Overview:
Inspired by CJ_Keys's KGC-5000.
Posted without permission, because I got tired of waiting for a response.
Despite its rareness, the KGC-5000 King Crab was one of the most feared BattleMechs in the
Star League Army. After the removal of Amaris, most of the remaining KGC-5000s were
destroyed in the Succession wars; some believed that many went with Kerensky on the Exodus.
These people were right.
After the Annihilation of the Not-Named Clan, the Grand Council censured the Blood Spirits
for "unClanlike behavior." The other Clans took this as leave to attack the Blood Spirits,
and they were beset by enemies from all sides. This created the embittered, isolated Blood
Spirits which we know today.
Most of the Star League KGC-5000s remained in Brain Caches during the Pentagon civil Wars
and Operation Klondike; as it happened, most of these Caches came under the control of Clan
Blood Spirit. With the other Clans attacking them without pause, the Blood Spirits soon
began pulling equipment from Brian Caches and upgrading it to replace their losses. This
need for'Mechs resulted in the KGC-5000(C).
Capabilities:
Blood spirit techs originally intended to bring the KGC-5000's systems in line with the new
standards of Clan technology. However, the high heat ouput of Clan ER PPCs compared standard
Star League PPCs turned the KGC-5000 from a cool running, deadly, 'Mech into a hot running
liability. After some debate (and with the agreement of the warriors), the techs completely
removed the KGC-5000's secondary weapons and replaced them with heat sinks. The result is a
BattleMech which has more heat dissipation capability then any other, so much so that the
KGC-5000(C) may move and fire its weapons without restriction.
Deployment:
The KGC-5000(C) is more specialized than its predecessor, fighting best at the longest of
ranges. However, the fact that Clan ER PPCs have no minimum range means that the KGC-5000(C)
is just as effective at short range, and they have served well in urban combat.
Whenever possible, KGC-5000(C)s are assigned to destroy at long range those enemy 'Mechs
best suited for close ranged combat. In this way, the enemy's best close combat machines
never even get into range of the Blood Spirits' own close combat 'Mechs. Many a 'Mech has
been lost to opposing sniper 'Mechs with this tactic, but seldom are they lost before
destroying multiple enemies. For the Blood Spirits, this is an acceptable trade-off.

Well made clan PPC boat with nice story behind it. One of the most dangerous mechs around. Try artillery, nukes or orbital bombardment, otherwise the losses may cost you more than this beast.

I am flattered that this design was made. I have to appologize for my self imposed exile so I couldnt answer your request. I just needed a break. I really like the design and am glad to see the Clans continued to use the KGC-5000

Take an Awesome, double its damage and do it in such a way to give it more armour and the inability to gain heat.
What more can someone say. This is the ultimate stick of eternal beatings. Short of a light mech swarm getting into your rear arc.being kicked to death. I can't see you losing this mech ever.
