==Description==
The '''''Prey Seeker''''', manufactured by [[Achernar BattleMechs]] on [[Cahokia]], was designed to be a high-speed scout and raider; while the ''Prey Seeker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mission profile speaks to [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] who feel marginalized by the growth of combined-arms warfare, the unusual construction of the arms and the phenomenal speeds the 'Mech can reach, echo the ''[[Dasher]]'' [[OmniMech]] first seen in the [[Inner Sphere]] during the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name="TRO:3145FSp30+"/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Capable of running at a staggering 194 km/h thanks to the extralight, but frighteningly expensive, [[Magna 180]] [[XXL engine]], the ''Prey Seeker'' takes a minimalist approach to equipment to pay for that high rate of speed. Mounting a [[small cockpit]] and an [[XL gyro]], the ''Prey Seeker'' mounts three and a half tons of armor and lacks [[jump jet]]s. The minimal armor present over the rear of the ''Prey Seeker'' means that if hit from behind by any but the lightest of weapons, the ''Prey Seeker'' runs the risk of taking internal damage.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp30+"/>

Mounting a pair of [[ChisComp 73]] [[medium re-engineered laser]]s for defense, the ''Prey Seeker'' isn't a brawler, but the uncommon weapons do offer an advantage against opponents that make use advanced armor types such as [[hardened armor]], [[ferro-lamellor]], and [[reflective armor]].<ref name="TRO:3145FSp30+"/><ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 244 Re-Engineered Lasers. - Other damage a Re-Engineered Laser can damage.</ref>

==Variants==
*; PY-SR20 : This variant drops the re-engineered lasers of the standard variant and instead mounts a pair of ER Medium Lasers in each arm, along with a Targeting Computer in it's head. BV (2.0) = 1,060<ref>''Record Sheets: 3150'', p. 132</ref>

*; PY-SR30 : Hunting and supporting infantry is the main focus of this variant. It removes its complete energy weapon compliment, instead choosing to mount a machine gun array of 3x Machine Guns in each arm, carrying no other special equipment. To feed these two arrays, it carries a total of 1 ton of ammo, split into half ton magazines and mounted in each arm. BV (2.0) = 331<ref>''Record Sheets: 3150'', p. 133</ref>

==Design Quirks==
The ''Prey Seeker'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name="TRO:3145FSp30+"/>
* [[Exposed Actuators]]
* [[Overhead Arms]]
