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]].
