BATTLETECH: The King Crab

There is an ominous destroyer with pincer stalks forward during the decline of the #StarLeague, and it is one that would crush its foes for centuries after its appearance, both in the #InnerSphere and in the #Exodus. A #Battlemech with a truly terrifying appearance, and a truly terrifying potential, the #KingCrab is a weapon which though flawed in its original form, is something with such immediate destructive capability, most of its foes will do all they can to avoid it.

The #SLDF would be the first to take up this mighty crustacean inspired giant. The #TerranHegemony would follow, and unfortunately the #AmarisEmpire would have it as well.

From there, #Comstar and the #WordofBlake would be its next primary stewards, during the #ClanInvarion and beyond. The #Clans too had this mech in their history, but it was left forgotten.

The #DarkAge and #Ilclan era are here, and the King of the Crabs would see itself in the service of many powers. From the #RepublicoftheSphere, the #LyranCommonwealth, and the #CapellanConfederation.

There are few things more terrifying... than a King Crab at short range.
