Recognition Notes
The Merlin MLN-1A is a 60-ton brawler, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 with a short 120-metre jump capability. Its close-in punch comes from a Medium Laser in each arm and a Flamer and Machine Gun in the left torso, while a PPC and LRM 5 in the right torso let it reach out before the fighting closes. The frame is built rugged and field-serviceable, with an emphasis on easy maintenance in the field. Mountain Wolf BattleMechs builds the type at its Alpheratz factory.
