All depends on how low - or high - are those arms going to be.

So yes, as expected, the leg pods have been integrated into the side torsos... not a bad adaptation

"Cruel" is Matt Newman's second name.

Cruel would be releasing the artwork for an abandoned mech, with no plans of actually releasing it in-game.

So it was Crusader, after all ...

You can try Crusader and maybe you will like the 'Mech too.

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the new Crusader?

[Novakaine]

This mech dad is extremely happy.
At 60 plus never thought I'd get to see my favorite all time mech in the game.
I'm overwhelmed thanks PGI!

[TheArisen]

Hopefully the implementation is solid but it does look pretty good. I'd really like them to include the energy boat variant.

[BarHaid]

I love that goofy unicorn horn.

[Hawk819]

Yep. Crusader is a coming and I say this. . .

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!

[ScrapIron Prime]

The head might make me nickname them “ChubbyCheeks” or “Jowlz” but I will love them nonetheless.

Now… who do I make the check out to?

Crusader almost made it into the last Mektek's MekPak.

Specifically, the "unreleased" MekPak.

There were some 6-7 'Mechs that I hoped to see in that fan mod. Oh, well.

You can send the check to me. No problem.

Crusader: mech quirk: +1 Beagle Active Probe quirk built-in.

You can also add/stack in an actual Beagle Active Probe to enjoy 2x Beagle Active Probe function in the Crusader!!

ie: almost like a Bloodhound Active Probe!

That would actually be useful, because as I understand it missile lock time is a function of distance to target divided by max sensor range. The more inside your sensor range a target is, the quicker the lock. And with TWO beagle probe's worth?

[May Cauldron correct me if I'm wrong!]

Honestly, since it's meant to be a close range mech, I'd expect survival quirks and reduced / removed LRM min range.

Ah yes, the famous "deadfire" LRMs. Those were a Solaris thing, but that would definitely carve out a niche for the mech!

Maybe additional missile ammo quirks? Since the 'Mech is designed mostly around missiles of various kinds, why not to make sure that it has a plentiful supply of those missiles. With cooldown quirk perhaps?
