==Overview:==
With the appearance of the Clans and its more advanced battlemechs, the
Sprinter is the Inner Sphere's attempt to mimic the abilities of the Dasher,
or Fire Moth as it is called by the Clans.

==Capabilities:==
The Sprinter looks much like the Locus and has similar capabilities as the
Dasher, except not having omni capabilties and a slower top speed.

Using a 180 XL engine, the Sprinter is capable of top speeds of 151 km/h. With
the activation of the MASC system, the mech is able to cruise at speeds in
excess of 190 km/h for brief periods of time.

To make up for its slower speed, the Sprinter is armored a fair bit more then
its Clan cousin with ferro-fiberous armor. Endo is used to lighten the
internal structure and allow room for a decent weapons payload.

The weapon system consists of 3 Medium pulse lasers, 1 mounted in each arm and
1 in the center torso. With its amazing speed and accurate weapon system, it
can get behind many a heavy mech and strike at its weak rear armor.



==Variants:==
There are several variants in testing. All typically switch out the standard
coolent system for double strength heatsinks. The most promising variant
switchs out the medium pulse lasers for 6 standard medium lasers, nearly
doubling its firepower at the cost of more heat. Other variants swap out 1 or
2 medium lasers for a variaty of standard medium lasers or small pulse lasers.
