OVERVIEW

    A response to the success of jump-capable Inner Sphere scout 'Mechs, the TME-161 Phoenix shares the graceful lines of the Inner Sphere WSP-series Wasp and STG-series Stinger light 'Mechs.  Instead of performing reconnaisance and patrol duties like other light 'Mechs, the Phoenix is equipped for forward fighting against larger enemies.  Well armed and more maneuverable than the medium 'Mechs it is inteded to oppose, the Phoenix is a mobile combat platform suitable for fighting in all terrains thanks to its rear-torso mounted jump jets.

CAPABILITIES

    The Phoenix carries the latest in Clan weapons technology.   Standoff firepower is concentrated in the six Advanced Tactical Missile tubes, three located in each side torso.  The killing blow comes courtesy of a heavy large laser in the right arm, supported by twin heavy medium lasers in the left arm.   Eleven double-strength heat sinks dissipate the heat produced by these weapons.

VARIANTS

    Because the resource-starved Clans are beginning to disavow standard BattleMechs in favor of light OmniMechs and ProtoMechs, the TME-161-O is an OmniMech variant that removes the weapons and the extra heat sink to provide customizable pod space.
