Description
The CPK-6 Copper is the latest in a line of IndustrialMechs by Coventry Metal Works which are designed exclusively for security duty. It was designed using many of the components from the Commando BattleMech. By lacking many BattleMech features and sharing parts, the Copper is half the cost a Commando.[1]
