Line 31: The '''''Scorpion LAM''''' was a failed [[BattleMech]] project conducted by the [[Brigadier Corporation]] of [[Oliver]] in the late [[twenty-seventh century]]. The project was part of the company's attempt to get into the [[Land-Air 'Mech]] market and, like other LAMs, the design is based upon an existing BattleMech; in this case, Brigadier's own ''[[Scorpion (BattleMech)|Scorpion]]''. With the base set, the design team completely redesigned the ''Scorpion'' to meet the needs of a machine that is able to transform from a quadruped 'Mech into an [[aerospace fighter]].
