KGC-B0531 King Crab ("Pulsar")
Designed around year 3051, The KGC-B0531 "Pulsar" is a pet project led by the chief-engineer Yuna Cassel of the Comstar Techs, competing for the title of "Clanbuster" but lost to a way simpler idea to retrofit the original King Crab, the KGC-001 upon the year 3052. The variant still exist, and can be bought made-to-order, but is too expensive for mass production armies and only sought market with rich collectors and private mercenaries, and use with home-planet defense such as the Royal Guards.
Particularly a deviant design, it was armed by two PPCs matching the damage rating of a single AC20, in each arms totaling of four, as opposed of autocannons or even gauss-rifles. This solved the ammunition shortages of the original King-Crab, relying on the reactor instead, as well as the faster projectile allowed it to hit targets much easier in addition of being able to hit enemies much farther. Among the armaments are 2 machine-guns, two on each side-torso. And situated on the center torso and the head, are three LRM5 racks upon the spine and face. The engine is upgraded to XL350 slightly faster movement speed, and it has ten external double-heat-sinks, one in each arm, two in each side torso, and four more in the engine, to make the mech fairly cool.
The KGC-B0531 "Pulsar" is a particularly problematic design, due to it's deviant nature, weapons have to be custom-fit, and collaboration from other manufacturers were made, with assets exported from planet to planets, resulting into a needlessly expensive 'Mech. The meticulous custom-fitting of weapons however, allowed increased efficiency of performance, such as the PPCs heat is dissipated faster as well as produces no feedback below 90m, the LRM rack with faster missile delivery, and the machine-guns are more accurate, reach farther and shoots faster. The answer to the problems of LRM vulnerability is answered by having 4 AMS with 3 tons of ammunition.
Upon the year 3069, the design schematic of the Pulsar were unearthed from the facility captured by Corsara Weaponries, serving as an inspiration for the improved KGC-008.

LRM racks situated at the spine and face, yellow dots are specific missile tubes.
Also i am not a balancing guru, clearly, the quirks are there to show the spirit of the hero, it can be adjusted to taste.
Your thoughts?
