I was in an assault battle a bit ago on Grim Plexus. I was in a Corsair COR-5R. I was on the hill near one of those green ponds or whatever they are supposed to be when I took a shot that both seemed to spin my mech a bit and destroyed my engine.

My mech rolled down the hill, and as I've seen some do, actually came to rest on its back with legs in the air, slowly spinning. But it didn't stop. I stayed on the end of battle screen for at least three minutes and my mech continued to move, sometimes increasing the spin rate and actually rising up and spinning on the cockpit, like it was break dancing. It went through several cycles where it would go almost flat on the ground and almost stop spinning, then its legs would scissor or something and it would start spinning quickly again and become nearly vertical.

I don't know if it appeared like that to anyone else, I didn't want to distract them from the battle to watch my crazy mech spinning on its head. Has anyone else ever seen this?

Corsair was first to do this. Then lately other mechs doing the same. It is the dead dance now. Or if someone has a better name for it.

Breakdancing dead mechs goes back as far as the release of the first clan mechs.
