MercTech: King Crab

History:
Much like the Atlas, the King Crab is a 100 ton assault mech that was designed to the specifications of the legendary SLDF general Aleksandr Kerensky. Where the Atlas was designed as a nigh-impenetrable walking fortress, the King Crab is designed as the ultimate area of denial mech, relying on two massive Class-20 autocannons to dismantle virtually any target unfortunate enough to enter their effective range, with secondary weapons to engage at further targets.

The King Crab would become a rare sight in the early 31st Century, as there would be no remaining factories following the Succession Wars, and any remaining examples would have their advanced armor and ammo explosion-mitigation systems removed, as the knowledge to their production and maintenance would be lost. It wouldn't be until the Battle of Tukayyid that Comstar would field original models, as well as a new variant, the -001, which makes use of as many advanced technologies as Comstar can cram into the chassis to face the Clan juggernaut. Following this, new variants using the latest technologies would be introduced throughout the century.
