Daayyyuum that's some sexy ass mech!

I've a feeling that this is going to become a favourite of mine, unless it performs extremely badly.

Am i the only one who can't stand the off-centre CT laser?
It just irks me to no end!
Same problem with the Cicada, even if it has only a single hardpoint, it gets placed off-centre instead of being centered.

I agree... asymetry kinda bugs me.
So I'll have to put TWO lasers in the CT!!

It aint pretty but it has character thats for sure. As usual for Inner Sphere mechs there will only be one or two really great Crab pilots.

Also, and this goes for the Black Knight as well, dont complain about it until its been mastered and full modules. Thats just lazy.

There is a german comic called "das kleine Arsch_loch".

Stunning resemblance.

Have to say it looks incredibly cool... that snout though...

I admit, the screenshots look cool, but do I wanna sit in a battlemech with a torso as big as a bus? Seems like it can be hit from nearly all angles and twisting the torso wont help this.

As nice as these iconic mechs are, I dont think they come close to their clan counterparts (and I dont care for TT or lore, this is an ego shooter and as an IS loyalist I want IS mechs that are toe on toe with clans and not just sentimental bait).

Ever since TRO:2750 I hated the asymmetrical arms, was hoping they wouldn't continue it here.

Still went all in Resistance 2 despite that...

Maybe they were invoking the spirits of the Fiddler Crab and/or the Ghost Crab, both of which are known for their asymmetric claw arrangements?
