[edit] Description
Taking its name from a term meaning "Lightning War" the Blitzkrieg completely lives up to the name. The Blitzkrieg is built on a lightweight Coventry BTZ-VII Endo Steel chassis and is powered by a Magna 350 XL engine that weighs half as much as a standard fusion engine while giving the 'Mech a top speed of 118.8 km/h. The Blitzkrieg is primarily protected by its high speed and carries six and a half tons of Lexington Limited High Grade Ferro-Fibrous armor that is light for a 'Mech of the Blitzkriegs size
[edit] Armament
The cavernous amount of space in the Blitzkrieg allows it to carry a massive Defiance Thunder Ultra Autocannon/20 that can fire at twice the rate as a standard autocannon. This powerful weapon combined with the 'Mechs high speed lets the Blitzkrieg truly live up to its name by bringing an immense amount of firepower to bear on a target and fading away just as quickly.
