==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Cecerops''''' ProtoMech was designed and built by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] using materials acquired from [[Clan Snow Raven]]. Unlike first generation ProtoMechs like the ''[[Erinyes (ProtoMech)|Erinyes]]'', the ''Cecerops'' has high speed and decent weaponry. The high speed allows the ''Cecerops'' to outrun most 'Mechs and [[Elemental]]s, while keeping pace with fast hovercraft like the ''[[Shamash]]''. Though not as heavily armored as some other ProtoMechs, the design's high speed prevents most opponents from getting a target lock.<ref name=TRO3075-152>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 152: "Cecerops Profile"</ref>

The ''Cecerops'' is armed with a single [[ER Micro Laser]]. Combined with the ''Cecerops''' high speed, the ammunition independent weapon makes the Proto an excellent raider and harasser.<ref name=TRO3075-152/>

*;Cecerops 4 : Exchanging the ER Micro Laser for a [[Micro Pulse Laser]], this variant keeps the speed of the baseline ''Cecerops'' by reducing the armor protection. Unlike the previous two variants, this version is not used by the Blood Spirits.<ref name=TRO3075-152/> BV (2.0) = 82<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 288</ref>

*;Cecerops 5 : Introduced by the [[Raven Alliance]] for pilots on the edge of burnout, this ''Cecerops'' variant replaces the standard engine with a [[Magnetic Clamp]] system. Armed with an [[AP Gauss Rifle]] this ''Cecerops'' is designed to support [[OmniMech]]s and possibly provide them with more protection.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 224</ref>
