And now, a haiku for Alexander Garden's picture:

Last opponent dead,
the Crab can no longer PEENCH!
The Crab is now sad.

[Ironclaw Buzzardier]

Sad crab is amazing... and sad...

and I'm pretty sure that's a shrimpesque face with whiskers, not octopus/cthulu.

[Greenjulius]

I think the crab is the only mech in R2 that I'm actually interested in. The closest thing to it in the game currently is the Enforcer 4R, but without the very limiting 260 engine cap.

Hopefully it's fairly small so it can completely replace the Griffin Sparky. Because I didn't want my paid for hero to be good anyway...

[Speedy Plysitkos]

well im skipping MARA + WAHA packs totaly. But this alien thing...... i wanna have it (and i dont play medium at all....)

That is not useless as you guess.
But in Black knight I agree with you, it need real energy quirks!

actually, what all the mechs need is no range weapon quirks. like, at all. you should use a mech for two reasons, you like the look, and the hardpoint layout. hell, honestly, the only weapon quirks any mechs should have are ones like the Crab here should, better heat dissipation because it's specifically meant to BE an energy boat, the Awesome too. if you want longer ranged weapons on a mech, you PUT longer ranged weapons on a mech.

and FYI to the people who'll say "but Clanners'll beat us more without quirks"...yeah... we have about three months fighting wave 1 with no quirks. we did fine. from what i remember, Quirks really only got added to incentivize use of certain underused chassis (the Wolverine and Thunderbolt, for example, two solid mechs people were too afraid to actually get inventive with builds on).

I'm an IS MechWarrior, I'm staying an IS Mechwarrior, i'm damn proud to be an IS Mechwarrior, and i'll be lazing my name into the remains of Clan mechs with this thing when meta-quirked mechs and giant coward-filled ECM bubbles've gone the way of the dodo.

[dragnier1]

Nice crab. Am planning to get either that or the wolfhound for cbills.

[Feanor Valari]

Will be too easy to core this thing I think. Will still master it but its not looking promising.

[KuroNyra]

The Crab shall reign suprem!
EXTERMINATE ALL OTHERS BATTLEMECHS!
