Drawn by the tales of adventure in holovid dramas about mercenaries, Roberson had a lifelong dream of becoming a MechWarrior. However, a childhood disease left his nervous system damaged, and even with medication, his random spasms kept him from qualifying for BattleMech training. Roberson settled for [[IndustrialMech]] piloting and found a position as a technician in the 21st Centauri Lancers, piloting an ''Opossum'' SalvageMech.<ref name=DADossiers234/>

In [[3131]], Roberson persuaded his officers to allow a modification to his 'Mech, adding a [[Light AC/2|light AC/2]]. This quickly proved effective. In its first deployment, defending against a raid on [[Issaba]] by the [[Rim Territories]], Roberson retrieved his commander's vehicle under fire, disabling several raider vehicles in the process. A May [[3132]] joint [[Oriente Protectorate|Oriente]]-[[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] operation on [[Ventabren]], in which he extracted salvage while fending off unmarked attackers, brought him and his MOD media and government attention, leading to the standardization of Roberson's unique design. Further successes earned him a promotion from lance technician to a full post in [[Captain]] [[Chak Rasbid]]'s light support lance shortly before it was deployed to [[Towne]].<ref name=TRO:Ip24/>
