Description
The Watchman is a 'Mech that was born of necessity. The idea for the design came when the bulk of the AFFS was moved to the Clan front. Because this seriously undermined the ability of the Federated Suns to keep its borders secure, the Watchman was designed to be distributed to militia units within the border marches to bulk up their strength. In its own right the Watchman is a durable and reliable 'Mech that is built with off the shelf components and is very easy to repair. The 'Mech is armored with eight and a half tons of standard armor, has a top speed of 86.4 km/h, and can jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. This, combined with the Watchman's varied arsenal, makes it an excellent trooper or trainer.
Armament
The primary weapon on the Watchman is a ChisComp 43 Special Large Laser which gives the Watchman good medium to long range striking power. To defend itself at close ranges, the 'Mech carries two ChisComp 39 Medium Lasers. Finally, to deter infantry attacks, the 'Mech has two Sperry Browning Machine Guns.
Variants
- WTC-4DM - An upgrade of the Watchman made after the incursion into the Draconis Combine by the duke of Robinson, the 4DM upgrades the Watchman to make it more potent on the modern battlefield. The 'Mech has had the Large Laser and Machine Guns replaced with a PPC, giving the 'Mech a great deal of long range firepower. The 'Mech has also upgraded its heat sinks to double heat sinks and the armor has been upgraded to Ferro-Fibrous armor, providing the 'Mech with better armor protection. BV (1.0) = 1,173
