==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Delphyne''''' was developed by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] and [[Clan Fire Mandrill]]. Basing the design on the lessons learned from producing the ''[[Minotaur]]'', the ''Delphyne'' is one of the most effective heavy ProtoMechs. Able to keep up with heavy and assault units, the ''Delphyne'' uses a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] to provide accurate fire. To protect the ProtoMech, more than two tons of armor were added to the design. It can even survive a hit to the torso from a [[Gauss rifle]] or [[ER PPC]]. To provide additional mobility, the ''Delphyne'' mounts jump jets that allow it to cover 150 meters at a time. These features are particularly useful when negotiating tight terrain.<ref name=TRO:3075/>

Raids by [[Clan Coyote]] on [[Foster]] captured a few dozen ''Delphynes'', many of which have been modified and were sent out for field testing. It is possible that Clan Coyote will start production of their own versions.<ref name=TRO:3075/>

Raids by Clan Coyote on [[Foster]] netted them a few dozen Delphynes, many of which have been modified and were sent out for field-testing. Should they do well for the Coyotes, they will no doubt look into production of their own machines.<ref name=TRO:3075/>
  
[[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] also used them, at least for some time.<ref>''Dying Breed'' in ''Shrapnel'', issue #12, p. 92-93</ref>

Carrying a 'Mech sized [[Medium Pulse Laser]], the ''Delphyne'' packs a significant punch when used against light and medium 'Mechs, and a Point of them can threaten a heavy 'Mech.<ref name=TRO:3075/>

*;Delphyne 2 : This version removes some armor and the Medium Pulse Laser to carry a pair of [[ER Micro Laser]]s in the arms and twin [[SRM]]-3 launchers in the torso. Each of the SRM racks has ten reloads available, so the ''Delphyne 2'' can stay in the fight longer than most opponents expect<ref name=TRO:3075/>.

*;Delphyne 3 : This version is used by Clan Coyote. The Coyote techs remove the Medium Pulse Laser and replace it with an [[ER Medium Laser]] and a [[Micro Pulse Laser]] mounted in the arm.
