Description
A Solaris VII BattleMech, the Morpheus is a heavily-armored combatant. The high ground speed allow the Morpheus to close quickly, while the heavy armor protects the 'Mech and pilot from enemy fire. The Morpheus is basically a larger version of the Tsunami medium arena fighter, and the engineers of Omnitech Industries learned many lessons from the Tsunami's disappointing appearance.[3] Strangely, one thing they didn't bring over to the Morpheus was Triple Strength Myomer.
Weapons and Equipment
Considering its size and armor protection, the Morpheus is somewhat under-armed for its role. The Morpheus's main weapons are its Claw and Spikes which are backed up by three Diverse Optics ER Medium Lasers and a single Poland Main Model C Magshot. The heavy armor allows the Morpheus to close with an opponent and inflict damage via the melee weapons.
Variants
- MR-P1
- The original Morpheus carried a Medium Laser, pair of Medium Pulse Lasers, and an Anti-Missile System. It also carried a Beagle Active Probe and Guardian ECM Suite.[4] BV (2.0) = 1,340[5]
- MRP-3
- Fielded by Steven Hendry (in his personal 'Mech, L'Morte II) in his duel against Kelley Metz in 3067, this variant seems to be functionally identical to the MR-3S, featuring the same weapons and equipment.[6]
- MRP-3T
- This variant removes the Claw and Spikes, replaces the Heavy Ferro-Fibrous with Reactive Armor, swaps the Magshot for a Laser AMS and adds an ER Medium Laser to each arm as well as adding three additional double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,925[7]
- MRP-3W
- This third variant replaces the jump jets with Underwater Maneuvering Units and replaces the head-mounted laser with a MechWarrior Aquatic Survival System (MASS). BV (2.0) = 1,306[8]
