Overview:
    In lore fluff, something something Scorpion Empire.
    
    Real fluff.  Saw the Ram plate.  And combined it with older 80 ton 5/8(13) ram bot concepts.

Capabilities:
    153 points of damage in a best case scenerio.
    
    So long as the spikes last, when combined with ferro-lamelor armor, it doesn't take damage
    when it hits with a charge.  It's a good combo.

Variants:
    There is an interface cockpit variant.  Allows the installation of an ERLL and a turret
    which at least improves its ability to poke at targets while it lines up a charge.

Notable MechWarriors:
    So not this mech,  but I got an honorable mention story involving the charging Celerity.
    Had a few of them to use up the last bits of BV allowed for this game.  In any case, managed
    to slam one of the hyper sonic crowbars into a hunchback.  Who proceeded to take a good
    chunk of damage.  And then fly off a cliff.  Into some water.  We never saw that guy again.
    Opponents got real careful to stay out of my bubble after that.  Which is fine since like
    90% of my BV budget was devoted to a pair of clan Sniper type assault mechs.
    
    But the charge bots accounted for several more light mechs and almost another heavy but a
    last second lucky shot prevented the charge that would of pushed the target off the map.
    
    By that point my antics had turned a paired set of 1 on 1 matches into a 3 on 1 fight.  I
    was still winning when tine was called.
