I noticed in the concept art the shadowcat had a hand actuator.....where is it?

Yes please, Shadow Cat looks ridiculous with giant laser boxes carrying a pair of tiny lasers. Either let us mount hand actuator when no AC/PPC weapon is mounted like in many other mechs or move the laser/missile placement to the center of the arm box when no AC/PPC is mounted.

Oddly enough, some clan omni'Mechs can't seem to mount arm/hand actuators, even if they aren't weilding a ballistic weapon or PPC.

I really have no idea why.

you mounted A pods, the Hand is only mountable in Prime pods. as far as i know no other variant mounts the hand actuator in lore.

i would like to see this also, there's a lot of wasted space there on the stumps that could be used better.

yeah why does the A left arm not have the hand and arm actuators?

I noticed that after i looked at the omni pods the A doesn't have the options. I understand the right arm but not the left arm of the A which carries a large laser by default... last i recall large lasers still allowed hand acuators
