Im not saying that the Kodiak is a bad mech, frankly I would love a 64kph 100 ton mech with massive blades on its arms! but thats not what we are getting. we are getting yet another 100 ton mech that's got more energy vomit and one big gun. I will literally cry if they release the Axe man and Hatchet Man as its a waist of perfectly good brawling mechs. that's what these mechs are supposed to be! Run up to someone else and hack them to pieces! it would be so much fun if we could do that, but sadly I know piranha games has NO interest in making a good game. just a okay game that cost a lot of money or a lot of time.

[FupDup]

The other variants have more ballistics and missiles.

[Azeem447]

again though, will the Kodiaks have melee attacks? If no than I am literally cry over the waist of a perfectly good mech.

[FupDup]

No, they won't have melee.

You can even read on Sarna that the claws WERE NEVER MEANT FOR MELEE. They were decorative. Realistically speaking, they would probably snap in half if they were used against an enemy mech.

[xXBagheeraXx]

Id be more worried about any models dripping in missile hardpoints sir....

You either get 100 tons of SPLAT or 100 tons of Missile spam. Either way its goinna be hell....

[Rakshasa]

The Kodiak's claws are ornamental. iirc the Clans consider hand-to-hand in Mechs to be dishonourable, while the IS has no problem grabbing a double handful of an enemy Mech and going to town Glasgow-style, so it makes sense - but I agree, it's still a tragic waste

another person with no clue what he's talking about.

Kodiak Claws are, and have always been, DECORATIVE.

Frankly, I would love people to take 10 seconds on google to educate themselves before making a pointless topic.

There are absolutely... NO..... and I repeat....absolutely NOT a SINGLE Kodiak variant with Arm Claws.
I do not get it where this hillarious notion comes from.
Those shown on pictures are simple aestetiks cause of its status as totem mech.
Standart version of the Kodiak features 8 ERMLasers 4xeach Arm, UAC20 right Torso and 2 SSRM6 left Torso, 400XL Reaktor 20DHS ( 10+10 where 16 are placed in the engine )

Edit: forgot to mention the single ERLLaser in CT

You answered it for yourself. For some of us that's enough of a reason to throw money at screen.

You also forgot to include jump jets / MASC, so make it 90 kph. Yes, please.

And also don't forget: Executioner has 8 tons of locked jump jets and MASC with no endo steel. Dire Wolf is a 100 tonner with no endo steel and ff. Kodiak gets option of both, and all variants come stock with endo and DHS, with option to fit one jumpjet on one of them and a special variant with MASC... So.. Yeah.

The Kodiak is going to be very, very versatile. Sure, it can do laser spam, but there are versions with the hardpoints to do just about anything you want from 4x UAC5 to LRM60 to SRM24 + UAC20 to dual Gauss to terrible frankenmech builds. It is as fast as a WHK and fully customizable, so unless it is overly huge with terrible hitboxes I can't see how it is not going to be a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. If it is the same size as an Atlas or smaller and has decent hitboxes it will be a terror.

[Katotonic]

I am wary of the hitboxes and arm weapon height just looking at the concept art on the purchase page. That said, as a dedicated assault driver I am licking my chops on this one!

Needs to be expanded to 2 hard points instead of one and the laser lenses moved to the eyes! . The actual head is part of the CT hitbox. Seems legit .

Are you sure you want to try that? I hope you enjoy smashing your claws off, they were never meant for melee combat.
