OVERVIEW
The TME-77 Assassinator is directly based on the ASN-series Assassin produced by Maltex Corporation. Already a sleek 'Mech, the TME-77 modifies the design to carry heavier weapons, heavier armor, and sneakier technology.
CAPABILITIES
The Assassinator modification includes an entirely new lower right arm assembly with three medium lasers and a right torso long-range missile ten-rack that replaces the five-rack normally there. Endo steel structure and an extralight engine replace the short-range missile rack in the left torso. A small laser in the back of the expanded head module provides a minimum of rear protection.
The shining star of the Assassinator's equipment load is a null-signature system that hides it from enemy radar and targeting computer. The downside to the radar-absorbent material used to coat the Assassin is that it limits its colors to black and dark grays.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-77 Assassinator sells well due to its fast speed, heavy arsenal, and stealth. TME's cut rates also makes it a steal compared to hyper-expensive and super-secret stealth 'Mechs.
