Description
There is nothing pretty about the Inner Sphere Thanatos, all aesthetics were left on the design table. Originally designed as an OmniMech, budget concerns forced StarCorp engineers to revamp the Thanatos as a standard BattleMech design. This BattleMech was designed to quickly get to the heart of a battlefield with enough firepower to crush anything in its path. With an emphasis on ballistic weaponry and speed the Thanatos was designed as a premier infiltrator and smash and run specialist. Jump Jets allow this bruiser to get to anywhere in any battlefield. The Thanatos’s secret weapon is its 360° torso twist range. Many new pilots become disoriented with 360° Mechs and avoid them. The key to being a great Thanatos pilot is mastering this. The twist speed is also exceptional at 70°/sec it is 25°/sec faster then its main Clan competition the Thor.
Armament
The Thanatos is well equipped with a Shigunga MRM-20 Launcher in its right arm, a Defiance Model 6 ER Large Laser and a RAMTech 800P Medium Pulse Laser in its left arm, and two Defiance Model XII ER Medium Lasers in its torso.
