OVERVIEW
The TME-120 Brawler is based on the VTOL gunship of the same name used by the Arm forces of the Total Annihilation S/TS. It is a well-armed and armored vehicle with Vertical Take-Off and Landing as well as hover capabilities. It can keep pace with a Corsair aerospace fighter and has enough fuel to stay in the air as long as most other aerospace fighters. What sets the Brawler apart from other craft is its ability to hover and move like a rotor-based VTOL.
CAPABILITIES
The Brawler is armed with twin large and medium pulse lasers and has fifteen double-dissipation heat sinks to deal with the heat generated, keeping it cool in the heat of battle. Nearly ten tons of ferro-fibrous armor liberally protects its frame.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-120 is popular with pilots due to its ability to perform pop-up attacks previously limited to helicopters. Of course, the increased fuel consumption required to hover drastically cuts down on the Brawler's in-air time.

DESIGNER'S NOTES: Yes, it is an Arm Brawler gunship, copyright Cavedogs. Stats are mine. CGI is courtesy of www.tauniverse.com.
VTOL RULES: The Brawler may operate in VTOL mode, moving like a helicopter instead of like an Aerospace fighter. However, each movement point costs 3 fuel points. Standing still costs 2 fuel points. Obviously Aerospace 2 rules are far more forgiving when it comes to fuel endurance.
