200 Beauceron 40 Tons IS Technology Level 1 Chassis: CMCStandard Medium Power Plant: Nissan 200 Cruising Speed: 53.75 km/h Maximum Speed: 86 km/h Jump Jets: Leviathan Lifters Jump Capacity: 150 meters Armor: Durallex Medium Armament: 2 Holly SRM 4 1 Holly SRM 6 1 Holly SRM 2 Manufacturer: CMCDesigns Primary Factory: Dieron Communications System: Sony MSF-21 Targeting and Tracking System: Winston Coral Snake Overview: The Beauceron, nick-named "The Watchdog," was originally designed and deployed by CMCDesigns (CMCD) in 3020 as a sentry and patrol 'Mech for its research and construction facilities. The battlemech's load out is designed for sudden, short-range combat with a wide damage dispersal pattern. Its speed and agility allow it to function as a medium-response-time interceptor. Lack of a long-range weapon and total ammunition supply dependency has kept interest in the Beauceron as a frontline 'Mech down. When one is spotted outside of a CMCD compound it is a sure sign that the owners aren't concerned about ammo supply and that an ammo dump is to be found in the area. Capabilities: Supported by a CMCD standard medium chassis and powered by a Nissan 200 engine, the Beauceron moves at 33.5mph with a cruising speed 53.6mph. The speed is complimented by 2.5 tons of Leviathan Lifters which carry the Beauceron 164 yards through the air. Its armament is strictly Holly short-range missiles racks. A SRM-4 graces the left arm and left hip, both fed from ammunition bins in the left torso. The right torso sports a heavier-hitting SRM-6 backed by and SRM-2 in the right arm. Both racks' munitions ride in the right torso and the SRM-2 bin typically holds volatile Inferno warheads. Defensively the Beauceron had seven tons of Durallex Medium armor, constituting 82% of maximum coverage. Deployment: Between 3020 and 3056 CMCD held the Beauceron exclusively for its own security forces use. However, they begin selling off the Beauceron and replacing it with a variety of new and experimental 'Mechs after their orbital Endosteel plant went on-line in February of 3056. Since then there have been reports of the Beauceron on security details along the Federated Suns / Free Worlds League border, the Periphery states and even in a mercenary unit pulling baby sitting duty. Battle History: Although official statistics and battle-ROMs are classified by CMCD, "alternate" sources indicated that the Beauceron has had an outstanding career, carrying the day against Kallon Industries and Coventry Defense Conglomerate corporate raids. Conflicting sources, however, are quick to point out that the alleged successes may be nothing more than a CMCD sales pitch and are in no way an indication of the 'Mechs ability in an organized military unit. Additionally, twenty-five years of sketchy battle reports seem to reveal a vulnerability with the 'Mech's second SRM-4 ammunition bin in the left torso, which has exploded 76.7 times more often than the other three bins. The Outworld Alliance has filed a suit against CMCD demanding reparations and refund for two Beauceron they used in defense of the capitol city on Ramora. While the Alliance did hold off the attack, the collateral damage being caused by the SRM's shrapnel and inferno missiles totaled in the billions of C-bills rendering the 'Mechs useless in the city's defense. Once the battered enemy forces were pushed beyond city limits and the Beaucerons' ammunition was reloaded it was again to play a role in mop-up opperations. CMCD, however, blames trigger happy, inexperienced pilots to their long standing "Watchdog's" poor preformance. Known Variants: CMCD has issued a field refit kit for the Beauceron. The kit removes the eleven single heat sinks and replaces them with ten double heat sinks. The seven tons of armor are replaced with 6.5 tons of ferro-fiber armor. And a Beagle active probe is added to the left torso. The refit is not yet publically available but has been applied to Beauceron units still currently in active service at several key and high security CMCD facilities. A redesign of the Beauceron that never saw production gave the mech an endosteel frame, ten double heat sinks, cellular ammunition storage in both torsos, a Beagle active probe in the left torso and added a rocket-launcher-10 to the right arm. 200 Beauceron 40 Tons Technology Base: - Inner Sphere - Level 1 Equipment Mass Internal Structure: 4 Engine: 200 8.5 Walking MP: 5 Running MP: 8 Jumping MP: 5 Heat Sinks: 11 1 Gyro: 2 Cockpit: 3 Armor Factor: 112 of 137 7

Different, would make a really good Solairs 7 mech.

Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything.
