I've always kinda been interested in Cicadas, but I wonder if anyone's had success using builds with standard engines. I have a good number of standards kicking around, but no XLs in the 300+ rating.
I know most will be slow by light mech standards and maybe not as heavily armed as most Cicada's on the field. But I imagine a zombie Cicada would be a surprise to most. I usually blast off their STs when I run into them.

Dunno.
Maybe the A or C would STDengine.
Wubcada and M 's weapons are likely too heavy.
Dont know if you want to trade quickness-/torso twist rate or ridgehump-ability in order to zombie.
You can peekaboo with the Wubcada and C like a boss but you want as little facetime as possible.
You will want several XL300's they work with MANY mechs, Cicadas, jenners,Catapults, Wubverine, so on...
TL;DR keep the speed/quickness, Cicada has hitboxes that maximize them.
