how's it going to walk with no ankles

[InKerenskyWeTrust]

I like it, might be a little tall, but over all I'm in love with it.

think how the arms are kicked out on the upper "middle" one will be mandatory. The large image will clip it's hips.

same way the stalker does?

Going to have to look different for the 3d model or not have torso wist or not very much torso twist.

In the Dev Vlog thing Alex showed it next to an Atlas. It's considerably shorter.

Looks to me it goes to the bottom of the Atlas' chest XXX's

[MisterPlanetarian]

Widen it a little imo. It looks smaller than a Cataphract.

Yes that is what I mean, already watched the devlog. Can't wait to see more of it though.

At 9:20 in the Vlog. It is about as tall as the Atlas Ballistic hardpoint on the RT. Which puts it about the height of a Cicada.

The problem is the width which even in Battletech artwork King Crab tends to be a very wide mech. Which generally means larger hit boxes on the torsos in MWO. Or in game terms, you are wider than an Awesome and about as wide as two Stalkers side by side.

Hopefully, King Crab will also signal a review of Mech scales.

hahaha I see it getting stuck in some city situations worse than my timberwolf does now!

Pretty much all of the concept art mechs got fatter in game.

[Hawk819]

I love it. Sad to say that I won't be getting one through the programs mentioned in the anniversary celebration. I was informed that it and the Atlas won't be in my `MechBay upon release.Even though I bought all the packages prior to the 1 year Anniversary. At least, I'll get the Mad Dog. I hope! Oh, well, there's always MC and C-bills.

Founders Packs were not considered Pre-Sale?

I think there was a short time after their release that they were still for sale. I might be remembering wrong though as I'm getting old.

You are a legendary founder so you should be all set for the Atlas and the King Crab.

Btw don't take the comparison to the Atlas as being how it will be sized in game. Not sure why Alex did that but the scaling will come from the modelers and they will do side by side comparisons of the art before they begin to model.

afaik, no. they are not consider such, and I bought all of them. Founder's Pack; Phoenix Pack + Re-Enforcement Pack; and the Clan Package.

So much for me being a supporter. I'll buy the MC, etc. But as far as they are concerned, I will not be receiving anything but the Mad Dog, if it at that.

That's not what I was told by a friend of mine. I guess he didn't qualify. And I shouldn't let him sway me in a manner that may be detrimental to my character. So I'm going to take a wait and see approach and go from there, Russ.
