same here. SCALE VIDEO pls....

[Matt Newman]

Scale Video is up!

[Mechteric]

Finally a medium mech that is scaled properly again!

[Glaive-]

Crab looks perfect.

PGI pls rescale that Trebuchet though

[Juodas Varnas]

Well, so now we have 3 well-scaled 50 tonners - Hunchback, Enforcer and Crab and 3 that are absolutely off-the wall bonkers scaled - Trebuchet, Centurion and Nova?
Shame that only 1 of them is getting resized...

All three are getting resized. One is just getting it first.

If you say so.

[Ironclaw Buzzardier]

Shorter than a Cicada, with better front profile, worse side profile, this thing is going to be great

[Zookeeper Dan]

Love the small size! The size and long profile reminds me of a two seater convertible sports car, like a MG!

Can we get a screen shot of it with a King Crab?

I'm curious to see if a Crab could fit underneath a King Crab!

THIS PLEASE!

[MrEdweird]

Hah, I was right, it's the size of a Cicada.
I retract my previous statements about the design.
At this scale, all the elements, including the cockpit, make complete sense to me now.

10/10 PGI. Now I really can't wait to carry a bunch of lasers around in this with a 350XL lol
Also, CDA-3F looks sexy with dat cockpit glass.

[SgtMagor]

wow, that's a tiny mech

[Myke Pantera]

Holy crab, that thing is tiny... Which is kinda good, but also kinda not fair...

[Speedy Plysitkos]

Smaller then cicada ?

PRE-ORDERED. (skipping mara+waha forever)

[bad arcade kitty]

50 tonner which is much smaller than cicada?!
rescaling of other medium mechs when

[Navid A1]

Make a comparison with the NOVA guys...

Not that i want to see the crab's size.... I just wanna see how sad is the nova.

[Wayward Herald]

so tiny no Atlas will ever see you as you shoot it in its bum. plus the SL version has jump jets, 2 energy in the CT 1 in the head good little sniper. im going to say yes to a fun level of 10 maybe even all the way up to 11.

I would be happy to, if you can direct me to a King Crab location one of the testing grounds. Flew around River City and Forest Colony and couldn't find one. Let me know!

[Speedy Plysitkos]

um.... Its not PSL, its PSR... nm.

Eeeeh... it isn't "Smaller", it's just shorter...


Crab is much more longer then the cicada as well as having squat-ier' legs. It also has real arms and not just plates on the side. The cicada is still much smaller then the crab, it's just the cicada is taller which it needs to be to get the leg clearance to run so fast. To some degree this mech is nearly as 'big' as some 50 to 55 tonners out there. It's just a low profile mech like the kingcrab (what a surprise?), Super Nova, Nova, Couldron born, Bushwhacker, etc ... well Nova if it didn't have a pelvis.
