------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==Overview:== The heavier version of the Battler came about at the height of the Revolt of the Warlords in the Galatic Union.
There was need for light mech that could pack a punch and still get away fast enough to come back and do it again.
Dormac Industries, one of the largest suppliers of weapons to Van Hount faction, and maker of Battler ultra light general purpose mech came up with Heavy version by adding 5 tons of weaponary to the original design and making some other modifcation on the general frame.
The end results were amazing and gave more punch and usage to the mech and more money into the coffers of Dormac Industries.
==Capabilities:== The speed of the Heavy General Purpose Mech is gained by using an extra light engine, to many this seemed to be a waste and time bomb waiting to blow up given that one of the main weapons on the HGMP Battler was a short range missile two pack.
But actual combat trials and countless pitched battles seemed to lay this fear to rest for the most part. Of the 3000 HGMP version of the Battler built only 45 every went nova do to an ammo hit and chain reaction from that hit.
The mech backs the SRM2 up with an extended range large laser. The only big draw back to this mechs is that it is a heat hog.
Some have suggested adding in the venrable double heat sink techonolgy but that has not happen since Dormac sited cost issues with the use of the extra light engine.
Overall the mech gives good service and is still found in action on several of the border worlds in the Landorf Protector and Zokar Hegemony.

That SRM-2 is just begging to be replaced with (ER?)MLs. Interesting, survivable, Hussar retread.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

It's a good idea...and given Dormac's policy of making money they would more then likely offer it as a variant...
