Description
The Blade is a light-weight scouting and raiding 'Mech that uses it's fearsome speed to strikelarger 'Mechs then escape often before their opponents can track them. Well suited for pack-hunter and swarm tactics, the Blade works well with other quick units such as the Locust and Dasher.
Armament
the Blade is built around a Mydron model RC Rotary Autocannon/5 as its primary weapon. This is supported by a Bright Bloom [[ER Medium Laser] and a Exostar Elite ER Small Laser making the Blade an excellent close quarters 'Mech.
Variants
- XX321-021 - This Blade was built for the Republic of the Sphere in the 3090s and replaces the Rotary Autocannon/5 with a LB 10-X AC which allows it to fire both solid and cluster rounds and also giving the 'Mech a range advantage over the standard model.
- FS156-81C - This variant of the Blade incorporates a standard Autocannon/10 in place of the Rotary Autocannon/5. The 'mech also carries 2 ER Medium Lasers and removes the single ER Small Laser. This modification to the 'mech allows it to use specialty ammunition with its autocannon such as precision and armor peircing ammunition that the standard Blade cannot take advantage of. To make this modification work though the 'Mech has had its top speed reduced to 97.2 km/h.
