The TME-104 McCormick is a close-range assault 'Mech designed to thresh the enemy into a smoldering heap of rubble. Better armed than most medium 'Mech lances, this Clan machine of destruction mounts three heavy rapid-fire autocannon and a long-range missile fifteen-rack. Faster than other 'Mechs of its class, the McCormick can close relatively quickly and then pour immense amounts of ballistic death upon its target. Its primary weakness is its relative lack of armor; it only has 57 percent of an Atlas's armor. Wise commanders, however, can use the McCormick's superior speed and firepower to demolish any other assault 'Mech.
The TME-104 is selling well in both Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf-in-Exile.

DESIGNER'S NOTE: The name "McCormick" may seem odd for a BattleMech. If I remember my ninth-grade World Civilization classes correctly (and upon checking my resources, I have) Cyrus McCormick invented the mechanical reaper. A BattleMech that can cause up to 135 points of damage in a single turn (or at least 60 without overheating) deserves the title of "Reaper."
