OVERVIEW
The TME-76 Redneck is a simple, rugged design that relies on an array of projectile weapons. Inspired by the designer's years living on a frontier world with... slightly less-than-advanced technolgy and a society that was lacking, the Redneck exemplifies the fighting spirit of the inhabitants of such worlds.
CAPABILITIES
A highly stylized 'Mech, each of its weapons are modeled after the personal weaponry held dear by all true rednecks. The rapid-fire autocannon is molded into an assault rifle shape; the shotgun autocannon is, logically, shaped like a shotgun; and the light Gauss rifle looks like, well, a rifle. The medium lasers on the legs are shaped like heavy pistols. All of these weapons are surprisingly easy to use, even for the least experienced 'Mechwarrior.
While the disengagable arm mounts for the autocannon are commonplace, the light Gauss rifle emplacement is worth noting. Normally stored in an upright position on the back of the 'Mech, it is elevated and leveled out over the shoulder for use in combat. This location makes it perfect for tracking and engaging aircraft.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-76 Redneck is popular in border world militias and Successor State armies, both as a joke.
