Description

The Tempest is a low-end, heavy 'Mech that is built to pack a powerful punch. To make the most of the Tempests available weight, the 'Mech is built on a Technicron Type H Endo Steel chassis and is propelled to its top speed of 64.8 kph by a Magna 260 XL Engine. These choices in materials save enough weight for the Tempest to carry a devastating arsenal that is powerful at long and short ranges. The 'Mech's mobility has also been enhanced with four Chilton 465 jump jets that make the Tempest capable of jumping up to one hundred and twenty meters. Finally, the Tempest carries twelve tons of armor which is a respectable amount of protection for a 65 ton 'Mech.

Weapons and Equipment

For long range firepower, the Tempest carries a Zeus Slingshot Gauss Rifle, which provides a devastating long-range punch. For medium to long ranges, the 'Mech has a Sutel Precision Line Large Pulse Laser. When the 'Mech closes to short ranges, it brings its three Diplan M3 Medium Lasers and its Irian Weapons Works 60mm SRM-6 to bear on an enemy.

Variants

  • TMP-3MA 
    This version simply removes the Gauss Rifle and replaces it with an AC/10, two tons of ammunition, and an extra Heat Sink. BV (2.0) = 1,425[4]
  • Tempest
    Produced by the Wolf Empire this is basically a standard TMP-3M with Clan-spec weaponry.[6]
