Overview:
Renaissance mech, Support unit; waste of Combine credits.. The
Explorer mech is based on designs such as the Daiymo and the
Blackjack; its body being designed around a generally aerodynamic
frame; the arms and legs square and blocky in design. The build
itself is rugged, based around easy to replace and long duration
parts. While the design was initially given a poor review during the
3030’s not long before the war of 39 actually; later words from both
the LAW RnD Dept and a whisper from informed parties in the O5P.
Originally intended to be a medium class front line mech, a later
revision geared it towards sensor use and speed; and a decent jumping
ability. Being based on a preexisting series of builds’ parts were
available with minor modifications, this allowed many of the newly
formed Ghost Regiments and many of the long standing units to recover
well enough after the losses caused during the troubled 3050-65 era.
Intended to be a scout mech of sorts, its armor has been thinned
lightly on the legs and overall to give way to room for more engine
space and the jump jets. While the design is seen as inferior to some
of the more popular and newer Combine builds; the mech can perform
well in its designated role of support and reconnaissance unit. Being
a low cost mech, based around reiable and proven equipment; with a
full range of sensor capacity, its quite capable of performing long
missions with support from larger units or a ready resupply. A recent
change in the design has changed the weapons load out for the SRM6
pod to that of a mixed series of specialized munitions, granting the
mech variable combat abilities and a edge in a mixed battle providing
the ammunitions low load count is kept in mind.

Nice fluff, again that adds to the mech. Nice to see it's limited in numbers as well.

Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything.
