Description
The Annihilator is a 'Mech that appeared with the Wolf's Dragoons in 3009. The design appears to be completely new as the design was never built before or after the fall of the Star League, though since this time it has been learned that the Annihilator is built on Arc-Royal due to the relationship that Wolf's Dragoons has with the Kell Hounds and Clan Wolf-in-Exile. The 'Mech is a 100 ton monster that has a maximum speed of 32.4 km/h. The Annihilator is by no means intended to use speed to outmaneuver an enemy, instead depending on its twelve and a half tons of armor to weather any fire that is directed at the 'Mech.
Armament
The Annihilator is armed with a arsenal that is built to instill fear in an enemy as much as damage them. The 'Mech is armed with four Mydron Excel LB-X Autocannon/10s as its primary weapons. These can all fire either standard rounds or cluster rounds which act like 'Mech sized shotguns spreading damage out all over an enemy 'Mech. The 'Mech is also armed with four Magna 400P Medium Pulse Lasers, which allow the Annihilator to decimate any target which is able to make it through the devastating hail of fire and into close range combat.
Variants
- ANH-1A - The actual variant that showed up with Wolf's Dragoons, the 1A is armed with four Autocannon/10s and four Medium Lasers. While less accurate and unable to use cluster rounds, the 1A is still a highly destructive and dangerous 'Mech that no MechWarrior looks forward to engaging. BV (1.0) = 1,151, BV (2.0) = 1,434
- ANH-3A - This upgrade makes use of double heat sinks and uses the tonnage saved to max out the armor on the Annihilator. Offensively, four ER Medium Lasers and eight Light Autocannon/2s are incredibly accurate thanks to the inclusion of a Targeting Computer. Ample autocannon ammunition allows flexibility is choosing special munitions, making this 'Mech very effective against vehicles. BV (2.0) = ???
- ANH-4A - More closely in line with the traditional Annihilator, the 4A carries two LB-X Autocannon/10s from the 2A, but removes two to make room for a pair of Heavy PPCs. Two Light Autocannon/2s from the 3A can provide defense against conventional troops. A Compact Gyro makes enough room for fifteen double heat sinks that keep heat from being completely out of control. BV (2.0) = ???
- Annihilator C - A variant of the Annihilator that is built using only Clan technology and used exclusively by the Wolf's Dragoons, the Annihilator C increases its maximum speed to 54 kph. The 'Mech is armed with four Ultra Autocannon/10s and four ER Medium Lasers. The Ultra Autocannon/10s allow the 'Mech to fire at twice the rate as a normal autocannon, allowing it to put as much fire out as if it was carrying eight regular autocannons. BV (1.0) = 2,005, BV (2.0) = 2,524
