Description
The Predator is a second-line BattleMech that is the product of a cooperative venture between the various Clan Fire Mandrill Kindraa. It is protected by eleven and a half tons of armor and can move at a respectable speed for a heavy 'Mech. Useful as either a medium-range duelist or a close-up skirmisher, it can use its autocannons to deal a strong punch with, then follow up with cluster rounds that exploit holes in an enemy 'Mech's armor.
Armament
Roughly a third of the Predator's mass is consumed by the twin Faraday LB 10-X Autocannon. These have ample ammunition for most Clan Trials and usually stock both cluster and slug rounds. They are supported by a pair of Series 2FM ER Medium Lasers and paired Series 1 ER Small Lasers. Not only can the lasers keep the symmetrical design in the fight after its autocannon ammunition runs out, they do not create a burden on the 'Mech's ability to control heat under normal circumstances. Ten double heat sinks is all the Predator needs to keep its heat in check.
Variants
There are no known variants of the Predator.
