I can see clans outfitting solahma units with this, as it's rather cheap, but I can't help myself but wonder at some decisions made with the design. Okay, three LRM-5s. They probably wanted to have unified range envelope and desperately wanted to save another half ton on something. I don't like it, but I can live with that. Why there have to be three tons of ammo though that completely escapes me. Clan special ammo seems a bit less common and even then two tons of ammo would have been enough. Medium laser though would be a welcome addition. I don't think that additional armour would help here, but it could have also run 8/12 alternatively but instead it will try to linger for eight more rounds waiting to go boom. Clan tech really offers a saving grace here as the LRMs can be used up-close and CASE is built-in for free. Why do they waste money on DHSs though is yet another mystery here. Probably logistics. I think this may perform as good as any good IS light of Sucession Wars Era, which isn't a good rating for clan unit. Wasted potential here. |

Ecchh no.
Moderately fast with light (but not thin) armour.
But the 3 LRM 5s are a joke as a dedicated missile platform. For the same tonnage in weapons and ammo, you could have a ER PPC...
If you have to use it, try laying mines, even that is pretty stop-gap though.

Huh? At least the 1M Locust had a medium laser. On the other hand, this has some armor, which will let it live longer. It might even survive a battle, but it won't contribute much. Three LRM 5s just aren't enough weaponry, and if someone else has LRMs, they won't have much trouble killing it. That it has no energy weapons is also disturbing. It'll survive if its ammo goes off, but it won't have any weapons. |

Its marginally more useful than the Pirranha but still useless.
you need to wonder what the Clanner designing this was on? The stuff Nova Cat's use to go on spirit quests?
This mech has few purposes except LRM speciality rounds. Course thats not very clan like. |

In a stand-up brawl I'd take a Mandrill over the Baboon. But as part of a recon or headhunter star this 'mech can do some serious damage without ever taking return fire. |
