OVERVIEW
The TME-20 Headsmasha was intended as a heavier, more durable version of the Star League-era Hussar. With a speed matching that of designs half its mass and armed with a respectable array of weaponry, the TME-20 Headsmasha is a superior recon 'Mech.
CAPABILITIES
The Headsmasha's primary strength lay it its mobility. It has a maximum speed of 129.6 kilometers per hour and can jump 240 meters. Second is its arsenal of an extended-range large laser in the center torso and two medium lasers in the arms. The large laser is sturdily mounted in a built-up hardpoint, minimizing the likelyhood of damage (unlike the mostly exposed large laser of the Hussar). Ten double heat sinks allows the Headsmasha to run and fire all of its weapons without even remotely overheating. Finally, it is well armored with six and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-20 Headsmasha is very popular with reconnaissance units, where the Headsmasha's large canopy makes it useful in such roles and its durability and idiot-proof design makes it perfect for training green troops.
VARIANTS
There are no factory variants of the TME-20.
