that is just 1 guy

There were people who waited until the Timberwolf (and to a lesser extent the Dire Wolf). The King Crab is legendary in TT so I'm sure it has a lot of fans.

I didnt used to like it, but after seeing Bishop's rendition I started to love it.

I hope Alex did something amazing with the design!

Hello there, I'm one of those people that waited for the clans. Closed Beta underwhelmed me and piloting IS mechs just didn't do anything for me so I bid my time until my brethren were unleashed.

OH GOD I'M SO EXCITED











Now give me the concept art Alex.

GIVE IT TO ME.

[Zanathan]

While I'm excited I fear the KC will just have the widest torso in the game ... great for hitting from any distance.

[CocoaJin]

Now we just need the med chassis Crab.

I suspect it will be wide and flat, mostly arms and legs when view from the front.
But the top view of the KC will be a plate for catching LRM.

When Im in the KC and on Forest Colony, Im gonna hole up in cave and defend it like my nest.

Not to mention Founders have been wanting it since the Book of Genesis.

Hope he was a L-Founder.. or he is waiting until Dec/Jan.

I don't always pilot assault mechs....
But when I do, I prefer the King Crab.
Stay thirsty Mechwarriors...

But it will be SQUAT. It will be FLAT. Like shooting a pancake. A 100 tonne pancake. An armoured, loaded wif enuf dakka pancake, that CAN SHOOT YOUR GODDAMN FACE OFF. A DOOMCAKE. I WANT MY DOOMCAKE.

I can tell you that Alex has been begging to add this mech since he started concepting for us.

I have never had an attachment to the mech but I can't help but get caught up in the excitement either.

Alex is a great artist. His concepts are amazing.

Please keep this up, Mr Bullock.

Any word on how you guys are working the split-critical issue?

That's because Alex understands the potential! The Majesty! The grace (lol). And GHOST HEAT BE DAMNED RUSS, I do believe that mech will have enough internal structure to fire both 20's at once. I can't wait to test. For SCIENCE!

I feel like a kid again.

Needs more Metal


I wonder is the body is low enough to be fully submerge in the waters of forest colony and crimson strait.

They should provide that ability as a consumable.

"HULL DOWN.

You flatten your mech completely. Once prone, you are no longer detectable by sensors, and appear to be no more than a sandy hillock to the casual observer. Upon deactivation of the module, your leg actuators spring into action, catapulting you into the air. Your next attack has a 100% crit chance if you choose to pair this module with our "SURPRISE, C*** FACE" preemptive kill warhorn."
