :-)

Need more 100 ton assault mechs - and the Banshee Overall, unique design, and lack of variants shouldn't be an excuse to not add a mech.

Also, we should be able to pull out the hand and lower armor actuators for mechs since they serve no real purpose
in this game other then just taking up space.

I need mah king crab! Until then I run my CTF 4X and dream..

[Carnifex125]

This must happen!
PGI, I am (and it would seem many others are) willing to dish out the cash for this mech, required mech bays, its variants, and likely a cool beans paint job for the KGC
please...don't break my heart..... or my beard's heart..... lets get this mechanical besty in this game...

If.. and when teh announcement comes, It may be the first time i literally throw money at my screen

The king crab would be the worst knuckle dragger imaginable and would just be meta food for highlanders and victors.

I tend to agree. It's body design (very wide) would make it really easy to hit

(and to people that mention the small vertical space the torso takes up, that's not as important as the horizontal space, audit your own firing during a game and I'm sure you'll agree)

I don't really like the Banshee, as it's a clone of the Atlas in many aspects, but i do think that after the Mauler, it would be be good fit to the game, if only to have something other than the Atlas in the super tank role. (I still think the Banshee is boring however)

The King Crab seems like it would be under loaded for the 100 ton role. It just doesn't have many torso weapons and would be unpopular very quickly IMO (after people got past the shiny)

if its based on Alex's sketches.... dont think ill ever get over the shiny. If it performs badly in game, it will be my "for fun" mech. when i need to be competative, i'll just stick to BLR's and CTF's

I don't see why anyone is against the idea at all! Those who adore the Crabs, like myself, will get our favourite mechs to pilot with much dakka and pew-pew. Those who dislike the Crabs or think them "Meta food" get to shoot them with their boring meta builds and (attempt to) destroy these mechs they hate so irrationally. Either way, both sides win, right?
