I think we all dreamed this one up already....its my Zeus minus a laser, some armor but has JJ's.

Whats not to like? But i am sad we are not getting the same treatment the other mechs in the pack did...I want FLUFF, no, I DEMAND FLUFF! I didn't even buy Black Bunnys (Blk Knight) or Fallers (Maulers) come on Pee Gee Eye gimme something to get excited about!

One can dream:


Shrimp The Metamech

Mass: 35 tons
Tech Base: IS
Production Year: 3083
Cost: 6 580 260 C-bills

Chassis: Endo-Composite
Engine: 245 XL
Maximum speed: 119 km/h
Jump: 210 meters
Armor: Stealth 112 points
Heat Sinks: 12 DHS
Armament:
3 Small VSPLs
1 Guardian ECM


Little buggers like that are fun in the board game... And if the map/board is large enough, basically broken if they're given long range weapons.

Countdown to forum rage!

No Crab sighting as of yet...

Maybe they are difficult to coax from their shells?

[MrEdweird]

Personally, I'm happy we're getting a low profile medium mech that's just a good all-round mech.
Reminds me a lot of a Bushwacker, just energy-based. Also dem claws and dem legs. Can't wait to see the walking animation and cockpit, I love compound legs and the cockpit is going to be 100% original since Crab isn't shown to actually have a cockpit.

Also, the Marauder thing got updated so maybe we'll get what we want SOON™

They said it's either gonna be today or tomorrow on the last Town Hall so if not today...then tomorrow.

it's impossible, tomorrow is always tomorrow

Someone at PGI needs to give us Crabs today, or I'm going to be upset. What does it take to get Crabs around here, where is that community manager and why is she not making sure we are getting Crabs! Let's all email the devs, I'll bet they have Crabs all over the place that they don't know what to do with.

Scale video.

[Juodas Varnas]

Huh. It's ACTUALLY decently scaled.

Now we have 50% of the 50tonners decently scaled (hunchback, enforcer and now the crab) and the rest (Centurion, Trebuchet and Nova) who are absolutely ridiculously oversized in comparison.

[EX S]

The crab feels just the right size for a medium.

However, given the oblong shape and the fact that a large portion of torso juts out from behind, I still hope it gets some generous durability quirks. I wouldn't have the crab look any other way, but at the same time I wouldn't want it to be punished too hard for being so good looking.

[Yellonet]

Yup, scaling looks very good. Dat profile dough....

Promising start, looks to be scaled right at least.
