Description
A middleweight ProtoMech, the Triton was designed by Clan Goliath Scorpion for their Seekers.[3]
Armament
The main weapon, a Streak SRM-4, is very conservative with its ammunition, while the ER Micro Laser provides a weapon that isn't tied to logistical bases. This is very useful for a Goliath Scorpion Seeker, as they may be far away from Goliath Scorpion resources for a long time.
In an offensive capacity, the ammunition efficiency of the Triton makes it a good choice for extended raiding or reconnaissance missions.[3]
Variants
A fire-support variant exists that swaps the Streak launcher for an LRM-3 and a dozen rounds of ammunition. An extended-range small laser and a second micro laser, allowing for effective point-blank fighting conditions, use up the excess tonnage. Two other variants, used much more sparingly, appeared right before the HPG white-out occurred, making use of heavy lasers. One strips the entire weapon load out for a single heavy medium laser. Though lacking in overall firepower, this configuration lacks any need for ammunition resupply and has an impressive armor penetration capability. The other, more radical, variant loses the main gun (keeping the armor profile on the rest of the Triton the same with the exception of the torso) and mounts a heavy small laser in each arm and an extended-range micro laser in the torso.[3]
