OVERVIEW
The TME-34 Armageddon is the second aspect of an attempt by TME Industries to placate the Clans. After the Jade Falcons threatened to attack TME's base, and a very minor Falcon war fleet was destroyed, Weirdo Zone Diplomatic Corps officers as well as Flag Admiral Novotieskotov of the Weirdo Zone Exploratory Services ordered TME Industries to acquiesce to the Clanners' demands for a greater market share. Although even mighty Clan WarShips posed no threat to second-line Weirdo Zone cruisers and destroyers, WZES top brass figured it "wouldn't do" if Clan police-action fleets kept disappearing mysteriously.
The TME-34 owes a great deal of its design philosophy to the AS7 series Atlas BattleMech. In its weapons loadout to its appearance, it mirrors the time-tested titan. It also shares design aspects of the Clan Man O' War OmniMech, with its superior mobility and jump capability.
CAPABILITIES
The Armageddon carries a long-range missile twenty rack, two short-range missile six racks, an extended-range large laser and four medium extended-range lasers. A small laser was added as an afterthought. This weaponry combination gives it power at any range. It carries slightly less armor than most other big designs, but makes up for it in superior speed and the ability to leap over obstacles.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-34 is relatively popular in Clan second-line and solhama units, but the spotlight in the nose has given it the derogatory name of "Rudolph" in freebirth units.
