Description
The 30-ton Devil was created by Clan Snow Raven as a derivative design of Clan Fire Mandrill's 20-ton Howler, after acquiring one as isorla. Though it weighs fifty percent more than its progenitor, its focus on high speed and accurate fire make it a popular design. Use of an Endo Steel structure and five tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor allowed for both speed and firepower. It was a popular sniper for most of the Clans' Golden Century, but was eventually replaced by more flexible OmniMechs. After Clan Snow Raven merged with the Outworlds Alliance, they put the design back into production. The higher weight allows the Devil to carry nearly twice the armor of the design that inspired it.[1]
The Inner Sphere first observed the Devil in the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone during the initial Clan Invasion through ROM operatives. They reported the 'Mech as slightly underweight at 28 tons, failing to mention the targeting computer (and apparently switching numbers for torso armor allocation). They also gave the Devil the alphanumerical code TZ-1, though Clan 'Mechs do not normally have such alphanumerical codes.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
The Devil is a dedicated fast sniper. The 300 rated XL Engine allows it to cruise at over 100km/h, while running at 150km/h. The single ER PPC is tied into an advanced Targeting Computer allowing skilled pilots to dash in, hit a target, then get out again before the enemy can respond. Five tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor provide protection.
Variants
No variants are known to exist, but the Devil is based on the Howler (Baboon) and in turn served as inspiration for the Howler 3 "Devil" variant of the Howler, which was a modification Clan Snow Raven carried out on captured Howler 2s from Clan Steel Viper since 3066.[1]
Design Quirks
The Devil has the following Design Quirks:
Notes
- The TZ-1 Devil was introduced in the 1993 Update Flyer, together with the Roadrunner. In typical FASA fashion these were thinly veiled references to another intellectual property (the Looney Tunes characters of The Road Runner and The Tasmanian Devil). This context also serves to explain the somewhat curious alphanumerical code of TZ-1.
