The assault queue is going to be scary when this thing drops.
Everyone's going to have crabs.

wut?

[MeiSooHaityu]

Very Awesome!

Even though I don't like running Assaults (hate sometimes comes to mind), the looks of that mech alone makes me forget all that and I just want to pilot it.

It looks amazing.

I want to see UAC/5 Crabs and Dires go at it. The Dakka of the Gods.

I was gonna photoshop ( or more accurately GIMP ) that on my Stalker, but I guess PGI beat me to it.

I like the german text on the Steiner Crab: "Krabben Klaue" (Crab claw) and "Schnapp schnapp" (= the noise claws can make when they close fast).

Really nice artwork, even if some of the color combos are a bit... eye cancer style

The reward Crab will have a different painting I guess? Norn?

I cannot discuss with my mouth wide open

... typing neither while drowling....

Well i see a grammer mistake on the Steiner claws. It looks like it actually says "Schnappe Schnappe" wich is wrong. "Schnapp Schnapp" translates to "snap snap", "schnappe schnappe" translates to "snapping snapping"

You won't need an XL engine to run UAC5x4. Strip the LRM15 and ammo off, equip endo, and you will have more than enough space for the UAC5s and some energy weapons to back it up. You should even be able to increase the STD300 to something faster.

My immediate build of choice would be 2xAC20, 11 tons of AC20 ammo, an ERLL, and a STD340 engine to propel it at 60.6kph with speed tweak. That will take a little armor stripping from the legs, but should give it more than enough to fight extended brawls and use the ERLL if I manage to run out of ammo.


Wow, thanks!

I was really wondering what they said!

I will probably be similar, but I feel 8 tons of ac20 to be enough. Moar lazors if the hardpoints exist, or maybe more motor, idk.

PGI needs to release the sounds of those warhorns, I want to know them, YESTERDAY.




the Hook and lawlessness could indicate some kind of pirate like theme. But not sure how this fits within LIAO

probably just sonic boom warhorns with a house emblems on them.

I want to put 4LBX10 on it.
I don't know that I'll be able to, as we don't know how they've made the AC20 fit in the arms, but I want to.

I do.

Technical Readout: 2750, first edition, FASA Publishing, 1989.

The "correct" King Crab stats. No lower arm or hand actuator. The "claws" are not manipulators, they are simply armored covers, that open and close, just like the flaps on a Catapult. Count on it. (Sorry, Strum Wealh)

I'm just going to sit here open mouthed, then try to apply SCIENCE to work out just how much force will be required to strike myself in the head with a blunt object (or strike a blunt object with my head) and place myself in a coma until the 16th.

Right now, I've collected a coma care package consisting of 8 beers, an asprin to thin my blood, a note to my wife (she'll understand), instructions to my kids not to draw wangs on my face with sharpies, a pillow, some soothing jazz music, and an aluminum baseball bat... though charging headfirst into a wall sounds more awesome. Might be difficult to control the impact.
