Marauder II C

The Marauder II C is a 100-ton assault built for skirmishing, a role that replaces the juggernaut brief of the 3012 MAD-4A. Where the original paired a PPC and Medium Laser in each arm, this variant carries an ER PPC and an ER Medium Laser in both the left and right arms, and an LB 10-X AC in the right torso stands in for the earlier Large Laser. A 400 XL fusion engine lifts cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed from 54 to 65 km/h, and jump range grows from 90 to 120 metres. Endo steel structure and ferro-fibrous armor replace the MAD-4A's standard fittings, while the heat-sink count falls from 29 single to 23 double. The design keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette and hyper-extending arm actuators as a command 'Mech, and General Motors/Blackwell Corporation now builds it at Outreach.
