Sleek, mobile and versatile, the Stormcrow is believed to be one of the earliest OmniMechs ever designed. Incorporating the best weight-saving technologies, it is able to mount a large amount of weapons for the size of its frame while retaining strong armor and a decent 97kph top-speed. 
  • [background=transparent; font-size: 13px;]A wide-spread, second generation OmniMech fielded by nearly every Clan[/font]
  • [background=transparent; font-size: 13px;]Fast and has near maximum armor for its weight class[/font]
  • [background=transparent; font-size: 13px;]Due to its mobility, armor and firepower, the Stormcrow is a feared opponent on the battlefield. [/font]
Weapons and Equipment 
This Stormcrow variant is based off a lightweight endo-steel chassis with a 330 XL Engine. This makes this ‘Mech slightly faster than other medium weight class ‘Mechs and it also utilizes 9.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor for survivability. The use of 22 double heat sinks allows the Stormcrow to adequately handle the heat generation of its 2 ER Large Lasers and 3 ER Medium Lasers.

Hats off, it is adorable :P ! Kudos to Alex and art team.
But those horizontally set fists on the Pre-Order Prime variant look defiant - very dominantly and too ambiguously :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Do you really think Stormcrow will pwn so hard that decided to declare it in the exterior detail :D ?

Ungainly, hunched, and awkward. Perfect! Especially love the glass heavy cockpits thus far!

I'd give the Stormcrow a Hi^5 for looking good but I'm afraid I'd break it's spindly little arms. So it goes to Alex and the modeling team for making a funky looking mech look ten times better than they ever did on paper.

It has a camera on the front of it, for pilot selfies?

Looks like those articulated hands could give someone the finger; that would be a nice geste...

Looks awesome, I can't wait to get one. The tiny hands are a little unsettling. "Take my strong hand!"

The 'Crow looks really nice. The arms are too wide, though. Is there any way they can be tightened up a bit, or made smaller? This is yet another Clan mech that is going to possibly suffer from Trebuchet-itis.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, try running a Treb for a while. You'll get tired of your arms being shot off so fast, costing you half your firepower.

Wow...

In my opinion this is one of the best looking battlemechs in the game thus far along with Victor. A clear difference to the humanoid/Inner-Sphere battlemechs; and it literally feels like an oddbird, as Stormcrow is supposed to be..
- Awkward, unpredictable, unnaturally menacing. The art team nailed it!

More like this and I'll be a Happy Camper.

It looks good; the Stormcrow is not one of my favorites so I will not be buying this one, but I'm glad fans of it have something to look forward to.

Auggh. Those hands....would pay MC to just to remove them.

At the very least Rotate them 90 degree's so they are not facing palm down and instead palm inwards.

Good news: put a PPC or AC5-20 on there and they go away (per the Clan tech post from Paul).

Death Turkey... love it!

The Adder was awesome. This Stormcrow is so perfectly, amazingly, wonderful, that no amount of words that I can throw out match its majesty. Seriously, well done. Now, why can't you get the Timber Wolf's legs right again?!?!?!
