Nice. Slim, fast and jumping. It would be curse to bad shots.
But hardpoints of a default variant are lame. Energy-only, no weapons in arms. I hope we will get SDR-5K with ballistic hardpoints.

Another awesome redesign, FD! I was hoping we'd get to see the Spider at some point! One of the designs most needing a "re-think" IMHO! I like the JJ stabilizers.

Now THAT is a brilliant piece of art. A true FlyingDebris take on a gangly little creep of a 'Mech. So much tribute being paid to previous artists' pictures.

My one little gripe is that the angle causes the arms to look a little different in length.

Well done, Alex.

I think this is hands down the best Spider art I've ever seen. Kudos.

I thought the spider was also one of the unseen 'mechs because of how it looked on Sarna.net.

YES!

YESYESYES!

We were lacking a dedicated light scout. We've now got our scout.

Also, this was my very first 'mech in the Battletech P&P. Mechwarrior 2nd edition, I rolled up a Spider. I thought for sure it was a terrible design, but quickly learned all of it's benefits.

I'm so glad to see this magnificent FWL/DC Mech. Getting one for sure. Where do I sign?

Well that was unexpected.

This may be one of my favorite redesigns, alongside the Cataphract. I always liked the Spider, but it was fugly as all get out.

Certainly fits into the Recon role, if a bit overspecialized for it.

You actually made the Spider look good. I didn't think that was even possible.

Okay, full-on robot chubby for this one!!! Alex, man, you have really outdone yourself... this one is beautiful, and it doesn't make the Spider look like a damn action figure, hehe.

...Spider. Never been a fan of the Spider. Even for a scout mech it always seemed very underwhelming to me. Was hoping for the Panther for the next light mech. Wanted to see the little light brawler on the battlefield.
