The Crab and the King Crab are two different mechs.

If ever a Mech screamed, "Give me circular energy mounts!", it would have been the Crab... especially for that center torso one. The arms are perfectly fine as square, but that center torso one really needs to be circular to fit the surrounding structure.

Man, those square lasers are so ugly. Especially evident on the Crab like you said.

Only rear-mounted lasers have round holes... :ph34r:

I think it's the opposite, the square laser mounts are very nicely juxtaposed against the round features of the torso.
It'd be too much roundness otherwise.

Yeah, well, as long as PGI keeps making sh*t looking dynamic geometry, I and many others will continue "***** about on these forums"
The anorexic autocannon and PPC barrels on most 'mechs
Identical lasers across the sizes (0.5 ton and 7 ton lasers are IDENTICAL), while at the same time being stupid looking stumpy square pegs, instead of how they always looked in BT
Missiles that look BEYOND ridiculous with instead of using a separate model, having blocked out tubes, that look absolutely lazy and half-arsed...

You do realize that the entire point of a forum is to talk about things, yes?
