seriously, guys. the big guy's been around awhile, but never seems to make it into electronic gaming. not sure why the hell not, thing's a beast. I mean, granted it's slow as hell, but most assaults are, and it's hard to argue it wouldn't be useful, what with mounting Dual AC/20s on its base variant and a lot more nastyness on the others. anyways, your thoughts on whether or not the big guy should make it ingame?

I will pay for a King Crab.

I will pay double if it comes with a decal that says 'giant enemy crab'

[Vulpesveritas]

I still would rather see a poptart jumpjet assault like the highlander so I can knock it out of the sky with an AC/5 round to the cockpit or three.

After that base is covered the King Crab would be great, especially colored red with some garlic on the side.

I want PGI to have sometime after launch where they have a pack releasing both the Crab and t he King Crab with the caption 'WE HAVE CRABS!'

King crab's gonna be mech 12. It has to be. I won't let it be any other way.

It would be nice to see them co-released, I agree

[Arkhangel]

nice to see there's other King Crab fans out there. sure it won't get anywhere in a hurry...but you do NOT wanna be in weapons range

[Thomas Hogarth]

The KGC is relatively rare compared to other 'Mechs we haven't seen yet. Therefore, I'd rather see the more common chassis flushed out first.

I'm all for the King Crab making an appearance. The lower profile will make it a much more attractive 100 tonner, the lack of profile will make it that much harder to hit.



Though, I'm all for the ComGuard upgrade (KGC-001) they brought to Tukayyid. Swapping the AC20's for Gauss Rifles.

Yeah, the "clan buster" variant is nasty indeed. I would like to see the king crab in game at some point.

[Kudzu]

I'm hoping for a Star League expansion with the KC in it.

[Arkhangel]

hmm, maybe along with the Orion and those other iconic SLDF mechs and the Crab, of course.

King Crab is great mech,it dont really need more love its already very popular...

it isnt in games becose I believe its legs are harder to be programed properly? also it is maybe Op to have such slim sexy legs,hard to hit

but I agree,I want king crab in the game... it have the balls( AC20s),it have charizma,I want it

I really hope that if they do choose to add it at any point they go for a different scale. That thing looks like it's Nova sized compared to that Atlas. And figuring out front/rear armor on that would be really tough.

[Armored Yokai]

its like a walking demolisher with a lrm 15 and large laser

[Clay Pigeon]

We already have a 100 tonner.

[Raalic]

i love King Crab's profile. Most of its bulk is impossible to hit with direct fire, so most of what you see when you look at it is aligned horizontally. this is a big deal. me want

At 100 tons, we probably won't be seeing it at launch, but hopefully down the road.

Maybe because it's ugly as hell?

The king crab is an exception!
