==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Tiburon''''' is a name that harkens back to when [[Clan Sea Fox]] was known as [[Clan Diamond Shark]]. The ''Tiburon'' is named after a large Terran shark found in the Caribbean. The design was created as the Clan transformed itself from a decimated-yet-centralized military force to a nomadic, spacefaring society of warrior-merchants. Unlike most other [['Mech]]s built by the Sea Foxes, the ''Tiburon'' was, as of 3145, not for sale, used exclusively by its own warriors.<ref name=TRO:3145M/>

The '''''Tiburon''''' is a name that hearkens back to when [[Clan Sea Fox]] was known as [[Clan Diamond Shark]]. The ''Tiburon'' is named after a large Terran shark found in the Caribbean. The design was created as the Clan transformed itself from a decimated-yet-centralized military force to a nomadic, space-faring society of warrior-merchants. The ''Tiburon'' is just as lethal as its namesake. Unlike most other [['Mech]]s built by the Sea Foxes, the ''Tiburon'' is not for sale and is used exclusively by its own warriors.

The ''Tiburon'' is distinguished by its retractable and shielded weapons payload, which is only deployed when the ''Tiburon'' engages its target, giving it a surprisingly non-agressive appearance.

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
Fast and well-armed for its weight, the ''Tiburon'' can be used in scout and attack formations alike. Mounting a pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in each arm, and backed up by two [[SRM-2]] launchers and twin [[ER small laser]]s, the ''Tiburon'' can quickly close with an enemy and inflict damage before moving out of range again. Making matters worse for its opponents, the ''Tiburon'' carries a [[Watchdog CEWS]] to not only interfere with their electronics, but also assist in finding them from farther distances, and the lasers are all connected to an accurate [[targeting computer]].<ref name=TRO:3145M/>

==Notes==
 
* The ''Tiburon'' was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its ''Falcon's Prey'' expansion set. It was used for only the game's unique 'mechs, it was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game.
