YES for the King Crab.

If this one makes it in, it will be the only Mech I'll ride on a regular basis.
Doesn't need to be good or anything, just beautiful and stylish.
My beloved KGC.

I'd drop any amount of MC on this. All variants. At least one of each.

Imagine if it was low and flat enough to hide in deep water...

You could emerge from the depths like an avenging sea monster and scare the **** out of a lone scout before the autocannon shells take their head off and you sink back down to lurk again.

Otto, I wish I could slap 2 "likes" on this. Also, think about a lance or two of these lurking in the cave under waterfall in Forrest Colony.... You know, just chillin'. Not moving to set of Seismic.... Just... waiting.... in the dark.... with beady little crab eyes... in the dark.... watching you....

If this is what Alex can come up with as a rough sketch, imagine what he could do if he unleashed the full fury of his creative awesomeness on it.

Honestly, I would have NO issue dropping money on more mechs that just LOOK different. I really don't care if it matches up with something in Tabletop or even if it is silly armament wise. I like variety, lots of variety. The more variety, the more options to spend money.

PGI, if most of the mechs looks the same, people will more often than not just buy the mech that works the best. Put something in-game that is interesting looking and even if it isn't the best performing mech out there, people will still buy it out of curiosity and variety.

[Johnny Carvin]

I'd buy one. Just think of the paint scheme possibilities you could have with it.

[ho1mes]

I want this.. badly. Only have the atlas as my one flavor of assault mech. I'd like to add more, but nothing else has really interested me. The King Crab on the other hand, is a no-brainer. Want now.

[Herodes]

One can dream, right?

[JimboFBX]

add the crab at least. It's a 3050 mech and was my favorite from MW2: Mercs

"And while you are loading weapons on your mech, you can add an ink-cannon to help you escape your enemies!"



Ink cannon
-When fired this shot will blind an enemies view for 1 minute. King crab will automaticly taunt with "whoop whoop whoop whoop" and run away on auto pilot in a random direction for 30 seconds. 5 shots per ton

Bump again for greater hope and justice.

Saw the Banshee thread and thought, hmm, that'd be cool.

Saw the king crab thread and changed ma pants. And tried to be discreet so my gf wouldn't notice.

I truly believe that this mech should be in game. I understand the basic issues of OP AC40 OMGWTFBBQ.

With this concept...


It wouldn't be such an overpowered thing. O.o; Bring on the King Crab!

We are not going to talk about the Devastator, Annihilator, Mauler, Thunderhawk, or any canon-time appropriate ballistic assaults.

1: PGI has already hinted at laxing off the timeline.

Actually they said it's just "FLUFF" now, and will not be a dictating force for MWO development..

So in reality it's not lax, it's "GONE"..

Also: Devastator, Annihilator, Mauler, Thunderhawk and any canon-time appropriate ballistic assaults.

about the only way that 12 man would survive.

12 mechs moving like frozen molasses, with the most massive set of hit boxes in the game, in the open would just look like a all you can eat seafood buffet to me. (O.... so u brought Gauss on your KGC to help at range.... let me sneeze on your arms and oops... it just blew up)

I see the LRMs come a raining.....

not the dictating force and gone are not really the same thing. Usually that would mean that while the Timeline is still relevant, it simply won't exclude other things IF those things are needed to make the game better. Out of timeline Mechs, in and of themselves likely are not going to start just popping up, simply because they are going to be less timeline rigid. Since those mechs in and of themselves do nothing to "fix (or even tbh, improve) the core game itself.

I would trade my founder's Atlas for a hero King Crab.

Anything for the King Crab!

Could I see some screenshots of the King Crab you've pulled from gamefiles into the SDK to determine that?
