Description

The Kit Fox is a light Clan OmniMech with long-range combat as a primary focus, earning it the Inner Sphere codename of Uller, after the Norse god of archery.[1][5][6]

The Kit Fox was another light OmniMech designed by Clan Cloud Cobra, and was first produced in 2890 with the aid of new resources coming from the Tanite Worlds. Rather than emphasize speed, the Kit Fox emphasizes armor and firepower, complementary to the role of the Fire Moth. Clan Jade Falcon Khan Bret Malthus took note of the new design after a string of Cloud Cobra victories, and issued a batchall to the Cobras, a challenge the Jade Falcons only very narrowly won. Clan Snow Raven also produces the Kit Fox, which they acquired by trade. All other Clans field the Kit Fox as isorla, except Clan Blood Spirit, who was gifted the Kit Fox by the generous (or Machiavellian?) Ravens.[1][5][6]

Often fielded by Clan Jade Falcon, the Kit Fox has a surprising amount of firepower, with the ten built-in double heat sinks sometimes barely able to fully cool the 'Mech down. However, the Kit Fox is somewhat slow for its weight class, only capable of a top speed of 97.2 km/h, provided by a lightweight 180 XL Fusion Engine. Available tonnage is further increased by the use of a lightweight Endo Steel chassis. Four tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor provide the Kit Fox with ample protection.[1][5][6]

Weapons and Equipment

In its primary configuration, the Kit Fox mounts an ER Large Laser and Small Pulse Laser on the left arm as its primary source of firepower. These are supplemented by an LB 5-X Autocannon for tactical flexibility and a Streak SRM-4 rack for close range combat.[1][5][6]

Alternate Configurations

  • Alternate Configuration A 
    The A configuration of the Kit Fox uses a Gauss Rifle as its primary long-range weapon. Two ER Medium Lasers provide medium and short-range firepower. BV (1.0) = 1,218[2], BV (2.0) = 1,310[1][7]
  • Alternate Configuration B 
    The B configuration of the Kit Fox boasts a rapid-fire Ultra Autocannon-10 as its primary weapon, startling considering the 'Mech's tonnage. An ER Medium Laser, ER Small Laser, and an SRM-6 rack allow the Kit Fox B to finish off anything that manages to close ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,016[2], BV (2.0) = 1,088[1], 1,087[8]
  • Alternate Configuration C 
    An attempt to employ the Kit Fox in a scouting role, the C configuration has but one ER Large Laser for long-range combat. Instead, the Kit Fox C mounts numerous light weapons, equipped with a Small Pulse Laser and dual Machine Guns. Two A-Pods provide excellent protection against infantry. While the Kit Fox C still has a somewhat slow speed, it is far more durable than other scout 'Mechs, and carries an array of three Anti-Missile Systems and an ECM Suite to further increase its survivability. An Active Probe allows for detection of hidden units while scouting. BV (1.0) = 1,195[2], BV (2.0) = 1,150[1], 1,147[9]
  • Alternate Configuration D 
    The Kit Fox D is configured for indirect fire support, mounting dual LRM-15 racks as well as an LRM-5. A Narc Missile Beacon is also carried, which may be exploited by the Kit Fox D itself, as the targeting systems of Clan LRMs lack a minimum range; this literally allows the Kit Fox D to run up to an enemy and mark them for increased accuracy, and then fall back, firing the entire time. BV (1.0) = 1,070[2], BV (2.0) = 1,142[1][10]
  • Alternate Configuration E 
    The Kit Fox E sports the new Advanced Tactical Missile system, mounting an ATM-3 rack, which can fire ammunition specifically designed for maximum effectiveness at a certain range, causing more damage at shorter ranges. Six added Jump Jets, allowing for a jump capacity of 180 meters, provide the Kit Fox E with additional mobility, allowing it to better exploit the ATM system, and an ER PPC provides the high firepower common to the 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,520[2][11], BV (2.0) = 1,418[1], 1,415[12]
  • Alternate Configuration F 
    The F configuration of the Kit Fox is armed with a powerful Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle 20 which is capable of delivering large amounts of damage, especially for such a small 'Mech. This is backed up by two Medium Pulse Lasers for close combat. BV (2.0) = 1,219[1][13]
  • Alternate Configuration G 
    The G configuration is armed with a pair of LRM-10 missile launchers. An ER Large Laser and ER Medium Laser mounted in the right arm provide additional firepower. The left arm carries an ECM Suite to disrupt enemy electronics. BV (2.0) = 1,368[14]
  • Alternate Configuration H 
    The Kit Fox H sports the new Heavy Laser system for doubled close-range firepower, mounting dual Heavy Medium Lasers. A Gauss Rifle is used as the primary high-damage, long-range weapon. BV (1.0) = 1,122[2], BV (2.0) = 1,214[1][15]
  • Alternate Configuration I 
    The I configuration is equipped with an ER PPC, ER Small Laser, and ER Medium Laser, all of which are tied into a Targeting Computer. The arms, legs, and front of the side torsos are protected by Modular Armor. The I configuration is equipped with an engine Supercharger, which allows it to reach speeds of slightly more than 100km/h for brief instances. BV (2.0) = 1,936[16]
  • Alternate Configuration J 
    The J configuration has two ER Medium Lasers in the left arm, while the right arm carries an Ultra AC/5 and a Streak SRM-2. The autocannon has two tons of ammunition and the Streak has a single ton of ammunition. Two Jump Jets are in each leg and a single jump jet is installed in each side torso to provide a jump radius of one hundred eighty meters. BV (2.0) = 1,178[17]
  • Alternate Configuration K 
    A heavy striker configuration carries an LB 10-X in the right arm and an Improved Heavy Large Laser in the right arm. Two tons of LB-X ammunition is carried as well. BV (2.0) = 1,109[17]
  • Alternate Configuration R 
    This configuration can reach 96km/h without any enhancements. It is equipped with a Rotary AC/5 and Streak SRM-6. BV (2.0) = 1,232[18]
  • Alternate Configuration T 
    Often used for scouting, this configuration carries an Active Probe in the right torso. To provide additional speed, it carries an engine Supercharger. The left arm has an ER Large Laser and ER Medium Laser. The right arm carries a ProtoMech AC/4 with two tons of ammunition, supported by a Streak SRM-4 and a ton of ammo. BV (2.0) = 1,397[17]
  • Alternate Configuration U 
    Used in Jihad-era underwater conflicts, this configuration carries a quartet of LRT-5 launchers in each arm and a single ER Medium Laser in the torso. Six experimental UMUs allow the Kit Fox U to match its cruising ground speed underwater. BV (2.0) = 1,434[20]
  • Alternate Configuration V 
    This configuration provides fast artillery support to Clan forces via an Arrow IV system. Three tons of ammunition are also carried. For close in defense the left arm has two ER Small Lasers. BV (2.0) = 974[17]
  • Alternate Configuration W 
    Intended for medium to close range combat, the W configuration carries a simple yet effective arsenal. Its primary weapons are a pair of Large Pulse Lasers which are backed up by two Medium Pulse Lasers for close range combat. BV (2.0) = 1,431[1][21]

These variants were introduced in various apocryphal sources, and thus far have not appeared in any canonical media.

From MechWarrior Online:

  • KFX-PR Purifier 
    Reportedly piloted by Brett Andrews, the Kit Fox Hero 'Mech, the Purifier mounts an ER Large Laser and ER Small Laser in each side torso, supported by a machine gun carried in each arm. Carrying two and half tons of machine gun rounds, four extra Double Heat Sinks maintain a high rate of laser fire.[1]
