==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Rabid Coyote''''' was designed by [[Scientist Caste|scientists]] from [[Clan Coyote]] to be a complement to other, slower [[BattleMech]]s. First deployed in [[3066]], the 'Mech was deployed in an effort to stave off the slow decline of the previous decades that had befallen the [[Clan]] that created the [[OmniMech]]. With an eye towards cost, the ''Rabid Coyote'' employs many standard technologies, save for the [[endo steel]] structure and [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. Curiously, as the 'Mech is intended to be a bodyguard for larger 'Mechs like the ''[[Savage Coyote]]'', front-line warriors spurn the design because they do not wish to be seen merely as "support".<ref name=TRO3067/>

First deployed in [[3066]], the 'Mech was deployed in an effort to stave off the slow decline of the previous decades that had befallen the [[Clan]] that created the [[OmniMech]]. With an eye towards cost, the ''Rabid Coyote'' employs a standard [[fusion engine]], though it does make use of an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure and eight and a half tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor.

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
As it was built with cost savings in mind, the ''Rabid Coyote'' uses a 275-rated [[fusion engine]], carried in a [[Medium Series MVV]] [[endo steel]] skeleton sheathed in eight and a half tons of [[Compound CL20]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. An [[ECM suite]] helps provide protection against enemy electronics for both the 'Mech and its charges.
+
The close support design uses the largest of Clan Coyote's [[Advanced Tactical Missile]] Launcher, the Remer Series Alpha Deuce [[ATM 12]]. It has space for four tons of ammunition, allowing for up to three minutes of sustained firing. In addition to the devastation these missiles can cause, the ''Rabid Coyote'' also mounts two Kolibri Series [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s in each arm.<ref name=TRO3067/>

==Variants==
*; Rabid Coyote 2 : Introduced in [[3071]], this version of the 'Mech is fitted with an [[XL engine]], freeing a great deal of weight. The standard weapons have been removed and instead the ''Rabid Coyote'' 2 has a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s sited in each arm, supported by a trio of [[ATM-3]] launchers in each side torso drawing from a combined six tons of reloads. An [[ECM suite]] and [[active probe]] both disrupt enemy networks and find enemy units. Finally engineers were able to add another [[double heat sink]]. The [[ferro-fibrous]] armor of the original has been replaced with [[standard armor]], but overall protection is actually increased due to other weight savings.

There are no known variants of the ''Rabid Coyote''.
