I hope this means missile doors. Mech Daddy needs that sweet damage reduction!

I am absolutely okay with this idea.

Archer has them, Dervish has them, etc., so I can not see why not give them to Crusader.

Yup, leg missiles move to side torsos, belly level. Image 19 of 27.

You are right. I think that we all expected it:

At this point, PGI would be downright cruel if it wasn't a Crusader.

I hope we get the fast variants, too: CRD-6D and CRD-6T (energy boat).

"Cruel" is Matt Newman's second name.

We have another part of the head - looks like the horn is there, just wasn't recognizable in the preview.

Aaand we have the left arm housing complete. Looks like the hand actuator is moved further down the forearm so that the hand can pivot out of the armored housing.

Watch those massive arms ...

[ScrapIron Prime]

Okay... so it DOES have missiles in the forearms. What are the shoulder pads for, then? decoration? 2 hard points per arm, one low one high?

I guess that it's just a decoration. Equipping additional missiles will probably create that bulky "Zeus" arm.

Maybe? Or just that's the armour plating of this particular Crusader interpretation?
