==Description==
 
==Description==
Designed in [[Introduction Year::3058]] with its name derived from a merger of Japanese words for monster "o-bake" and "bakemono", the '''''O-Bakemono''''' is considered by many to be the ideal fire support [['Mech]]. The ''O-Bakemono'' weighs in at eighty tons and has a top speed of 64.8 km/h, which is considered a good ground speed for an assault 'Mech. The ''O-Bakemono'' carries fourteen tons of armor with [[CASE]] to protect the 'Mech from complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion. Overall, the ''O-Bakemono'' accomplishes its mission as a fire support 'Mech well and with the 'Mech's intended combat mission and long reach both the speed and armor protection of the ''O-Bakemono'' are considered more than adequate.<ref name=TRO:3058Up150f/> The ''O-Bakemono'' was tested on [[Towne]] by the [[17th Recon Regiment]].<ref>''Hearts of Chaos'', p. 303</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The primary weapons on the ''O-Bakemono'' are a pair of [[Shigunga]] [[Arrow IV]] Systems. The Arrow IVs have an effective range of up to three kilometers, allowing the ''O-Bakemono'' to stay at extreme ranges and rain missiles onto the battlefield while friendly units spot for it. For close range defense, the ''O-Bakemono'' has two [[Diverse Optics Type 20]] [[medium laser]]s and a [[ChisComp 32]] [[Small Laser]].<ref name=TRO:3058Up150f/>

==Variants==
 
==Variants==
*; OBK-M11 : This field modification is a result of the difficulty in repairing units during the bitter fighting of the [[Jihad]]. The M11 downgrades the ''O-Bakemono'''s engine to a standard [[Pitban 240]], reducing its top speed to 54 km/h. The artillery pieces, along with their expensive ammunition, are removed and replaced with a pair of cheap [[MRM 40]]s, each of which carries four tons of ammo. Four additional [[double heat sink]]s keep the 'Mech cool, while a [[C3 Slave Unit]] helps guide the hail of missiles the M11 can produce.<ref name=TRCIp172f /> BV (1.0) = 1,538<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 304</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,793<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 285</ref>
