Description[edit]
The Jade Falcons introduced the Talons in 3072.[1] Apparently inspired by their totem, Falcon Techs created a series of strengthened claw-like additions that could be placed on a 'Mech's legs. When kicking an enemy or performing a Death from Above attack, the Talons inflict more damage. These weapons have only been seen on a few experimental units.
The fact that the Falcons created a melee weapon is particularly puzzling given that, while not a violation of zellbrigen, physical attacks are looked on with extreme distaste by the Clans.[2]
