OVERVIEW

    For as much as it sucks, TME Industries just can't get away from the crummy UrbanMech.  Sometime in 3011 TME began selling a refit kit that replaced the medium 10-class autocannon with a heavy 20-class autocannon, doubling the firepower for a modest exchange in armor.

VARIANTS

    The TME-88-A EvenBetterUrbanMech (3051) upgrades the TME-88 kit by replacing the heavy autocannon with a Gauss Rifle and adding Endo Steel structure.   The TME-88-B UberUrbanMech (3058) upgrades the TME-88-A by replacing the Gauss rifle with a rapid-fire heavy autocannon, removing the small laser for extra ammunition.   The TME-88-C UltraUrbanMech (3060) also upgrades the TME-88-A kit by replacing all weapons with twin medium pulse lasers and a rotary autocannon.
