Look it up on sarna, it has hands.

Personally I thinks it's nice attention to detail on their part.

Never realized that before. It still looks off though. Like why would a mech have small hands like that? It looks like it would barely be able to grab a infantry let alone a mech.

If ever they needed a re-design of a mech hand, this is it. I was annoyed that the T-bolt got 4 prong claws instead of human hands, but I adapted.

To me they should have just put on gripper claws instead of those goofy things.

Agreed. But with the Thunderbolt I like the grasping claws. When they eventually put in melee combat they scream don't **** with me. I could just imagine those claws ramming into an enemy's chest and ripping out a chunk of their reactor.

I guess the hands are mostly made for high fives.

The hands are there mostly just to move things. It's handy to be able to lift stuff, move things aside, and remove obstacles

The storm crow has always had those little hands and I always thought they were strange. After all why does a clan mech even have hands? Clans don't fight in melee and they don't engage in raids where hands could be useful to grab loot and they don't do manual labor. My guess is that they are for climbing, mostly only medium and light clan mechs have hands, who are more mobile and do more scouting (what limited scouting the clans do).

Hands on mechs are good for helping set up forward bases on the spot. Say your star of mechs just pushed 20 KM into enemy territory and you need to set up a new command post. No time to send the heavy machinery in to move ammo boxes, place makeshift barricades, etc. A mech with hands can, well... lend a hand.
