Overview:

The first and only design so far by TWW , this mech is proving to be very capable in a close combat role or as a average medium mech. With it’s standard engine to bring down costs and boost survivability, CASE , and the maximum amount of armor that can be put on a 55 ton machine, the Barbarian is a dangerous opponet.

Capabilities:

This mech is designed for one thing only: colse combat. For those who like to get up close and dirty, then this is their mech. It has the survivability to get within range to fire it’s accurate weaponary. An added bounus is that you can Alpha Strike all day with no lost heat sinks or engine hits and have nothing on the heat scale. A popular tactic with test pilots was to charge the enemy, then jump behind them and blast away their enemy’s rear at close range. Skilled test pilots in Barbarians could take down mechs at least about a quarter more(75 tons or so) their size. There is a rumor around that one test pilot,thought to be the CEO and President of TWW, to have taken down an AS7-K Atlas, but it is only a rumor.

Varients:

With the Babarians lack of long range weapons, A varient has been suggested to replace the machine guns with LRM’s, or the medium Pulse Lasers with ER or standard MediumLasers

Deployment:

So far the Barbarian is in use only with the Federated suns military in limited use and with TWWs local militia.

House Rule is Machine Guns have -1 to hit beacuse of targeting computer, instead of no bonus with level 2 rules.
