Description

Intended to serve as a medium assault unit, the Hydra carries heavy armor and a decent weapon suite. Unfortunately to get the armor and weaponry, the designers had to omit jump jets and a larger engine that would increase the Hydra's speed. These limitations aside, the Hydra is a good general purpose ProtoMech.

Armament

For its primary weapon, the Hydra uses a Streak SRM-3 launcher. The ammunition efficiency of this weapon insures that the pilot makes good use of the ten shots. If the Streak ammo bin runs dry, the Hydra isn't helpless however. It will simply switch to using the torso mounted Micro Pulse Laser.

Variants

No variants of the Hydra are known to exist.
