Description

The designers at Kallon Industries used the Black Hawk clan OmniMech. The Penetrator has an all energy weapons arsenal and uses twelve double heat sinks to handle the massive heat load from its weapons. The 'Mech is lacking in speed though when compared to the Black Hawk. This is because the 'Mechs designers used a Vlar 300 fusion engine for its combat durability giving the 'Mech a top speed of 64.8 kph. To help offset the 'Mechs lack of mobility the Penetrator has four Anderson 398 jump jets that give it added mobility with a jumping distance of one hundred and twenty meters. The Penetrator also carries a respectable thirteen tons of armor. When the 'Mechs heavy armor protection is combined with its standard engine and very small amount of ammunition on board the Penetrator is a very rugged and hard to kill unit.

Armament

The Penetrator carries a blistering laser array. The primary weapons are a pair of arm mounted Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER Large Lasers for long range firepower. At close ranges the 'Mech carries six Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Lasers which are mounted in its right and left torsos. Finally the 'Mech carries its only ammunition based weapon, a Yori Flyswatter Anti-Missile System for added defense against missile attacks.

Variants

  • PTR-6M - The 6M is a variant of the Penetrator that looks to alleviate the 'Mechs heat build up by removing two of the Medium Pulse Lasers and replacing them with five additional double heat sinks. BV (1.0) = 1,459
  • PTR-6S - A simple modification of the Penetrator the 6S model removes one and a half tons of armor. This is done to add to the 'Mech a Guardian ECM Suite which gives the 'Mech protection from advanced enemy electronics. BV (1.0) = 1,391
