I want a Crab, not a King Crab just a Crab. I prefer 50 tonners and I feel like it would be fun for me. So I noticed that my 4SP when I take the missle pods off it, they disappear. So I crabbed it: In an MWO Viable way.

You can make most Crab builds with the Hunchback-4SP, except for the ones with jumpjets. I want crabs, crabs with jumpjets. I also feel like their models would take an XL engine well so I feel like a lot of builds that would terrible to do on a hunch would be better with an actual crab.

tl;dr Try my Crabs.

We could still see the Crab in the future since it isn't lacking for variants. PGI claim that they won't add the King Crab due to the shared slots for the AC/20 in the arms and torso's but considering the changes made to Battletech I wouldn't be surprised to see a "Pride of the Star League" pack or something like that. I do agree though, we need the Crab in MWO :)

I was wrong, a Hunchback 4sp without any side torso missle pods has almost no side torso, and can totally mount an XL275. I prompty put in 2 PPCs and a metric ton of heatsinks and went on many adventures.

Edit: Also, they could totally put the Kingcrab with AC20s in the same way they put it in the Yen-Lo. By removing an axis of swivel, but because it is a crab it would be cool if they took away VERTICLE movement. If they make the think squat and wide (like a wide thinner stalker size kinda deal), and then take away arm verticle movement that makes it VERY vulnerable to attacks from high ground. I think that'd be pretty cool.
