Depends on which kind.

[C A R N A G E]

The king Crab would make an excellent addition to the 100 ton class and the Mauler would be nice too.
I had to edit tonnage on Mauler,i thought it was 95.

The Mauler is 90 tons, and it doesn't have enough (that is, minimum of 3) available variants circa 3051.

In fact, it would appear that the King Crab is the only other viable 100 tonner, currently.

Hmm interesting notion, but I fear they'll go lower tonnage and pick Banshee because of it's meh hardpoints. (Well, comparatively to what has been guessed, quad ballistic assaults.. uhhuh, maybe not yet)

Luckily KGC variants aren't really that OP, two of them are similar as laid out.
Sure it is rocking twin AC's but they probably won't give it (m)any more hardpoints beyond what it has mounted for fear of community outcry (ac40 jag/cats are enough cause of tears) and that certainly isn't too much.

And just to remind those crying about split criticals... no such item (TR source is from the time FA$A products were fairly consistent... unless you count the original boxed sets premise of fighting over water lol) http://mwomercs.com/...split-crticals/

King Crab, the gentlemans ride.
I know I will be Crabbing around.

Add your voices here in the Feature Suggestions thread as well. Long Live the Crab!

PGI knows that a dual-Gauss capable assault mech would break their heat scale system in half, though, so it probably won't happen.

ENTER THE MAULER...

The KGC does not need to be the best Mech to be loved and bought.
It is sufficient that it is by far the coolest and prettiest.

I agree; looking at Alex's sketch, it would be the best looking mech in game for awhile (in my opinion), even compared to the clan mechs.

If the King Crab went on SALE! today the whole PGI network would probably crash because of all the buying transactions

Please give us our Crabs!!!

MEH. Not like the hand actuators were ever useful anyhow. Simple enough to just move all the AC20 crits into the arms, turns the "claws" into protective covers like the flaps on a Catapult, and be done with it. Letting it have dual ac20 AND the lateral movement of lower arm actuators WOULD probably be crazy OP anyhow.

I'm not criticising, but this gave me a Lol Moment. The claws work like the Catapult LRM Covers? Imagine if you forgot to open them.....

Admittedly, I would not envision PGI actually having your Arms EXPLODE due to forgetting to open the barrels, but there is that half second delay on Missiles for the doors to open automatically. Imagine all the cursing that would occur on the forums about buggy weapon mechanics and how the AC 20s don't fire at the right time. Until someone points out they have to open the claws first....

I think that the more variety, the better. So I voted yes. Although I do agree that there would be some issues in the basic two variants of the Mech. But since in BU, they came and went until Clan tech made them more feasible, I am sure we will see them again.

And the Mackie? Really? Outdated since when? But it would present another choice, so yes for it also. Only problem would be coming up with variants, since it did not have any that I know of . . . Will have to check into that!

Of course, just starting, I am just beginning my collection, and the more Mechs, the longer it will take . . . Oh well, guess that just means more fun over time.

[King Arthur IV]

not to be a debby downer but... what a stupid question......

duh we want the crab!

[Carnifex125]

methinks the momentum of the KCG revival/awareness be dropping 0_o time to post

or even better, let us make ur own KGC threads : D

[Carnifex125]

bad news guys, looks like its not the KCG

https://mobile.twitt...me=russ_bullock

I guess I wont be buying new mechs for awhile :/ at least I'll have a lot of C-bills saved up

[Dawnstealer]

I'm working on a 3D model and animating it as kind of a proof-of-concept. It's over in the "Fan Art" section, where it will die a slow death, no doubt.

Have you contacted Haruko, and proposed a collaboration?

Also, your KGC looks good, but it needs more claw...
