Description
The Cudgel is a Solaris VII BattleMech. By using an XL Engine, the designers kept the speed very high, on par with the Timber Wolf. To make the Cudgel even more effective, the designers fitted it with Triple Strength Myomer. When the heat rises high enough and the TSM activates, the Cudgel can use the movement profile of a 3025 Wasp.[2] The TSM also makes the Claw and Mace more effective, doubling the damage the Cudgel inflicts when making a physical attack. To make sure the Claw and Mace are always available the ranged weapons are all mounted in the head and torso, freeing the arms for their close-combat duties.
Armament
The Cudgel's main weapons is its Claw and its Mace. These two weapons allows it to deliver devastating close-combat attacks, especially when amplified by its Triple Strength Myomer. This is backed up with five Magna Mk I Medium Lasers and four Magna Mk II Medium Lasers, two of which protect its backside. As an afterthought, a single Magna Mk 1 Small Laser was installed, which protects its backside as well.
Variants
- CDG-2B - This variant replaces the ten lasers with five ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-6 rack. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,714[3]
