−	The ''Banzai'''s weapon loadout is intended to compensate and benefit its incredible speeds by assault 'Mech standards.

Produced by Luthien Armor Works of [[New Samarkand]] under supervision of [[Mariella Irabu]], and utilizing a mix of [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Clan]] technology while based on the chassis of the ''[[Daboku]]''/''[[Mauler]]'' assault 'Mech, and much like the extensive modification of the ''[[Charger]]'' into the ''[[Hatamoto-Chi]]'', the ''Banzai'' is regarded as a separate new design. Built around the MAL-1K ''Mauler'''s [[Endo Steel]] chassis and powered by a massive 360-rated [[extralight fusion engine]], augmented by the inclusion of both [[MASC]] and a [[Supercharger]], the ''Banzai'' is capable of reaching speeds of 100 km/h in brief bursts. Seventeen and half tons of standard armor allow the 'Mech to weather an incredible volume of fire as it advances, while fifteen [[Double Heat Sink]]s ensure the ''Banzai'' is able to fire its ranged weaponry as it closes with its intended target. For the pilot's protection from the 'Mech's booby trap, the ''Banzai'' is equipped with a [[Full-Head Ejection System]]. Only four of the designs were produced during the [[Jihad]], with one lost while it was assigned to the [[8th Dieron Regulars]]. The 'Mech was used in the assault against [[Word of Blake]] forces in the occupied Prefecture capital of [[Dieron]]. The pilot successfully engaged the Blakists, and found it needed to withdraw. The ''Banzai'' was destroyed during its retreat, when its engine was breached by enemy fire. After the pilot was automatically ejected from the 'Mech, the ''Banzai'''s self-destruct booby trap destroyed the surrounding Blakists (and Kurita allies) in an explosion. The pilot was killed after its Full-Head Ejection System landed roughly.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Kurita'', p. 7 Banzai - Brief history of Banzai BattleMech.</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The ''Banzai'''s weapon load-out is intended to compensate and benefit its incredible speeds by assault 'Mech standards.
