So I have seen the hatchetman spawn in missions besides flashpoints but I have not seen the others. Can anyone let me know if they have seen the other two mechs spawn in missions besides the flashpoints?

I have seen all three, with the Hatchetman showing up the most. I have only seen three crabs spread out across two different career games. I ran into one last night on the starting planet of a new career game I started and i managed to salvage 3/5 pieces from it. I have only seen one Cyclops, but it did appear just as assault mechs were only just starting to appear in my previous career game. So they are showing up, but I feel they are not appearing in big numbers which is really disappointing as I love all three mechs and want to use them.

I have seen many Cyclopses in both Flashpoints and regular missions.

My campaign is post-story, so I am doing missions with too many skulls to see the Crab or Hatchetman outside of lower skull Flashpoint missions. I have 2/3 of a Crab and 2 Hatchetmen from Flashpoints, though, so they come eventually. :)

I've only seen hachetman's. The crabs might be rarer, just started seeing meds in career and shadowhawks and hachet seems to be the more common sight.

I'm in post story mode and have salvaged about 4 Hatchetmen and 2 Cyclopes but no Crabs as of yet. Maybe I need to go against whatever group runs with Crabs so I can get at least 4.

I have seen 2 or 3 Hatchetman mechs so far, and 2 Crab mechs too. I haven't seen any Cyclops mechs yet, however that is due to me playing Career Mode and having a Medium Mech lance. I can't take on missions yet that would reliably have mechs like the Cyclops in it.

I have seen Hatchetman and Cyclops in abundance.

Not the crab yet.

Both Liao and Kurita have Crabs in their stores, so I'd guess that if anyone fields them more often, it would be those factions.

In my current pieces of 5 ironman, I have come across the Crab and the Hatchetman in missions, but not a sign of any Cyclops. I have only 2 more pieces of Hatchetman to find to make a complete one.

Thanks for the feedback guys as I just finished my 4 parts career on iron man with slow skills and only lost one mech and one mission. Funny enough it was the last mission I did and my first flashpoint. I just wanted to check the spawns before I started over on a new play through.

In my current pieces of 5 ironman, I have come across the Crab and the Hatchetman in missions, but not a sign of any Cyclops. I have only 2 more pieces of Hatchetman to find to make a complete one.

I is nice to see someone else doing a more challenging play through.
