Description

The Sunder is the product of what was learned from captured Loki and Thor OmniMechs. The Sunder weighs ninety tons and uses a Hermes 360 XL Engine to save weight while giving the 'Mech a top speed of 65 km/h which is a respectable speed for a ninety ton 'Mech. The Sunder carries seventeen and a half tons of armor protection and has fifteen double heat sinks to handle the assault 'Mechs heavy heat load. The Sunder carries a chaotic and powerful mix of weapons and equipment in all of its configurations that have proven themselves time and again against both Clan and Inner Sphere adversaries.

Armament

In its primary configuration the Sunder carries an impressive weapons array. The 'Mech carries two Large Lasers for its primary long-range weapons. For short-range engagements the Sunder has an Autocannon/20 for the bulk of its firepower. This is supported by two Medium Lasers and a trio of SRM-4 launchers making the Sunder in its primary configuration most lethal at short ranges.

Alternate Configurations

• Alt. Config A - The Sunder A is armed primarily for long-range engagements. The primary weapon is an ER PPC supported by a Gauss Rifle for direct fire engagements. The Sunder A carries three LRM-5 Launchers allowing it to attack an enemy with indirect missile fire in support of allied units. For close range defense the Sunder A has two Medium Pulse Lasers which provide enough firepower to defend itself from lighter units at close ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,722

• Alt. Config B - Configured to command a large C3 unit the Sunder B has two C3 master computers. These allow the Sunder B to coordinate up to four lances of 'Mechs at one time. The 'Mech is also intended to stay at long ranges with an arsenal of a LRM-20 launcher and a LRM-10 launcher to bombard an enemy from long range. For short range defense the 'Mech has two Medium Pulse Lasers and a Medium Laser. This configuration of the Sunder is vulnerable to rushing attacks due to its reliance on long range missiles. BV (1.0) = 1,362

• Alt. Config C - Intended to work as a close combat 'Mech in a C3 lance the Sunder C has a C3 Slave unit to allow it to coordinate itself with a C3 lance. The 'Mech has a MRM-30 and a MRM-40 which can overwhelm an enemy in missile fire. For close ranges the Sunder C has a pair of Streak SRM-4 launchers. The primary drawback of this configuration is its high dependence of ammunition which can cause the Sunder C to withdraw from the field before the battle is finished. BV (1.0) = 1,362

• Alt. Config D - The Sunder D is configured to engage an enemy at both long and short ranges. In order to do this the 'Mech carries a powerful yet basic weapons payload. For long range combat the Sunder D has two PPCs that allow it to strike an enemy at long range. For close ranges the Sunder D has an LB-X Autocannon/20. The Sunder D is most effective where the weapons ranges overlap and allow the 'Mech to bring all three weapons to bear on its enemy. BV (1.0) = 1,782
