==Description==
 
==Description==
A [[Solaris VII]] BattleMech, the '''''Prowler''''' was designed specifically for [[Zellbrigen Stables]]. By using Clan weaponry, the designers of [[Innovative Design Concepts]] hoped to land an exclusive contract to provide Zellbrigen with equipment.

A [[Solaris VII]] BattleMech.
 
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
The ''Prowler'' is built on an expensive, fragile, but very lightweight [[Crucis-AE]] [[composite structure]], carrying a similarly expensive [[Core Tek 385 XXL]] engine. These two lightweight technologies allow the 'Mech to move up to 118.8 km/h, and with the installed [[supercharger]] active, up to 151.2 km/h; this speed is further enhanced by seven [[Northrup 12000]] [[jump jet]]s, allowing the 'Mech to leap up to 210 meters. These valuable components are protected by nine and a half tons of bulky [[Durallex Super Medium]] [[heavy ferro-fibrous]] armor. To free up space for these components the ''Prowler'' utilizes a [[small cockpit]] and [[compact gyro]].
 
  
The ''Prowler''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main armament is its [[Series PPS-XX]] [[ER large pulse laser]]. This is backed up by two [[Series PPS-XIX]] [[ER medium pulse laser]]s and two [[Series PPS-XVI]] [[ER small pulse laser]]s. All of them are [[Clan]] technology.

==Variants==
*; PWR-1X1 : This variant features standard [[extended range laser]]s instead of the [[extended range pulse laser]]s, and [[SRM-4]] racks entirely replaced the [[ER small laser]]s. The [[Supercharger|supercharged engine]] was replaced by a standard engine, and a [[targeting computer]] was installed. It also has five more [[double heat sink]]s than the original model. BV (2.0) = 1,990<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 254</ref>
