Description
Designed by Cosara Weaponries in 2741 to, quote, cripple or destroy another 'Mech in one salvo, the King Crab is a fearsome combatant. Armed primarily with twin AC/20s and backed up by a Large Laser and LRM-15, the King Crab is dangerous at any range while its thick armor ensures it can close the distance with any opposition. However, it carries limited ammunition for the autocannons, ensuring it is dependent on supply lines. Still, the KGC-000 should not be underestimated.

Description
One of the most heavily armed and armored 'Mechs ever constructed, the King Crab 0000 is capable of massive burst damage. A pair of heavy, close-range Autocannons form its primary weaponry, backed up by ranged weaponry to fire as it closes distance.

Description
The King Crab-000b, the Star League's Royal variant, is every bit as powerful as its downgraded cousin, the -0000. Still armed with twin AC/20s, the -000b's double heat sinks and doubled ammo keeps the massive cannons firing far longer and more frequently making the -000b a true terror on the battlefield.

Description
One of the so-called Clanbuster variants during the lead-up to the Battle of Tukayyid, ComStar's techs replaced the twin autocannons with two Gauss Rifles and four tons of ammo in the arms, trading a minor reduction in destructive capacity for greatly increased range. While retaining the LRM launcher the large laser was upgraded to a Large Pulse Laser and two Streak SRM-2s, split between the side torsos with a single ton of reloads each, were added. These changes were accomplished by using an extralight engine in place of the standard model.

Description
The King Crab-002 is a natural extension of the King Crab's combat role: brutal close assault. The AC/20s of the original were upgraded to LB-20X versions with 6 total tons of ammo. All the King Crab's backup weapons were replaced with a pair of Large Pulse Lasers in the right torso. Endo-Steel gives the bonus weight to allow for these improvements and CASE protects both side torso ammo bins. The -002 saw small but regular sales and remained in production through the 3060s.

Description
The King Crab -005 is an upgrade of the downgraded -0000 model that replaces the AC/20s with massive LB-X 20s, while the Large Laser was replaced with an ER model. Cementing the -005's focus on CQC, the LRM-15 was dropped in favor of a pair of Streak SRM-4s, with a C3i computer to round off the -005's role in a Level II.

Description
Developed in secret by Cosara Weaponries and the Terran Hegemony, the KGC-010 is built around a then-newly developed Magna PPC that sat flush with the torsos and tricked opponents into not understanding what they were fighting. Combined with a pair of powerful LB-10X Autocannons and 12 SRM tubes ringing the PPCs and the KGC-010 proved a deadly opponent. However, all existing examples went with Kerensky on the Exodus and they were only preserved in the Clans, making the -010 exceedingly rare.

Description
A personalized design driven by the pilot callsign of bloodydoves, the KGC-BD is a highly customized King Crab that exists to punish enemies merely for existing in the same battlezone as it does.

A Clan-spec ECM gives protection while an advanced TTS provides accuracy for the gauss rifles.
