OVERVIEW
The TME-146 OmniLocust is the last TME production line of this venerable 'Mech. It is a chassis devoid of weapons, intended to be filled to the gunwales by its purchaser with the most deadly means of destruction concievable.
While empty, its seven tons of pod space holds promise. It could carry a large extended-range laser and two medium lasers; a blistering arsenal of seven medium lasers; fourteen small lasers could needle an opponent to death; or a single extended-range particle projection cannon could spread the death about.

The Locust was not specifically named in the Harmony Gold suit against FASA, but was discontinued to avoid further legal problems. The statistics are mine.
