Am I the only person who never noticed Loki has a tail before?
I actually noticed that fairly quickly. Experimental Loki is easily one of my favorite special editions, as I love the color scheme and blend of complex, mechanical plating with a more animal-like silhouette. Many robots (particularly special editions) have tried to pull this aesthetic off, but I think Experimental Loki is one of the only ones to successfully do it. It’s a hard aesthetic to do, but it’s probably one of my favorites when done well.

Is it a tail or the end of the weapon?

It's a tail. The Loki in the picture is running Sonics.
Below is a profile view. Note: The Loki's front is facing to the right.

That Dino-Bolt tail is pretty cool as well, I don't like the Megalodon-Orochi tail...just too big.

Hey Friends of Loki, talk to me about the Titan sonic weapons. Woof they hit hard and can they easily hit a Loki without using a Quantum Sensor module? That appears to maybe be the case but I could be wrong...

I can't say. I haven't had any Lokis in my hanger for about 2 weeks now. Farting around with other stuff. The bulk of my bacon-grabbing has been coming via my Skyros.

Same, was doing yan-di bots now TDM bots, I haven't run my Loki's for a while. But I've seen those sonic weapons at range, so long as you're running left or right you're fine. If you're stationary idk.

do yall run armadillo or whiteout on the loki? I use Armadillo, but I could see people using Whiteout. Unfortunately, I only have one Armadillo. Hard to justify the current price.

It's with a heavy heart that I'm declaring the Loki, in the current meta, is of limited utility. In squad play there's so much stuff out there that can hit Loki (maybe by hacking) that it's hard to make an impact. Solo play in the mornings can see some fun, but for now I'm pulling Loki out.
I'll keep y'all informed.

I'll keep y'all informed. It’s just because of the stealth meta I think. When everyone has Beak drones, Lynx, and other miscellaneous stealth, there will be a lot of Quantum Radar, Quantum Sensor, and area attack equipment to counter it, all of which of course hurts Loki in particular. It also does not help that Loki faces stiff competition from Skyros.

Update: I'm still running Sonic Loki in my Morning Hangar.
Springfield: I held CB with Loki for around 1 minute against TWO Rooks and a Khepri. The Rooks had to fly off because they were powerless against me and a Arthur/Sonic had the sense to waddle over and get me at the right height.
1 kill, 7 beacons. FTW.

Still got it! I enjoyed hanging in there keeping him from capturing the beacon. It went well until a Titan showed up with his/ her bubbleguns. Had to beat feet thereafter.

Do you remember the original Golem? He had quite the sack, back in the day. Once you noticed, it couldn’t unseen.

I've done some good bacon sitting with Loki of late, attracting reds like I'm raw meat and they're flies. I love it when that plan comes together.
But what's better is when the reds roll out Loki and I'm sitting there, waiting. I think I picked up 4 Loki kills in the space of about a minute and a half recently. The best is when they come straight at you, full of arrogance, and then you turn on Quantum Radar so you can fry them. Some pilots seem to have either very little experience or very little thought.

8/3/2023 - Update A: dinnerplain The ^^^above^^^ is true. I'm always waiting for Quantum Radar and have a heal often waiting. Quantum Radar def hurts but is rarely final if it's a full health Loki. The one exception being the hated Crisis/Reaper. B: WOW! The Loki in my "Morning Crew" is messin' dem up lately. It's not uncommon for me to be on a blue beacon with 2 or MORE Titans on it trying to deal with me and since they don't have Quantum Sensor they can't do much. Did I say Wow! already? Total, complete, frickin' ruinous spoiler for the reds and, yes, quite often it contributes measurably to the Blue win. If I was the last man standing in a blue loss it wouldn't be worth mentioning. So, more than once in a while Loki is a MASSIVE counter to the Mighty Rook. Seriously. Objectively. Even Minos struggles to push Loki off a beacon and Rook's repulsing ability should work like a charm against Loki but it doesn't. Anyway YMMV.

I like running them because nobody else does. Contrarian!

Seeing less Loki since the Meta ATM is stealth...everyone & their mama is running Quantum Radar/QS. Hell last I played Oliver Kloesov he was in a Skyros I was shocked & flabergasted! Cause I was like I'll have to kill his Loki & that damn Phantom he has built so well & hope he don't drop his Revenant on my head.

Oliver must regret being such a good Quantum Radar salesman, as non-maxed Lokis are still struggling a little at the moment. I am still running one though and it is fun, just hit or miss.
