(1/2 ton over; ignores 1/4 ton round-up rule)
After the successful deployment of quad
technology by Carllek Enterprises, other
BattleMech manufacturers strated taking
another look at four legged platforms.
Theil Industries was one of those
companies. The combination of an ER
PPC and LB X Autocannon provide a
powerful one, two punch at nearly any
range. These weapons, combined with
speed and quad mobility make it a threat
at both long and short ranges. At long
range, its' speed makes it a difficult
target, while at short range, back shots are
the norm. One "quirk" of the design, was
the placement of the LB-X ammo.
Engineers place the ammo in the right
rear leg for several reasons. First, was the
hopes that it would be hit less often.
Because it is a quad the chances of
kicking a rear leg are reduced. While an
explosion results in a leg loss, it
probably will not penetrate through the
torsos, thus providing mechwarrior
longetivity.
