==Overview:==
The Marauder MAD-16R is a prototype variant undergoing testing, with only a
single mech so far produced.

The familiar dual PPC armament of the Marauder is replaced with a quad set of
Light PPCs, two in each arm. The common autocannon mounted on the torso is
replaced with a compact ER PPC. Two standard medium lasers provide close
protection, with a small pulse laser mounted under the cockpit as an infantry
deterent. PPC capacitors attached to the ER PPC and a single Light PPC in each
arm provide an additional punch.

An extra-light engine is used to propel the mech to over 80 kilometers per
hour. 16 double heatsinks are installed to disspate the hellish heat generated
by the weapon systems. Triple strength myomer is utilized to take advantage of
the mechs extreme heat curve.

One can easily look at the MAD-16R's arms to easily distinguish it from other
Marauders. Technicians were required to rebuild the weapon mount in a double
over single configuration to fit the two Light PPCs and medium laser in a
small frame, along with a PPC Capacitor underneath and mid forearm. 

It should also be noted from this equipment set up, the techs were able to
install a secondary shunt from the capacitor to the second Light PPC. This
allows the new Marauder to fire a single charged shot should the primary LPPC
be destroyed. Afterwards, safety overrides shutdown the damaged LPPC and
capacitor to prevent further damage.

(Game notes: Should an arm mounted capacitor be charged before the
correpsonding LPPC be destroyed, the player may elect to fire the remaining
charge out the secondary LPPC. The capacitor may no longer be allowed to
charge afterwards. Should both LPPCs be destroyed, the charge is dissapated at
the end phase.)
