OVERVIEW

    The TME-26 Aragorn is an average multipurpose combat 'Mech based off of the old Weirdo Zone Army APMW-5 medium Panzermensch.  It has both long and short range capabilities, and is relatively unimaginative.  It was first introduced to the Battletech S/TS in 3041 and upgraded to Star League technology ten years later in the TME-26-A model in 3051.

CAPABILITIES

    The TME-26 carries proven (read: old) technology.   A standard fusion engine as well as standard construction materials holds costs down.  The large laser (upgraded to extended range in the -A) in the left arm and the long-range missile ten-rack in the left torso provide the long-ranged interception firepower whilst three medium lasers in the right arm and a short-range missile six-rack in the right torso are the short-ranged punishing power.  Twelve heat sinks (later double heat sinks in the -A) provide acceptable heat dissipation.

VARIANTS

    The TME-26 is possibly the most average TME design in existance.  Can't always be breaking the mold, I guess.  The TME-26/a-A does have both Endo Steel and Ferro Fibrous construction materials, increasing the durability.

The TME-26-A upgrades the large laser to an ER model, the heat sinks to double heat sinks, and possibly increases the armor by converting to Endo Steel and using the resulting tonnage to add Ferro Fibrous armor.
