Paper Wasp
Chassis: Unknown Power Plant: Unknown 240 XL Cruising Speed: 64.5 Maximum Speed: 96.75 Jump Jets: Unknown Jump Capacity: 90 meters Armor: Unknown with CASE Armament: 1 Clantech ATM-3 2 Clantech Medium Pulse Lasers 1 Clantech Ultra AC/2 Manufacturer: Unknown Primary Factory: Unknown Communications System: Unknown Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown with Multi-Trac Targeting
Overview: When the clans needed a second line/support mech to fill gaps after the interesting times of 3058 and onwards, this design was showcased and passed; built around a reicently developed ATM 3 rack, the squat humanoid mech has been called a paper wasp, due to its narrow pointed cockpit section and the distinct buzzing sound the jump jets make while cooling down; in addition of course the deadly accuracy of its missle rack makes it quite capable of 'stinging' a target at range when backed by the UAC2. Up close, a pair of medium pulse lasers serve well. Decently armored with standard armor, a high HD curve and both speed and agility make it a efficent and mobile 40 tonner when coupled with the clan's advanced training and tactics. While the mechs weaponry is sufficent, the rather low load count, two tons of ammo per system means resupply may be needed on lengthy missons, though in hunting packs the Wasp is quite capable of taking down larger and heavier armed foes. Some pilots of course, laugh at the light but fast mech, seeing the somewhat small, fragile appearing thing as a throwback to older, less fluid/advanced designs though in combat the mech is more then at home leaping, running and firing all in a single motion; future designs may call for ECM/probe pods to extend its cabilites further, for now though the mech possesses several high points, durability, speed and weapons range that make it a combatant to be wary of.
Capabilities: Unkown, full combat data is still being gathered.
Deployment: 5 stars worth within clan space.
Battle History: Unkown aside from some grainy sensor videos leaked onto the Comstar network.
Known Variants: Unkown as of this time, though the unit has been seen, possibly, both in clan wolf and in clan steel viper.
