Archer (Wolf)

The Archer (Wolf) is a 70-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 3055 rework of the 2458 ARC-1A original. In place of the medial arm-mounted medium lasers, it carries an ER Large Laser in each arm, while the LRM 20 racks remain in the left and right torsos. A rear-facing Small Pulse Laser sits in the center torso and an Anti-Missile System is fitted in the head. A 280 fusion engine raises cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed from 54 to 65 km/h, and endo steel structure with ferro-fibrous armor replaces the standard structure and primitive plating of the original; the heat-sink fit grows from 10 single sinks to 15 double sinks. It carries reinforced battle fists on both arms and stands as a command 'Mech with a stable firing platform. Arcturan Arms Refit Facility builds it at Arcturus, with production also carried out at other sites.
