==Description==
The '''''Tiburon''''' is a name that harkens back to when [[Clan Sea Fox]] was known as [[Clan Diamond Shark]]. The ''Tiburon'' is named after a large Terran shark found in the Caribbean. The design was created as the Clan transformed itself from a decimated-yet-centralized military force to a nomadic, spacefaring society of warrior-merchants. The ''Tiburon'' is just as lethal as its namesake and unlike most other [['Mech]]s built by the Sea Foxes, the ''Tiburon'' is not for sale and is used exclusively by its own warriors.<ref name=TRO:3145M/>

The ''Tiburon'' is distinguished by its retractable and shielded weapons payload, which is only deployed when the ''Tiburon'' engages its target, giving it a surprisingly nonaggressive appearance. [[Ferro-fibrous armor]] protection is augmented by a [[CASE II]] system.<ref name=TRO:3145M/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Fast and well-armed for its weight, the ''Tiburon'' can be used in scout and attack formations alike. Mounting a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in each arm, and backed up by two [[SRM-2]] launchers and twin [[ER small laser]]s, the ''Tiburon'' can quickly close with an enemy and inflict damage before moving out of range again. Making matters worse for its opponents, the ''Tiburon'' carries a [[Watchdog CEWS]] to not only interfere with their electronics, but also assist in finding them from farther distances, and the lasers are all connected to an accurate [[targeting computer]].<ref name=TRO:3145M/>

==Variants==
*; ''Tiburon'' Josem : Josem Hawker's custom ''Tiburon'' replaces the [[ER medium laser]]s with [[heavy medium laser]]s.{{cn}}

==Design Quirks==
The ''Tiburon'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref name=TRO:3145M/>

==Notable pilots== 
* SaKhan [[Petr Kalasa]] of [[Spina Khanate]] of [[Clan Sea Fox]] piloted a Tiburon during most of his career.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'' p. 45-279</ref>

==Notes==
* The ''Tiburon'' was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its ''Falcon's Prey'' expansion set. It was used for only the game's unique 'mechs, it was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game.
