Description
Favored by Clan Jade Falcon the Hellbringer is a powerful offensive OmniMech that can find itself in a weak position when used in a defensive stance. The Hellbringer earned the Inner Sphere code name of Loki for what one AFFC officer declared was an "utterly mad configuration" The Hellbringer is built on a standard chassis and is powered by a 325 XL engine which propels the 'Mech to a top speed of 86.4 km/h. On its base chassis the Hellbringer carries thirteen double heat sinks giving it excellent heat dissipation capabilities with the ability to add more if needed in its various configurations. The weakest area of the design is an unimpressive eight tons of standard armor because the Hellbringer relies on its capability to take down an enemy quickly to deny them the opportunity to breach its light armor.
Armament
Though it seems eclectic at first if examined as a whole and compared to the 'Mechs that left with Kerensky the Hellbringer, in its primary configuration, resembles an advanced version of the classic Warhammer. The primary weapons are a pair of ER PPCs providing excellent long range damage capabilities. For close combat the Hellbringer has three ER Medium Lasers and a hihgly accurate Streak SRM-6 launcher. Finally to defend against infantry the Hellbringer has four Anti-Personnel Pods and two Machine Guns. The ER PPCs and ER Medium Lasers ate linked to an advanced Targeting Computer for increased accuracy. The primary configuration is also outfitted with an ECM Suite for protection against enemy electronic warfare systems and carries an Active Probe for protection against ambushes by allowing it to detect hidden enemy units. Adding to this excellent protection the Hellbringer Prime also carries an Anti-Missile System for increased protection from missile attacks.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A - The A configuration of the Hellbringer would seem to be more random then the primary configuration. As its primary long range weapons this configuration has two ER Large Lasers and an Ultra Autocannon/5 for long range direct fire combat. These are backed up for long ranges with a single LRM-20 launcher. The LRM launcher is supported by a Narc Missile Beacon that can mark an enemy unit with a tracking beacon fir increased missile accuracy. For close combat the Hellbringer A has a single ER Medium Laser and two Machine Guns. This configuration also has an Active Probe for protection from ambushes by hidden units. BV (1.0) = 1,651
- Alt. Config. B - Capable of engaging at long and short ranges the B configuration of the Hellbringer carries a potent Gauss Rifle backed up by an LB 5-X Autocannon which is capable of firing solid rounds to support the Gauss Rifle in doing raw damage or can fire cluster rounds that can ferret their way into breaches already opened by the Gauss Rifle to cause internal damage. For close range combat the Hellbringer B has an ER Small Laser backed up by two SRM-6 launchers linked to an Artemis IV fire control system for increased missile accuraccy. BV (1.0) = 1,454
- Alt. Config. C - Configured as a powerful close combat 'Mech the Hellbringer C has a single ER Large Laser as its only dedicated long range weapon. The Hellbringer C also has an ATM-6 launcher that can fire long, medium, and short range missiles that become more destructive in their shorter range modes. Also for close combat the Hellbringer C has two ER Medium Lasers, an ER Small Laser, and finally as its knockout weapon a LB 20-X Autocannon that can fire massively destructive solid rounds and also fire rounds that act as a 'Mech sized shotgun shell capable of seeking out weak points in an enemy's armor. BV (1.0) = 1,698
- Alt. Config. H - The H configuration of the Hellbringer is armed with an ER PPC and an Ultra Autocannon/5 for long range direct fire capabilities.
