Description
The Flea is a 'Mech that is extremely rare and was first seen in any large numbers within the Wolfs Dragoons mercenary unit. The Flea is generally used as a recon 'Mech because of its maximum speed of 97.2 kph which is augmented with a MASC system that allows the 'Mechs speed to be pushed up to 129.6 kph in short bursts. The Flea has also been used as an anti-personnel 'Mech when needed.
Armament
The Flea has a very light weapons payload that primarily focuses on defense as the Flea is a recon 'Mech. The primary weapons are two Martell Medium Pulse Lasers. These are backed up by an Olympian Flamer which works well for anti-personnel use and the 'Mech also has two Martell Small Lasers for point defense.
Variants
- FLE-4 - An early variant of the Flea the FLE-4 is built on a standard chassis and has a maximum speed of 97.2 kph. The 'Mech is armed with a Large Laser as its primary weapon. This allows it to attempt to keep any heavier 'Mechs at a standoff range if they attempt to engage. The 'Mech carries two Small Lasers for close in work as well as a Flamer for anti-infantry purposes. BV (1.0) = 360
- FLE-15 - The 15 Flea is another early variant of the 'Mech. It represents a midpoint between the 4 and 17 variants. The 'Mech is armed with two Medium Lasers as its primary weapons. These are backed up by two Small Lasers for close in work. The 'Mech also carries a very deadly anti-personnel arsenal with a pair of Machine Guns and a Flamer making it an excellent 'Mech for anti-infantry work. BV (1.0) = 352
