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.
