Description
A Solaris VII BattleMech, the Morpheus is a heavily-armored combatant. The high ground speed allow the Morpheus to close quickly, while the heavy armor protects the 'Mech and pilot from enemy fire. The Morpheus is basically a larger version of the Tsunami medium arena fighter, and the engineers of Omnitech Industries learned many lessons from the Tsunami's disappointing appearance.[2] Strangely, one thing they didn't bring over to the Morpheus was Triple Strength Myomer.
Armament
Considering its size and armor protection, the Morpheus is somewhat under-armed for its role. The Morpheus's main weapons are its Claw and Spikes which are backed up by three Diverse Optics ER Medium Lasers and a single Poland Main Model C Magshot. The heavy armor allows the Morpheus to close with an opponent and inflict damage via the melee weapons.
Variants
- One variant relocates the Claw from the right hand to the left.
- One variant removes the Claw and Spikes, replaces the Heavy Ferro-Fibrous with Laser Reflective Armor, swaps the Magshot for a Laser AMS and adds an ER Medium Laser to each arm as well as adding three additional double heat sinks.
- A third variant replaces the jump jets with Underwater Maneuvering Units and replaces the head-mounted laser with a MechWarrior Aquatic Survival System (MASS).
