There's alot of projects on the the table right now but I'd like to sujest that the hero version of the king crab be the be the KGC-010 if not for the quirks it has (for ppc's) but the visual description alone (spiky spines coming out the back). The mech model builders at pgi tend to do awesome remakes of the mechs visually I'd like to see what they do with a description like that. It also has the torso weapons divided up better so loosing one side torso won't strip you of all energy weapons or all missile weapons.

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/King_Crab KGC-010 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.
