Description
The Harvest Ant is a Industrial Quad 'Mech designed for farmers/colonists during the golden era period of Star League. It was built by Kong Interstellar of Connaught, where the Industrial 'Mech became success for the company. Production continued until the daunting years of the Succession Wars, where Kong's manfacturing ablities were wrecked. The many of the design fell into disrepair, with many of them being stripped for parts for BattleMechs.
The design was returned to production in 3058 when new factory was constructed. During the brief Second Star League period, sales begun to rise. However, 3060s had flux of Civil Wars, that lower the demand for the 'Mech.
Capacities
The Havest Ant a simple design used collect bulk crops (example: grains, corn) using two Combines mounted front of its front leg actuators. The 'Mech was design in mind for colony uses, with intentional inclusion of flexable Leenax engine. The engine allows the design to run on any combustional fuel to be found in the early stages of life on a colony world. It is noted for being easy control design, specially less experience drivers/pilots. Its quad leg design allows the Ant to handle difficult terrian.
The design is protected by 2 tons of commerical Star Slab armor, which has been shown to be too weak for combat situations.
Cargo
The 'Mech has a 2 ton cargo capacity.
Variants
None
