For those of us who like the King Crab, would you like to see a Hero Mech chassis for the King Crab. My idea is "Deep Six", the name of a King Crab Hero Mech with an aquatic blue paint featuring a large image of an old fashioned ship's anchor on the top of the Mech.

Right Torso. 2 Energy
Left Torso. 2 Energy
Right Arm. 2 Ballistic
Left Arm. 2 Ballistic

Or maybe 6 energy and 2 ballistics.

Also would like to see a 6 missile 2 energy 2 ballistic Crab called The Kracken.

A missile boat Crab. I could just see a Deep Six and a Kracken. Shiver.

Yes, we need a Hero crab... But, the Clans need their heros first. They've been waiting a long time, and they should at least get all of wave 1 heroed before we start with the newer IS mechs. The Wolverine should be the only IS hero on the chopping block until the Clans get theirs.

As for a loadout...

This version of the King Crab was created by the Star League to be a command 'Mech and introduced alongside the original 000 model in 2743. Conceived in secret between Cosara and the Terran Hegemony, it was an attempt to produce a deadly command 'Mech by mounting a pair of newly-developed Hellstar Magna PPCs in either side torso. These PPCs were different from other models in that they did not require an outer "barrel" but instead were mounted flush with the torso, each opening surrounded by a specially-designed Holly SRM-6 launcher, while the cooling sleeves extended out the back of the 'Mech. In place of the normal autocannons the 010 model carried LB-10X cannons. The combination of the non-standard housing and odd-colored discharge of the PPCs caused many pilots to believe they were facing a brand-new weapon systems, while the spine-like protrusions of the cooling sleeves produced massive heat-diffusion waves. All told the 010 model was more than capable of taking down an Atlas, but the entire line left with Kerensky during the Exodus and even knowledge of the design's existence became lost during the Succession Wars.[6][7] BV (2.0) = 2,181[27]

Just gimmie that variant Spiney crab sounds awesome.
