The ''Vulcan'''s primary weapons are a [[Firestorm (Flamer)|Firestorm]] [[Flamer]] mounted in the right arm and a [[Sperry Browning]] [[Machine Gun]] in the left arm, fed by one ton of ammunition stored in the left torso.  To give it some anti-'Mech firepower the ''Vulcan'' was given a reliable [[Armstrong (AC2)|Armstrong]] [[Autocannon/2]] with one ton of ammo, both mounted in the right torso, however it performed poorly in this regard and was most often employed as an anti-building weapon.  A [[Randell]] [[medium laser]] in the left torso served as a backup weapon for the autocannon, while ten [[heat sinks]] are used to keep the 'Mech cool.  Its one true deficiency was the lack of manipulative hands, limiting its ability to engage in close combat fighting with other 'Mechs.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/>

The ''Vulcan'' is lightly armored at only five tons, though this is typically sufficient when facing infantry forces and its narrow profile makes it a harder target to hit. A cruising speed of 97.2 km/h is enhanced by six [[jump jet]]s mounted in the rear of the Vulcan's torso, specially vented to reduce heat buildup, giving it a jumping range of 180 meters.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/>
