#ok if i get another locust one day i may try and kitbash the first one its kinda fun

[matrim-cauthons-hat]

so i tried my hand at creating a locust with a LB 2-X AC, and starting from the 1E, it turns out it like wasnt hard like at all. just give it a clan XL engine and strip the other weapons, and it frees up 6 ton to use for the weapon and a single ton of ammo. it was a bit boring so i added an endo steel and cut half a ton of armour to give it a trio of jumpjets. i figure mobility will help it survive more than armour ever will. did leave me with an extra point of armour to add to the head tho. i figure that since the cannon is mounted in the torso, we can just not both putting arms on it. like, they aint needed its fine. oh yeah and upgraded its single heat sinks to double because why the hell not. maybe they will take a hit somehwere instead of something important like the ammo or the engine. but, i wanted to get silly...

SO I TRIED TO PUT A SECOND LB 2-X AC!!!!!

i stripped it down to half a ton of armour, ripped out those jump jets i gave it, made the XL engine just a touch smaller, and took away all those nice jump jets id given it, to create my ultimate war machine! sure, its as sturdy as a wet tissue and is going to evaporate the moment another mech so much as looks at it, but damn if it isnt going to be just kinda irritating the whole time. like, not actually an issue but you kinda wish it would go away
