==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Kabuto''''' is an impressive [[BattleMech#Light|light]] '[[Mech]] that combines speed, armor, and firepower to make an excellent recon and strike [[BattleMech]]. To accomplish this, the ''Kabuto'' uses an advanced [[Chariot Type Ia]] [[endo steel]] chassis and is powered by a [[Leenex 140 XL]] [[extralight engine]] that gives the ''Kabuto'' an impressive ground speed of 118.8 km/h while also saving weight on the 'Mech for armor and weapons. While the ''Kabuto'' is already a hard target to hit because of its ground speed, the 'Mech has four and a half tons of [[Starshield A]] armor, giving the ''Kabuto'' the maximum amount of armor that a 'Mech of its size can carry.<ref name=TRO:3060p74f/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The ''Kabuto'' has a very straightforward and basic arsenal. For effective and powerful close range firepower it utilizes two [[Guided Technologies 2nd Gen]] [[Streak SRM-4]] launchers. The simplicity of its arsenal is one of the keys to the design, allowing for easy resupply and repair as the 'Mech has only one weapons system.<ref name=TRO:3060p74f/>

==Variants==
*; KBO-7B : This [[Jihad]] era variant has all missile weaponry removed; the launchers were replaced by pair of [[light PPC]]s, one in each side torso. An additional [[single heat sink]] is added in the head to improve the 'Mech's heat curve.

There are no known variants of the ''Kabuto''.
 
 
==Design Quirks==
 
The ''Kabuto'' has the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 92 BattleMech Quirk Table - Kabuto Entry.</ref>
 
* [[Extended Torso Twist]]
 
 
 
==Related BattleMechs==
 
* ''[[Hitman]]'' - The ''Kabuto''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s chassis was developed by modifying the successful ''Hitman'' chassis, the [[Hitman|Chariot Type I]], rather than start from scratch. The designers made this decision in an attempt to repeat the predecessor's success, which was critically important because of the paucity of light BattleMechs deployed by the DCMS.<ref name=TRO:3060p74f/>
