==Description==
 
==Description==
Although suited more for space combat, since the stubby wings do not provide the maneuverability needed for atmospheric combat,  the '''''Transgressor''''' is still highly considered among [[House Liao]] air lances. Compact with heavy armor, the ''Transgressor'' can stay in the fight long after other units have to withdraw due to damage. The energy weapon reliance does make it hard to control heat buildup, and pilots typically firing the laser batteries in salvos to give the heat sinks time to cool the craft.

The ''Transgressor'' is an energy weapon-only design in its original variation. One [[Selitex Radionic]] [[large laser]] and one [[Kajuka Type 2 "Bright Blossom"]] [[medium laser]] are mounted in the nose, with this pattern copied on each wing; the final medium laser is rear-mounted.

*; TR-14 : Removing the three [[large laser]]s and one ton of armor, the TR-14 replaces them with an [[AC/20]] and 10 rounds of ammunition. While stopping heat buildup problems, this leaves the ''Transgressor'' lightly armed after the limited autocannon ammo has been expended.  BV (1.0) = 1,185<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 279</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 141</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,179

* In German products, the unit's proper name was translated to '''''Missetäter'''''. The model code was accordingly changed to '''MT-13'''.
