==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Siren''''' [[ProtoMech]] was originally designed by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] to serve as a reconnaissance unit. Its high speed allowed it to rush forward, find enemy forces, call in a missile strike, and evacuate without the enemy being able to see them. Given the light armor it carries, the ''Siren'''s best defense is its mobility.<ref name=TRO:3060p197/>

As the ''Siren'' was intended to be a scout and observer, it only carries a [[Light Machine Gun]] in either arm, each supplied with just 50kg of ammunition.  Its armoring was also kept light in order to achieve a cruising speed of 108 km/h.<ref name=TRO:3060p197/>
