==Overview:==
After the Clan defeat on Luthien, the Draconis Combine began to develop a new
series of mechs to replace older aging designs and free up more advanced
mechs from reserve units for front line duty. One of the designs selected for
the latter was the Ashigaru, a 45 ton medium mech built specifically as a
second line unit, using already existing stockpiles of non-advanced
technology, save for an endo-steel frame.
==Capabilities:==
The Ashigaru receives it name for the "foot soldiers" of the ancient feudal
Japanese era on Terra. As name implies, it is a very simple design meant for
low ranking or freshly graduated soldiers and has very little outstanding
characteristics other then being quick and affordable to produce.
A 180 GM Fusion engine allows the Ashigaru to cruise up to 64.8 km/h. Eight
and a half tons of standard armor cover its frame, providing adequate
protection from incoming fire. Ten single heatsinks dissipate its fairly low
heat curve. Four jump jets, available thanks to the use of an endo-steel
frame, provide enough lift to propel the mech 120 meters.
The Ashigaru's primary weapon is a class 10 autocannon mounted in the right
arm, giving it moderate punch out to medium ranges. A single SRM-4 fixed in
the center torso increases its short range fire power. A medium laser in the
left arm rounds out its fire power. Almost as an after thought a small laser
was installed in the head forward of the cockpit. Most mechwarriors simple
perfer to disconnect the small weapon rather then use it, as the heat from
firing the laser can overwhelm the cockpit air circulation system.
==Variants:==
There are no variants of the Ashigaru. Instead, the Draconis Combine does
field the Tanegashima, which appears similar in appearance to Ashigaru, except
having upgrades systems and lacking jump capability.

==Overview:==
The Tanegashima was produced in limited numbers as a possible upgrade of the
Ashigaru for front line duty, pending battle field review.
==Capabilities:==
Named after a type of ancient matchlock firearm produced in feudal Japan, the
Tanegashima fields more advanced technology then the Ashigaru. The new mech
removes the jumpjets and upgrades the armor to ferro-fiberous, upgrading
existing weaponry and adding a missile launcher.
An LB10-X autocannon replaces the standard model. The medium laser is upgraded
to the pulse variety, increasing accuracy. An LRM-5 is mounted next to the
SRM-4 in the center torso. The head mounted small laser remains the same,
except the manufacturer removed the ability for "manually disengaging" the
system. The air circulation system has been upgrading as well.

Nicely done. The fluff sells the mechs. Both are decent and fit the House thinking levels and keep with in their abilities!

Thanks. These two designs and the Gonne I created when I was going through a Faction-45er Phase-a 45 tonner themed for each faction. I couldn't create anything that stood out for Marik, Steiner, and Davion.

Overview: Left with large stockpiles of old weapons from refitted Mechs, a group of Draconis Combine engineers realized they could design a very cheap second-line mech using stockpiled parts leftover from refits. After initial testing the Bushi proved to be a good design to guard rear areas, freeing up more advanced mechs for frontline duty. Capability: The Bushi is slow, but carries an AC/5 and PPC as its main weaponry and three medium lasers and machineguns for close-in work. Ideal for garrison and riot duty, the Bushi is a very cost-effective machine. Battle History: Variants: Famous Mechs and Warriors: Deployment:
