==Description==
 
==Description==
A common sight in [[House Liao]] and [[Capellan Confederation]] air lances, the ''Transit'' has armor and weapons to spare. Built as a [[BattleMech|'Mech]]-buster and [[DropShip]] attack craft, the ''Transit'' isn't fast or agile, but it is easy to control and has had few loss of control accidents.

==Armament==
The main armament of the ''Transit'' is the giant [[Autocannon/20#Tomodzuru|Tomodzuru]] [[AC/20]] located in the nose, along with two tons of ammo to feed the monstrous autocannon. The four [[Medium_laser#Kajuka_Type_2_.22Bright_Blossom.22|Kajuka Type 2 "Bright Blossom"]] [[medium laser]]s are mounted to the front, two in the nose and one in each wing. This gives the ''Transit'' a backup when the ammo supply for the autocannon has been exhausted.

==Variants==
 
==Variants==
*; TR-9 : This variant is identical to the TR-10, except that it mounts [[ferro-aluminum]] armor and places an two additional armor points aft, as well as increasing the autocannon ammo load to 15 rounds total.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 110, "Capellan Confederation"</ref><ref>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 18</ref>
+
* TR-11 - Recon version, eliminating the four [[Medium Laser]]s to save weight for an enlarged cockpit and extra sensors. This version also has a second seat for an observer. BV (1.0) = 774<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 261</ref>,  BV (2.0) = 815
 
+
* TR-12 - The TR-12 is a total redesign, fitted with a Rawlings Extra-Light 250 engine, saving weight for the Lasers to be upgrade to Extended Range versions. The standard autocannon is replaced with a [[LB 20-X AC]] with an additional tonne of ammunition and an extra tonne of armor was added on. BV (1.0) = 1,444<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 262</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,616
*; TR-11 : A recon variant, the TR-11 eliminates the four [[medium laser]]s to save weight for an enlarged cockpit and extra sensors. This version also has a second seat for an observer. BV (1.0) = 774<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 261</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 87</ref>,  BV (2.0) = 815
 
 
 
*; TR-12 : The TR-12 is a total redesign, fitted with a [[Rawlings 250]] [[extralight engine]], freeing weight for the lasers to be upgraded to [[ER medium laser]]s. The standard [[AC/20]] is replaced with an [[LB 20-X AC]] with an additional ton of ammunition, and an extra ton of armor was added on. BV (1.0) = 1,444<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 262</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,616
 
 
 
*; TR-13X ''Transit'' Glare : This version replaces the standard weaponry with an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[improved heavy Gauss rifle]] and four [[ER medium laser]]s. The heat sinks were replaced by [[double heat sink|double strength models]], and the ''Transit Glare'' is protected by 10 tons of experimental [[reflective armor]]. BV (2.0) = 1,683<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 11</ref>
 
 
 
*; TR-13G : Based on the ''Transit Glare'', this version offers identical performance and protection to the pilot, with the only real change being the main armament. Unable to secure a steady supply of [[improved heavy Gauss rifle]]s, the TR-13G instead uses a [[Long Tom Cannon]] with three tons of ammunition as its main armament. This massive weapon provides a longer reach and massive firepower against incoming [[DropShip]]s while not affecting the ''Transit's'' traditional ground attack role. The variant use a [[Endicott Type 28 Maser]] communications system. BV (2.0) = 1,522<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 175</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Prototypes'', p. 88</ref>
 
 
 
==Design Quirks==
 
The TR-13G ''Transit'' variant is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name=TRO:Proto/>
 
* [[Atmospheric Flyer]]
 
* [[Hard to Pilot]]
